   I ripped up my federal conservative memebership. Too many liars doing   
   just what I voted for them not to do. Conservatives will never get my   
   vote again unless they can first prove they are worthy of my vote. Same   
   can be said of Liberal losers and criminals, and the NDiaPers.   
      
   Politicians are like diapers, change often to avoid the stink.   
      
   --   
   I would rather be a paid up Conservative nut job than a Liberal with no   
   nuts, no job in debt and living off of other people like a leach.
