Tea party ruins GOP

Tue., Oct. 30, 2012

As a lifelong Republican, I am now convinced. The hate spewing out of the tea party and other right-wing extremists has convinced me that the Republican Party is broken beyond repair. As a consequence, I will not vote for a single Republican candidate in the upcoming elections.

Instead, I will vote for independents and Democrats, and if I can’t find any on the ballot, then I will write in Honey Boo Boo. She has more honesty, integrity and intelligence than any of the Republicans running this year.
