I first registered to vote as a Democrat.

And then, like Ronaldus Magnus, I discovered that "I hadn't left the Democratic Party--the Party left me".

My moment of awakening was when the DNC muzzled PA Governor Robert Casey, Sr., who was poised to present a pro-life message to the national convention.

The Democrat Party is proof that even gangsters and street thugs need a political party.

KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov's warning to America

The Radical Left is so close to having absolute power they can taste it.

JFK would be a radical right winger by today’s political standards.

"Republicans just cowered, wanting to be liked by the people beating them."

Yup, that about sums it up..

The one democrat I could see myself voting for in history is Harry Truman. He at least cared enough about the troops to drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And if he hadn’t done that, I might not be here today.

Growing up, I knew a few Conservative Democrats. One was Ella Grasso (The first women’s governor elected in her own right), William O Neil (not Tip, but a state legislator), my state senator (who fought against the income tax), but not anymore.

I actually voted for a dem senator from our state. He was the blue dog variety and far from a commie like most are today. He exited politics when forced to vote for obama care, which shows he had some level of integrity far above today’s radical rats.

My father-in-law was a die hard democrat. He was a coal miner and the dem party protected their interests.

When I was a kid the dem party was generally for the working stiff and farmer while the repubs were for business interests.

That’s all changed. The rats now hate coal and farmers. The rats are pure un-American. They have indeed been taken over by the fringe. The fringe is now the party.

My parents were Democrats. They called themselves Kennedy Democrats. What I fear most about today’s Kennedy Democrats is they are referring to Teddy and not John.

The Republican party of today are Kennedy Democrats. Also, I fear many of them are Teddy and not John Kennedy Democrats.

My Dad considered himself a democrat, because of FDR getting people back to work and out of the Great Depression. But as a business owner, he railed against taxes, government agencies coming in and telling him how to run his business. On a non-business level, he was pro life, anti gun control- he and Mom were really pretty conservative. I tried to tell him that he wasn’t a democrat, but s conservative, and he pretty much told me I was full of s—-.
He couldn’t see the change that was going on around him. Plus he took everything the mainstream media said as gospel.

The first time I could ever vote for president was in 1980. I actually voted for Jimmy Carter, because back then, I thought I was a Democrat (young skull filled with mush, as Rush would say).

On election night in 1980, I listened to Ronald Reagan's victory speech, and decided in my mind he deserved a chance. Been voting R ever since.

Senator Proxmire(D) from Wisconsin cared about out of control spending back when Reagan was on Death Valley Days.

Independents are the deciding factor in all national elections. Partisan Dems love what their compadres are doing in using the courts in NY and elsewhere to wage war. Republicans hate it. Overreach is when Independents peel off and begin identifying more with the object of the abuse than with the abuser. This last outrageous NYC decision may turn that particular Independent worm.
