It's embarrassing, but I've had democrats in my family. Some are parasitic socialists, and I despise them, but some see the party label as the best path to office and use that to promote responsible and limited government once in office. Not all democrats are evil thugs, like Obama, who use power to bully Christians and patriots, while rewarding their big donors with our tax dollars.
As an example take the "pro 2nd Amendment" Democrat legislators who even get great NRA rating based on their voting record in support of the 2nd Amendment.
When gun rights are threatened as much by the courts as the legislatures, how is support for Democrats - who never fail to appoint anti-gun judges - anything more than merely token support of gun rights.
Today voting Democrat or running as a Democrat is supporting every evil position Democrats advance on the issues - no matter what the voter or candidates says are their own views on those issues.
ALL DIMocRATs are “evil thugs”...or worse.
