I know of MANY that have changed their registrations to Democrat for the exact same reasons you speak of. I used to think that the war was the basis for discontent, and deservedly so, but you are right on about pandering to the special interests - especially in the Senate. I don't know if you saw the "earmark" post that was up here. It's pretty obvious what's "important" to Robach, Alesi and Bruno - little league baseball and all that jazz. Families are struggling, paying taxes that the "3 little pigs" turn into pork to hand out to their special interest projects - all the while it's the same distressed taxpayer that's providing the bacon for the pork brothers. The tide is turning thanks to good people like you. Thanks for your perspectives and for letting others fed up with their GOP registrations that they're not alone in switching. This is the year to send the pork brothers a strong message - it's OUR money - it should be OUR community that benefits. DOH - like common sense amongst them is GONE. Welcome Pat!

Clean Elections (publicly financed) is another great way of getting politicians to focus on the voters instead of moneyed special interests. Hi Pat, and welcome!

IT PAINS ME AS I GREW UP IN THE MIDWEST AND WAS A REPUBLICAN MOST OF MY LIFE. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BECOME A PARTY OF PANDERERS AND FOLLOWERS OF SPECIAL INTERESTS. I INTEND TO VOTE STRAIGHT DEM TO SHOW MY DISPLEASURE! BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF LEADERSHIP AT THE LOCAL AND FEDERAL LEVEL I HAVE CHANGED MY REGISTRATION TO DEM.

My friend said she heard he gets things done, and I couldn't advise her not to vote for Robach. Now, thanks to RT, I can say I know enough about Joe Robach and can tell people that voting for him is a huge mistake.
