I too thought I was a young Democrat at one time but while driving, my almost 1 hour trip to and from work, I began listening to WZYP talk radio in Huntsville, Alabama to pass the time. One of the early talk radio DJ’s there was none other than Sean Hannity. I began to hear the issues for the first time in my political life and I started to realize that my core beliefs and values were not of those of the Democrat party. In fact I found that all my beliefs were those of the conservative right. Today I could not be further to the right. I am a constitutional conservative and I was born that way. I just didn’t know which party stood for what until that time.

You and I have the exact same experience, when it comes to political enlightenment. I was a disillusioned 'Democrat' from Carter's time, forward, never even bothering to vote in most national elections.
I credit Bill Clinton with pissing me off so badly, that I finally made the effort to see what 'the other guys' were all about. I soon began to listen to Rush and others, and visit conservative websites. It didn't take long for me to realize that I'd been siding with the wrong team my entire life, and that was why I'd been so disillusioned for so long.
