I have a real problem with candidates who are life-long whatever and suddenly change their party affiliation.

Webb is one example, and the woman running against Jim Ryun-the runner- in Kansas is another.

I feel that either you were not a very good supporter of your former party and didn't really understand the planks of the party platform or else you are very easily swayed into ANY position and therefore are not to be trusted in any party nor in any position of power.

Is it just me? Being too paranoid?
It just plain bothers me, and I cannot support such candidates.

Ronald Reagan was once a Democrat. He said something to the effect, "I didn't leave my party, it left me." And, he switched.

Ronald Reagan is a fine example of a life-long Democrat who turned Republican. I'm sure glad he made the change. He used to say something like, "I didn't leave the Democrat party. The party left me."

Nancy Boyda. I dislike her so much that I did something I've never done before. I voted for every Republican on the ballot even those running unopposed. Normally, I vote straight Republican but I never vote for unopposed candidates. Had to do something to vent and show my disgust no matter how small the action might be.
