For you California Freepers, what gives with this guy? Is he losing his mind? He's claiming he left the party because he doesn't like the GOP's position on lower taxes - meaning he thinks taxes should be higher.
.....and nothing of value was lost.
Maybe he’s been inspired by the Christian Socialists of Europe. There are many, unfortunately, that view Christianity as an ideological catalyst for socialism/communism.
If they don’t want me, they can find ways of purging me.
How?
I don’t know how the Democrats purge people. We’ll see how tolerant they really are.
Oh good grief!
He must be a complete idiot if can't recognize how intolerant Democrats really are.
Chaff from the wheat as far as I'm concerned.
I have to wonder how he became a “multimillionaire.” The boy doesn’t seem very bright to me.
Not a big deal. He just sold his soul to the devil. Just another victim of “liberal white guilt” that affects other rich, white DEms in Mexifornia.
Don't know him, and I didn't read the article.
However -- if this fellow is claiming that he is a Christian, and he joined the Democrat party because he disagrees with the GOP's position on lower taxes -- he's either a fraud, or very confused.
A Christian could support higher taxes and bigger government (I think they'd be wrong - and that they were setting up government as man's 'god' -- but I could agree to disagree on this point), but there is no way he could support a political party that supports homosexuality, pornography, abortion, racial and class warfare, and the other horsemen of the apocalypse that run in the Demonrat party...
I can understand his frustration with the GOP spending money like drunken sailors but going to the Dems will not stop that at all.
She's gone to the dark side...like Huffington did long ago.
Maybe the old man has just gone whack?
Maybe the guy got a midnight visit?
Maybe he's a senile old man?
I dunno...but none of it makes any sense...............
Evangelical Christian is a loose term used mostly
to identify the enemies of liberalim. Ahmanson
may be a philanthropist with the money he INHERITED,
but a man’s actions speak louder. I have a real
problem with anyone claiming to know Jesus Christ
through His Word who embraces the Democratic Party.
And if you read the comments, even the Independents and Democrats are confused by his “switch”. Now if Meghan McCain will just make the switch.... she liked Jindal, too. Is there something about Jindal that causes liberals and moderates to like him so much?
No great loss. Man sounds like a total idiot.
Democrats get to go to the front of the line for stimulus grants.
Just my guess.
All I can say is “huh?” This guy doesn’t make sense. He doesn’t clearly lay out why he switched parties, other than a mild distaste of some of the things that some Republicans did and a dislike of being seen as an independent coward (FWIW, I left the GOP in 2004 and have considered my self an independent ever since).
This is like half an interview. It’s as if he’s discussing why he switched to sleeping on the other side of the bed or something. And even after switching he endorses a Republican for President!
Is he just a provocateur or self-promoter or what?
“away from the Republicans? It wasn’t Sarah Palin”
They just HAD to add Sarah in somehow. I can’t stand it how they have to use every opportunity to flame Sarah. They REALLY don’t want her running in 2012, do they?
Well, they’d better get used to it, because Sarah’s not going anywhere, she’s running in 2012 and she’s gonna WIN!!!!
He lives in Orange County, California. He has been married to journalist Roberta Green Ahmanson since 1986. He is somewhat reclusive and has Tourette syndrome;[1] his wife usually communicates with the media and others on his behalf.

Whatever he’s registered as, I hope he still funds the next prop 8 battle.
