I Finally Made The Switch (To Republican)
Vanity | Me

Posted on 11/04/2001 2:46:07 PM PST by BreitbartSentMe

Well, after many, many years as a closet Republican (you know, registered Democrat, but mostly voting Republican), I finally made the switch!

I was walking around our annual Street Faire and came across the Republican Women's booth, and filled out the paperwork to switch parties. I was in good company, the woman volunteering at the booth said they had already had over a hundred others switching from Democrat to Republican at her booth today!!!

It's something I've been contemplating for a long time, and I decided that staying registered as a Demon-crat just wasn't worth the small amount of pleasure I got from it (I mainly did it to needle my husband...8^)...)

Now on to my next dilemma .....What to do about my screen name?

I chose it in honor of all those Reagan Democrats. Now what??

Contrary to what you may have heard, the tent's large enough to accommodate you. Welcome aboard, friend.

Is there any way I can alter my screen name, and keep my original "Member Since" date?? I don't want everyone here to think that I'm just another newbie (or potential disruptor), I get enough flack for just being a rookie!

Welcome to the GOP! I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of Bush Democrats created, and it's up to you to spread the word to all your Democrat friends!

However, if she's going to join the "extreme" right wing, their activities start at 9:30 pm on Thursdays involving extreme snacking and beverages.

Way to go Bush Democrat!

Welcome home!

Keep the name, and be proud of it! I think it says a lot.

I've come to realize over the years, that being conservative means that you are more open minded then your so called liberal friends.

When I get into political debates with some of my friends, who are very democratic, they inevitibly resort to name calling. I just smile, knowing the battle's been won!

Keep a smile on your face, and sound logic in your answers, and that will always confound those who wish to put you asunder!

Be of good cheer my friend, you are among friends!

Congratulations!

I was raised in a heavily Democratic family. The strange thing was, that all of our ideals were
conservative Republican in nature. The Democrat leaning was due solely to the belief that Repubs'
were mean and the Demos' cared.

It took me a good part of my young adult life to see the nonsense in that. Getting tired of waiting for
things to "happen for me" I started working hard to make something out of my life. A task I still work
hard at.

But along the road, self dependence led to a conservative Republican way of looking at things.

Now when I head home for the Holidays it seems weird to hear arguments for government dependance.

Wonderful news! Now here's what you gotta do. Click on

this link

and see how long it takes for you to become an official Bush Babe!

Every night at around 6 o'clock Pacific Time there is a thread posted that includes pictures taken from President Bush's daily life. It is called "A Day in the Life of President Bush". Warning though, it's very addictive!

All you have to do each night is do a search on "A Day in the Life" and it will take you to the latest thread. And if you are lucky, Rintense will put you on her ping list!

Go back and register as a Democrat. Vote in their primaries for the lesser DegeneRat. Then vote Republican in the big one.
