I agree with you;

And I want to add that in Barry Goldwater's auto-biography he said that he split his vote in every election his whole life between republican and democrat. He actually prided himself in this. He looked for Democrats to vote for. He said honesty was the most important thing; Of course, the democrats did demonstrate a nearly 100% tendency to be dishonest while clinton was pres. Traficant was a bit different, that's why he's in jail.

I kind of go along with george washington who said in his farewell address that the spirit of party is evil. That was Washington's response to what he was seeing at the time where people were dividing themselves up into factions and pretending the other faction was evil.

Ronald Reagan consciously tried to reach out to democrats. He was successful at it too. If he'd believed that the democrats were evil by definition, then he wouldn't have succeeded at that.

I'm also heavily influenced that I've seen the republicans do some very awful things. If the republicans want the conservative vote, then they know how to get it. They don't want it.
