"Unlike voters in most other states, Texans don’t sign up with a political party when they register to vote.
That’s because Texas is one of 17 states with open primaries, which means regardless of which party voters identify with, they can choose from year to year which party’s nominees they’d like to select in the primary election."
You probaly won't vote R after you die either.
...
Seriously though, I hear you, but it's not a good attitude to have.
Absolutely do NOT vote R because the D is worse. Look at the candidates individually. Some will move the needle in the right direction and campaign as R's, like Hawley or the 100+ Reps that voted with us. Don't write them out entirly.
If you're looking at a Romney or McCain, you might has well vote for 3rd place.
I've been independent as long as I've lived in CA, don't want a paper trail to my name in case they want to target me. Problem is you get 2x as many calls/mail during elections...
I want to do this, but how do we primary the RINOs if not registered with the party?
Great point, found this online:

Good-bye RINOS!
Change it now, then change it back, at, or right before the primary, if there's a decent candidate running.
How?

MegaUpDoots if you provide links on how to do it in each state.
