I was once a registered Republican, but that was several decades ago. I'm registered as an Independent Voter now.
I've read several articles recently in which some Republicans see Gov. Palin as the one to revitalize the Republican Party because of her strong anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage, and pro Christian religious values.
They weren't concerned about her ideas regarding
1. the resolution of the two wars now going on,
2. the economic crisis facing us,
3. the US's deteriorating relationships with what used to be friendly or at least neutral nations,
4. the need to reduce our dependence upon oil for energy,
5. the environmental crisis,
6. and a host of other problems.
I guess I won't be rejoining the Republican Party anytime soon.
