I’m sorry if you misread my post, but thank you for taking the time to reply.
I didn’t misread or mis understand your post. If you knew your recent (i.e. modern) history you would know that the great majority of the folks leaving one party and joining the other has been from dens to repubs....the only GOP that have gone the other way (for forty or so years) have been folks like Charlie Christ. Many former dems have gone with the repubs (Southern and other wise) because just like Artur Davis and Ronald Reagan they found that their believes and values were consistent with the republican party. This is what the history shows. The dems have aways tried to steal anything that they think will help them out. The Great Society bills were passed with the help of repubs (unfortunately) and the left stole it.
