I have considered that, but I didn't get to participate in the primaries as indy. Living most of my young adult life in a county that was 13:1 Democrat, I could not accept their lack of principles. That left the Republican party and I registered and remained there throughout my adult life. One exception was a Democrat poker playing friend asked me to vote for him in primary. I complied and changed registration during primary about 30 years ago. He was elected and still holds office. I returned to my party.
Would like to be in TParty, but people talk about you and the party, and I don't know why. Who opposes limited government and lower taxes - that IDs me. I have asked people to tell me what they find objectionable to the TParty, but I cannot get anyone to explain. Because someone carried a gun to a rally? That was a radical individual. Or someone carried a rebel flag to a rally - that to an individual.
