The Republican Party Now Knows I’ve Left

Just got a letter in the mail. Quote:

This is to inform you we have received your affidavit of voter registration and have taken the following action:

-Your party affiliation has been changed from REPUBLICAN to UNENROLLED

This was a long time coming. When I changed my residency from Maine to Massachusetts they let me register to vote. Given that I knew Massachusetts was maggoty with Democrats, and I still had faith in the Republican party, I signed up for the Mass GOP.

Then there was 8 years of Bush, and the foundation of the Homeland Security act and the TSA. There were the years of Mitt Romney. There were the surprisingly BETTER years under Deval Patrick. Turns out a stupid authoritarian will fuck you less than a smart one.

The big blow was Scott Brown, I donated to his election campaign in 2010, I’ll probably never give to ANY candidate of any party ever again thanks to that turncoat asshole.

The sealing deal was 2012 where my major choice was four more years of Barack Obama, or electing Willard Mitt Romney. I voted for Gary Johnson, who would have made an Amazing president, and knew that he wouldn’t win. Give me the choice of four more years of Obama, and 4-8 of Romney, I’ll take Obama, thanks.

So on Tuesday I was running errands with LaWeer’da and our course took us right past city hall. We swung by the town clerk who was enamored with my cute baby, and I withdrew myself from the Republican party.

The nice part of Unenrolled in Massachusetts is I can now vote in any primary I want to, I just have to pick one per election. So even if I was still a Republican, I would have more power to vote.

But I’m not a Republican. I used to be for sending in the troops…but what has that got us? Lots of wounded vets, and shithole nations just as shitty. I used to think the Republicans were for freedom, but turns out they’re soft on guns, and hard for men in blue gloves touching my penis, and spooks listening to my phone calls.

Then there’s their strategy for winning elections. Pick the least conservative candidate and watch them lose. Hell the only reason why George W. Bush won a second term was because John Kerry is such a lightweight. Hell he’s such a lightweight that he makes Barack Obama look like a Heavyweight!

I’ve always been pro-gay, and against the war on drugs, both are vestiges of my “Progressive” days. Turns out that platform is right…well given that the Democrats aren’t actually VOTING for gay rights or to legalize drugs…

Really I tell people I don’t follow Massachusetts sports because Massachusetts politics are much more interesting. I guess that sports mentality lead me to believe that I should be rooting for one team.

I was wrong, and now I’m done with that shit.

I couldn’t feel better!
