I would like today to mark my declaration of independence from the Republican Party. I have been considering this move for some time, but the White House and establishment conservative supported victory of evil incumbent Senator Arlen Specter over true conservative Representative Pat Toomey in yesterday's Pennsylvania Republican senatorial primary put me over the edge. This is not a party I want in any way to be associated with anymore. I will not give it money. I will not use its name. I will not run for office. And I will rarely say nice things about it. The Republican Party is a party of power-hungry hacks, opportunists, corporate lobbyists, effete suburban hypocrites, nut-ball Protestant fundamentalists, and most importantly, cowards. It wants to flood the America I love with hordes of legal and illegal aliens hostile to my values and way of life. It wants to brand as racist and evil anyone who speaks forthrightly about loving and defending those values and way of life. Oh sure, it waxes poetic about ITS view of American values and the American way of life, but that is largely a false view based on inside-the-beltway propositional notions of fairness and colorblindness and the like. The Republican Party long ago failed in its most important task -- the defense of American culture from those within this country who wish to change or destroy it. Now, the Republican Party fails even to make superficial gestures in this regard.

Pennsylvania Republicans had the choice yesterday between a liberal abortionist tax and spend liberal with a foul personality, and a true conservative legislator. Exit polls show that left alone, they would have chosen the latter as their candidate for the United States Senate. But the White House and alleged "conservative" Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum campaigned heavily for Specter, and he won a narrow victory. Well, the White House, Republican senators, and anyone still willing to march in an army behind these types of people can go to hell. They may be able to rationalize when Chairman Specter of the Senate Judiciary Committee has a large role in determining who the next three Supreme Court justices are, but I refuse to do so. The Republican Party has betrayed the conservative movement one too many times for me, and I'm through with it. Let the neocons and the so-called "moderates" have the whole rotten institution and duke it out with each other; I'm too disgusted to take part anymore.
