Despicable tactic
Did Hillary Clinton work for Goldwater?
"..Hillary Clinton ("Living History," page 21): I was also an active Young Republican and, later, a Goldwater girl, right down to my cowgirl outfit and straw cowboy hat emblazoned with the slogan "AuH20." ... I liked Senator Goldwater because he was a rugged individualist who swam against the political tide...."
Who cares?
I, too was once a registered Democrat. Jimmy Carter quickly cured me of that.
Truly conservative Dems still existed in the ‘80s. I do have some reservations about Angle, but I think you’re pissing in the wind on this thread...this is NOT what will cause her problems.

Ronald Reagan was once a registered democrat.
Amen, I voted for Hubert Humphrey~we all grow up, or at least some of us!
I was once a registered Democrat, too. I campaigned for Jimmy Carter, proudly pulled the lever for him as my first presidential vote, and delivered precinct ballots to the Waco courthouse after voting ended.
I got better.
A Conservative Democrat is an oxymoronIt is now.
In the 80's (the time period we're discussing here) when they elected Reagan in 2 landslides, they were called Southern Democrats...It was in all the papers.
I worked at Reagan’s headquarters when he first ran for Gov.
Have followed politics and world affairs since the late 1950s
On drugs?
The American Independant party was the only conservative party in the country in the early ‘90s.
“I even voted for a Democrat once for School Superintendant.”
You should have known better than that; most educators are flaming liberals trying to indoctrinate our kids.
Seriously, most people above the age of 50 who are conservatives have voted for a Democrat at one time or another. I was a strong supporter of John Connally when he ran for Gov. of Texas over Smilin’ Ralph Yarborough and the GOP candidate Jack Cox. Of course, that was when there were some legitimate Demo conservatives in TX.
That attack dog won’t hunt!
“Reid’s got a lot of little helpers here.”
.
Apparently, and some of them surprise me a bit.

She’s got a long way to go to catch up with Obama in the unraveling department.
Go ahead and dig away!!
Turncoat!
Hummm, so?
So was I. At first, I had lots of fun infiltrating local Rat assemblies and functions. Then I was too lazy to change it. But finally the ignominy of being a registered Rat was to great to stomach and I filled out the form to change from a dirty Rat to a gleaming Pub. Have felt better about myself every since.
I think I must have been a DINO.... non-active, unregistered, and a long time ago. I believe “transformed liberals” have some extra insight into the hypocrisies of the democrat party. As the saying goes, “A conservative is a liberal who realizes he’s been mugged.”
“Wow, it’s been a week ans she’s starting to unravel. Fast than I would have thought. A lousy candidate.”
