Political Persuasion- how did you get there?

Not Afraid · 11-09-2006, 10:12 AM

The ONLY reason I am registered currently as a Dem is so I can vote against Republicans. I have no love for the Dems either, but they are better than the current state of the Republicas.

When I became of voting age, I voted Republican. The Dems were just way too liberal for me. That was 26 years ago. In that time, the Republican party has moved so far to the right (thanks to religion) that I want nothing to do with them. Meanwhile, the Dems have become a centrist party. That's why I have to laugh when the work "liberal" gets tossed around here. Dems aren't liberral in 2006.
