"I've see how the IRS now targets the vocal R's for audits under Obama"

No, you haven't, because they have done no such thing. You are making that up, just like 95% of the nonsense that comes out of the mouths of the phonies who call themselves conservative these days.

The way I figure it, anybody who could actually believe the garbage Republicans claim isn't smart enough to serve in an elected office.

We need a third party, The Welfare Party. Talk about a bought and paid for vote.

Years ago I was forced to choose a party if I wanted to vote in the primaries. When that was no longer the case, I returned to being unaffiliated. I am neither Republican or Democrat - don't fit either profile. I haven't just moved here from out of state or recently become disillusioned with a particular party. I am not part of the "persuadable universe." I have my beliefs, opinions and values. My son, voting for the first time this year, is unaffiliated as well. We want to be able to vote for who we think is the best candidate, not for a particular party - good, bad or ugly. The down side? You get spammed, robocalled and junk mail from both parties.

The party's themselves have caused this issue. In addition, we have caused all the issues in Congress by sending die hard libs and conservatives instead of moderates to DC.

We are paying for those mistakes.

I'd be happy to vote for Reagan again (assuming he's alive, cogent and eligible) but sadly the current republican party would never nominate him. junkmail5 November 14, 2012 2:37 p.m. Report abuse

So true! Reagan would be a flaming socialist, liberal, illegal immigrant lover.

One more advantage to being registered as Unaffliated. You don't get as many of the phone calls and as much of the garbage mail as the registered donkeys and elephants do. Unaffliateds very seldom if ever get thier person in office though.

How was Reagan a conservative? He tripled the debt

In his deal with the Dems, the Dems agreed to cut spending for every dollar of tax increases...Reagan's big folly was trusting the Dems to keep their word...oh, and he inherited such a mess ;)

I will always remain unaffiliated and vote for the candidate I think will best represent the country. From my observations, it won't be a Republican anytime soon.

Sound like a Democrat to me

Conservatism won easily with Reagan and with a REAL conservative would win again today anderson

Ronald Reagan would be thrown out of the convention center as a raging liberal by the current Grover Norquist worshiping Republican party...

That's a major part of their current problem.

What's funny is, Norquist claims he came up with his pledge because of Reagan- despite the fact Reagan not only didn't sign it, he repeatedly violated it during his presidency.

I'd be happy to vote for Reagan again (assuming he's alive, cogent and eligible) but sadly the current republican party would never nominate him.

I will never vote again - 90% of the posts on here are referring to elections as a game with the win/lose comments...thats sad...the people we vote into office decide the future and direction our country takes - right now we are in a losing direction, not like Romney wouldve corrected it...
