A journalist from the Las Vegas Review Journal comes out of the closet and makes the jump to the GOP.
First, I’m not trying to time anything. Enough was enough. Could stand no more. So, when it came time to renew my driver’s license on June 9, I also gave the Democratic Party the pink slip.
I pushed the DMV clerk the paperwork. She shoved it back and said I didn’t have to fill out that form if my address remained the same.
“No, I want to change party affiliation.”
“Oh,” she said. “Had enough of the president, have we?”
“Up to here. I quit.”
Welcome, Mr. Frederick. I have a feeling that you won’t be alone. Come 2010, I think there will be more defections to the GOP than anytime since the 1994 Republican Revolution. I think a whole bunch of folks are having some buyer’s remorse. And I think a lot of people who were so cavalier about politics are now scared shitless over the things they are seeing from the Democrat regime in DC.

Here’s hoping, bud. Here’s hoping. We certainly need to overhaul the GOP, though–because they have been, if you’ll pardon the phrase, verbally fellating the radical liberals for quite a while now–so it’s no wonder that people are fed up with them.
But, thank God, conservatives (with or without a party affiliation) are still the majority in America.
Great post! After all the stuff I have been reading on Malkin’s blog, this was a small lift to my day.
I was at a quarterly church confernce this Saturday. I am a delegate from my parish.
Nationwide, church tithing is up 6% even in this bad economy. Perhaps this is due to fear of Obama and people turning back to God? I said such and was shouted down once again.
“I don’t want my great-grandchildren growing up in cradle-to-grave government care, where only the privileged few may afford a car, or own a home, or get non-rationed health care.”
Even I don’t think Obama wants that for America. But I do think he wants to take it farther than it has ever gone. That’s scary enough. We’ve ventured far enough to the left to know socialism does not work.
Hmmm, so you can change affliation at the DMV? I need to do that, I registered myself as a socialist when I was 20 or so (GAG) and need to fix that.

Yes. You can change party affiliation at the DMV. It is called Motor Voter.
