Voted for John Anderson in 1980 because I was young and stupid and bought all the media crap about Reagan bringing about WWIII. Not too long into Reagan's term I started hearing things that made sense. Forunately I was critically listening by then, and sorting the truth from the liberal chaff. Voted for Reagan in 1984, Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush. I seem to have learned my lesson.
Started lurking here right around Monica after being directed here by a link from Townhall (I think). Was in and out, but didn't register until things started heating up with Iraq in 2002.
