Are there REALLY any fiscal and social liberals that AREN'T ideologues through and through? I mean, can a die hard lib really be reasoned with now a days? Seems like it's easier to get a 20 years crack addict clean than bring a liberal in the light. When were you a lib? I can't imagine you were as far left as the typical liberal now a days, and even if you were, you were obviously still rational and able to consider facts and evidence, even if they proved a reality opposite of what you previously held true. Most liberals aren't like that now a days. I think when you were a liberal you were the exception, not the rule. :) But it is nice to know that you came to the light side! :) Goodie. ;)
Heard a woman (who fortunately doesn't vote) say that "we've gotta get rid of the Republicans or we won't have a country."
Well, in my case you couldn't get much die-harder than me. But my prob was that I was getting all my info from the same few sources. If it hadn't been for the internet, my epiphany might have taken a lot longer. I know lots of folks whose views have changed with more information. If one has an open mind, then additional info can make a difference. And most of the Dems I know who still vote that way aren't ideologues, just information starved.
