Well written and some good points. I don't support any so-called leader but the personal insults and hate are not helpful.
From your introduction I got the impression that you were not in fact a republican because you are skeptical of the two party system. What in fact did you mean?
@teerx come check out my second post (I should have introduced myself first but went out of order.

Basically I see little difference in REpub/DEmocrat, though the media would lead us to believe they're polar opposites. Dems are supposed to be anti-war and pro-civil rights. We haven't seen that the last 8 years. Repubs are supposed to be small government and GWBush did nothing but start 2 new wars, increased govt with Dept of Homeland Security, No Child Left Behind, Medicaid Part D, etc.
We're destined for more government with both of them, and I'll keep writing and hoping to expose why that's bad.
Isn't this that post?!
I agree, there's little difference when it comes to what matter. Then are you a republican in the political philosophy sense, not the party sense?
Downvote my copy/paste skills!

I lean more constitutional conservative vice republican.
