re: #614 KGxvi
For me the last straw was 2004 - I kept my registration for a little while still out of pure laziness, but the purple heart band aids and the convention speeches of Obama and Zell Miller made it clear to me that I didn’t have a place in the GOP anymore.
It is sort of interesting that it took a Democrat speaking at the RNC to realize you had no place in the GOP. No knock, that Miller speech was awful. I still remember it for how over the top it was and how nasty that convention was. It’s why I’m in no rush to rehabilitate the Bush campaign and people. Teh attacks on Kerry were awful.
