If you don't approve of a lot of what they do then why align yourself with them?
Here are things they say they are for, but never actually do follow through with.
Less government. - they actually grow the government.
Balanced budget - they never do this.
Spend less - never happens.
More personal freedom - only if they approve of these so called freedoms.
bringing "morality" to Washington. - yeah, right.
Some things they actually do:
Pro life - they are pro life, gotta give them that.
Cut taxes - while most of their tax cuts go to the wealthy, they do tend to cut taxes and maybe you are wealthy and can take advantage of them.
off the top of my head that is all I can think of.
There are things both parties do or supposedly stand for that I agree with, but not nearly enough that I would ever consider myself aligned with either one. Wouldn't it be easier to be an independent? By changing your registration for republican to independent and not giving money to them (if you do) you send them a message that you are not happy with a lot of the things they are doing.
