Do you know anyone who has made the leap from the GOTP to become unaffiliated or to switch to the Democratic Party? I've had conversations with three individuals this week alone.

The week last September the NCGOP rammed that poorly written, radical amendment to our state constitution through the legislature, several GOP-registered friends took to Facebook and other social media publicly announcing their disaffiliation from the NC Republican party to their entire networks.
One guy in particular used to regularly post GOP-related links on his page. It's almost all more Democratic-leaning stuff now. One even proudly posted a pic of his newly updated voter registration.
Of course, I'm disgusted by both parties as I've long indicated here. But this phenomenon of "seeing-the-NCGOP-for-what-it-really-is" is very real in NC of late.
For no reason beyond animal ignorance we have tried to obliterate you: to rob you of your identity, crush your self-worth, destroy your hopes, turn you against yourself. We have harnessed our almost unimaginable power to bring to you the singular, unceasing message that God finds you reprehensible.
Shamefully, we have turned the way you love into the way we hate.And for that we now know that it is we, and not you, who deserve hell.
Seeing this kind of writing from a leading Christian activist almost makes me believe there might be a god.

Recent conversation (paraphrased) with an old friend:
"Whatt'ya think about them turkeys?"
"It's not so much about the level of pain inflicted on the animals, although that does piss me off. It's more about how any human being could find joy or entertainment torturing animals. It's not a great leap to go from there to torturing people, you know."
"I knew you was gonna say something like that!"
"That's your conscience talking. It has nothing to do with me."
"I knew you was gonna say something like that, too!"

The first week of our new frontpage team
showing very positive signs. All statistics up significantly from the previous week. Of course, that was the week between Christmas and New Years. : )

Then there's this guy who "outed" himself.
Yes. Amendment One was the last straw for several folks I know

Populists would be wise to take advantage of it.
Me too
I'm not as far gone as you, but I'm pretty far gone.

Well worth your time to read the whole thing:

This is so wrong on so many levels
Hey buddy, can you spare $5 million bucks?
Apparently I'm predictable
