Well, I'm still a conservative. I'm just not a Republican anymore. I changed my affiliation to "Unaffiliated" late last week. I got really tired of getting beat up by people inside my own party. It has been that way for some time, but lately the rancor had become quite a bit more nasty, including name calling in public. It was a very hard decision, and I'm not going to run again, so it doesn't much matter that I've changed to unaffiliated. Still, there were many people who I think still supported me. I wish they had spoken up more than they did.
