FWIW, I’m a Dem. I just don’t vote that way. And I’m not alone. Might wanna scale back that blanket condemnation just a bit :-)

[Ann Archy]

Why the HELL are you a Dem??

[RC one]

You pretty much are what you vote for IMO.

[faucetman]

I didn’t see where anyone condemned a “blanket” /s. I love blankets.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Yet...are you a Truman/JFKennedy DEM or more of an LBJ DEM?

“FWIW, I’m a Dem. I just don’t vote that way.”

How does that work? I’m truly curious, not being hostile.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I believe “All leftists lie”, or “All liberals lie” would be a true and defensible statement.

I understand that a person can be a democrat and still be conservative in their beliefs - but there will still be a certain amount of ‘guilt by association’ as it becomes harder and harder to distinguish a democrat from the base.

The perception is that to be a democrat is to be a liberal.

To admit it on FreeRepublic is rather brave.

I wouldn't. You are not a democrat in today's world or you would not be a FReeper. Perhaps a former dem is what you mean in which you are no longer a democrat.

FWIW, I'm a FORMER Republican.

I want no association whatsoever with the GOPe. Lyin' Ryan turns my stomach. So does the turtle.

I despise a party that forced McCain and Romney down my throat.

I regret every penny I ever contributed to the national party.

I especially despise the entire Bush family. The way they have treated the first President willing to fight for the things I believe in since Reagan is disgraceful. They have shown their true colors. After the first Bush betrayed Reagan I should have known.

I'm a Christian, a patriot, and a conservative. Maybe someday the Republican party will be too. But until that day, I am NOT a Republican.

.

As a final shot, fully intended as an insult, it was actually kinda funny watching the GOPe try to force the clown Jeb! down our throat.

[ConservativeMind]

And I’m a woman, but I just don’t look or act that way.

[unlearner]

“I’m a Dem. I just don’t vote that way. “

Then in what sense are you a “Dem”?

Do you contribute to the Democrat Party?

I can’t understand how any member of this forum would identify as a Dem.

I certainly can understand NOT identifying as a Republican. Personally, I’m a former Republican, conservative independent.
