I was actually a die-hard liberal supporter until I was about 17. I remember supporting Dukakis in '88 because I thought that his eyebrows were cool. Keep in mind that I was only 9 then.
4 years later, I was way into Clinton, despite what my parents had told me about him. I even played Clinton in the middle school mock debate. I also went to the polling place on election day with a sign supporting Clinton and Barbara Mikulski.
Then I think one day it just clicked and I did some research and discovered that all of my politics were conservative. I didn't even know that Clinton was anti-abortion, pro-taxes, etc. So I guess in reality I was a conservative all along, I was just too dumb to know it.
My fault, that should say that I didn't even know that Clinton was pro-abortion. See, I still don't know what I'm doing, 8 years later.
