I'm a Democratic-leaning independent voter that has lurked on the site for some time. Although I don't agree with the viewpoints of many here, I've learned quite a bit from the research necessary to fairly appreciate both sides of the issue. Pretty much the same reason I listen to Hannity and Rush.
I also belong to DailyKos but likewise rarely find myself in lockstep agreement with the left, either, on any issue. I'd be the first one to admit that both sides often have valid points. I just wish politicians would do a better job of acknowledging that, instead of unmercifully demonizing the other side in playing to their constituencies.
Hopefully, questions I ask along the way may enlighten other non-conservatives who occasionally browse FreeRepublic.

I used to be a democRAT, but then I turned 20. What is your excuse?
20? What in the heck took you so long to see the light?

Welcome. I was a left-leaner until I left college, got a job, payed taxes, got married, had a kid, bought a gun and a house. Now I’m a hardcore rightwinger. In the public school system.

On second thought, I don’t like left-wingers, left-leaners, neo-cons, dims, demonRats, RINOs or New Agers.

So far he hasn’t come back.
Probably because he signed up just to state some hot-button buzz words and run back to Kiddieland to giggle about how he ‘showed us’.

LOL, I remember when my nephew got his first real job, and got his pay check. He wanted to know who FICA was and how come he was getting his money.

The handywork of DemUns, and DailyKos players.

The Democrat party of today are about European styled socialism, which has been a disaster.
Democrats believe in giving all things to everyone who can vote for them at another’s expense.
I don’t see on what issues you could want to lean Democrat on.
If you want to say the war, then that IMO would be a great sign of immaturity since we are in a war with terrorist whether we defend ourselves or not.

welcome... be prepared for all manner of people here... some as rabid as du trolls and DK kiddies, but you will find a fair amount of people willing to discuss things openly and sensible manner.
