Would you care to share with us the story of what brought about your change of heart?
I've discarded generations of my families southern democratic heritage. It took me a year and a half to come to the conclusion to do it, but i did. For that year and a half all i heard from my party was unbridled hatred..hatred, for a sitting President. We were moderate democrats, my husband and I, but we were no longer welcomed in the democratic party...we weren't left-leaning enough for them. They threw us out, into the waiting arms of the republicans. Our politics and theirs were no longer compatable. It's as though we were awakened from a 32 year dream and started thinking for ourselves, instead of the party telling us what to think and how to vote. The last straw was when Ted Kennedy said that the Iraq war was devised at the Presidents Crawford ranch, Kennedy speaks for Kerry. They are both of the same mind-set. When they both refused to apologise for the comment, the line was severed between me and the democratic party. You must remember one thing about Democrats..DEFLECT..that is what keeps them alive. Their ability to deflect the issue till it passes.
