And?......My DIL was a dem until she married my son. It took him pointing out that although she may have called herself a democrat, all her values and thinking were republican.

That, and when he ran for our state's vice chair of Young Republican's this year, she backed him and reregistered.

Do you really think Mrs. Cain won't vote for her husband? Your 'gotcha' has no there, there.

I have friends who claim they are dems, but their belief system (pro-life, small govt, etcetc) is what we call Conservative these days.

I think that a lot of these folks had parents who were staunch union members, it is like a cancer that never leaves you but doesn’t kill you.

I’ve heard it said that Kennedy (JFK) would have been a Republican in today’s parlance.

The Dem party has left behind a whole lot of folks who didn’t see the train leaving the station, so they still think the dem party they joined is the dem party of today.

It would still kill most of them to vote for a Republican. Something in their genes, I guess. It must be very confusing, being a Democrat these days.
