Although at some point in time the Republican party may have stood for something great, it now only represents the transfer of wealth to a few, a massive explosion in the size and cost of government, and a loss of civil liberties for those of us not fortunate enough to be wealthy enough to buy ourselves protection from all that has been done to destroy our country.

This election was not so much an acceptance of Democratic ideals, but rather, a rejection of the devastating policies and ideologies of those who high-jacked the Republican party. Its amazing how the smell of money and the potential for unmitigated power can transform other wise and formerly very decent people into detached vultures.

I would rather see the rise of a third party than to see the Republican party revived. As a country I believe we have outgrown what has become a blight on us all.

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone; and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.--John Quincy Adams
