Did not Tom say something like "the Republican party changed not me "
Tom McCall is attributed to saying, as well as Ronald Reagan I might add, "I never left the party, the party left me". Regardless, look at the legacy he left us that is still in-place to this day.
Libertarian/Tea Partyer, Michelle Bachmann is one who has used your quote, for sure.
