Justin Amash: Our politics is in a partisan death spiral. That’s why I’m leaving the GOP.
By Justin Amash
July 4 at 6:00 AM


Today, I am declaring my independence and leaving the Republican Party. No matter your circumstance, I’m asking you to join me in rejecting the partisan loyalties and rhetoric that divide and dehumanize us. I’m asking you to believe that we can do better than this two-party system — and to work toward it. If we continue to take America for granted, we will lose it.

LOSER

Every word he says in his statement is 100% true. Whether or not he’s stating his real beliefs is unknown. He may be lying for his own political future as a typical politician. But his statement is absolute. I’m a 40 year member of the Republican Party and wince at what inaction occurred under Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. Who are they subservient to ? Certainly not the people. They did nothing with a Republican majority. They’re corrupt for power only and the hell with the people. Read Amash entire statement and correct anything he or George Washington said.

I can’t wait to vote for him at the libertarian convention and again in the general.
A true conservative and defender of the constitution.
A true free trade, anti war, and anti welfare candidate.

I didnt think much of his Trump impeachment rant on twitter....his representations, to me, were pretty disingenuous. So he was banished to the isle of misfit toys.

Just not for him in terms of his rationale for departure.

Justin says this, but then gets behind the impeachment of a President based solely on his reaction to an investigation based on phony and partisan opposition research, which was then used to justify secret spying. What a fraud.

What a tee total POS, he denounces both parties but we know he is a democrat protecting his family business. He will get voted-out and won't survive as an "I" "D" or "R". Just put L for Loser by his name. Most GOPe won't budge on immigration/healthcare because of their special interest slush funds.

The do nothings all need voted out. Including turtle, McCarthy, and Graham. Graham is a head fake and don't let McCarthy fool ya he is a Cantor. II know it is easier to prop up turtle and Graham as 'appearing' as if they are on Trump's side; but mark my words and diss me later if I am wrong---but they are not.
