So what? In my observation, her ideological stances were pretty conservative to begin with. If she feels more at home in the Republican party, I think it makes sense for her to switch.
I would rather have her go 3rd party than muck up the Republican party with her moderate stance.
Just did I write that allows you to conclude she's a moderate? And, you don't get to choose who to admit to the party, fortunately for her.

Democrat=Pro-choice, especially in CA. I might have misunderstood your sentence, but I sure as hell am not at fault. You did not specify her beliefs, exactly, so I took leave with my assumption given her life long membership to the Democrat party.
Next time someone posts tongue-in-cheek (aka semi-serious), maybe you shouldn't attack so quickly.

Once again, it's an assumption based on your written description of her life long membership to the Democrat party. Oh, I forgot to mention her many toils for Democrat candidates.
And NO, I'm not oblivious to Conservative Democrats. Although given the evidence you provided, her party line would be moderate and not Conservative.
