Right. Therefore...The Democratic Party is not the same party now that it was back then. Being a Democrat today does not mean you side with the KKK because the party had different values 200 years ago.

People resort to labels when they don't understand ideals.

I used to lean towards the Republican side. In fact, when I first registered as a voter, I registered as a Republican. Growing up in conservative Montana, with family who all leaned that way, I suppose it was almost inevitable to start with. For most Senate, House, and state level candidates I tended to vote Republican. Ironically, the only time I voted Republican for the Pres was when Dubya got elected the first time. At the time, I figured he was the lesser of two evils.

As time has passed I've started migrating towards the middle, and have been listed as an Independent for over a decade. Mainly because I've disagreed with some of the core Republican beliefs. I wouldn't go so far as to clasify myself as a conservative Democrat, but I wouldn't call me a liberal Republican either. One of the key things about Pubbies that I still believe in is a non-intrusive national government, letting the States largely govern themselves.

So no, I'm not a Dem, but I did vote that route this time.

Yeah, no.

I'm not affronted. George is one good lookin' dude.

I saw results, and I guess I was doing a pretty good job of whatever I was doing a three AM because ppl rated me up. Then I got called a troll because I was trying to find out more about why vote dem. See my ratings now, a few are decent, a few are default, and one is subbed.

I did this because my whole life I've been brainwashed by my dad to be a repub. I only see the right side of everything. I couldn't even watch anything in the house unless it's ran by the right. I couldn't use the internet cuz "THE INTARNET IS RAN BY LIBERALS." Or so my father said.

So, in the first election I could vote in, and out of my father's house, I did as much research by myself as possible. Then I made my own opinions, but research can only take it so far.

Thus, I wanted to see the human side of the left. I wanted to see why the left thought like they did. But, you know somebody ask a legit question and they aren't already in the CJ of everyone established in The Asylum, they get rated down for saying anything. This forum is basically Facism.

And I know why you rate down AmorTonight, he's a freaking moron. And sometimes I understand why you rate me down, but not this time.

Ok, so that *is* George.

Day-um!

This started as something that seemed like it could avoid the flames of the closed-minded. Hey aren't liberals supposed to be the open-minded ones? But half of you are closed to my open-mindedness. But whatever, the "Your an IDIOT, cuz you vote on moral issues," mentality is laughable.

Secondly, I agree with Obama on his social ideas however not his moral ideas. With McCain I'm with his morals but half and half on the social.

And just because I'm a repub doesn't mean I can't understand a freakin tax plan so turtle and everyone else who went from a disscusion to a flame war,

I would rather be shot in the face then ever try to hold a conversation with you because it would be like talking to the biggest brick wall ever. and it just so happens this brick wall has a hey fuck off mentality. So, how about you fuck off?

You're getting increasingly more surly. It makes my day.

Terrorist sympathizer.

I imagine the suggestion that the OP is incapable of thinking thoughts that originate from someplace other than Daddy stings you in particular, eh Varus?
