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!!!

I was in good company, ...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!
What's the problem?
As I recall, Mr. Robinson also (officially) switched party affiliation within the last year.

I gave up on my dem wife.

Funny thing happens...the voters that reciently switch many times become the best Pubbies. They have their heads screwed on right and look both ways before deciding to cross the street.
Welcome!!!

"Now when I head home for the Holidays it seems weird to hear arguments for government dependance". It must seem weird to hear it too, sometimes, hunh?

Actually, I was asking about changing my screen name. If I just sign up for a new one, it will have todays date as the membership date. Then, the next time I said something silly or stupid on here, someone will inevitably post the fact that 'you just signed up here, must be a disruptor, etc..) I get enough flack as it is....

I like your screen name just as it is. And I loved your story...sometimes the timing is just right. Welcome to a party that has lots of problems (trent lott for one, john mccain for another, just to name a couple) but that firmly believes in individual responsibility, less government, and the rule of law as stated in our constitution. With my heart, I welcome you home.

Welcome! The country needs more people like you!

Welcome aboard!!!!
My folks grew up in coal mining families in Western PA where pictures of FDR were hung right next to pictures of Jesus. Both of them left the mining/ union culture, dad in law enforcement, and mom in an architect's office. Life outside of the unions, coupled with Reagan's pro-like outlook was all it took. We are now a proudly Republican family!

Are you saying that the women at the Republican booth made an honest man out of you?!!!!!!!!
How DOES it feel? Welcome!
To: Bush_Democrat
When I first moved to this little southern city in Arkansas, the first thing I did was register to vote. I checked republican in the space provided.
The clerk looked at me with a frown and said "Ya know that if you persist in registering as a republican you won't be able to vote in most of the elections." I said "How so?"
She then went on to explain that there were few republicans in the area and that the local offices were all democrat controlled. I told her I would take my chances and did not mind not voting for local sheriff and such.
Well, that was 11 years ago. Since that time the republican party has grown by leaps and bounds. Thanks in large part to Klintoon. We now have a great Republican governor and many democrats have switched to the republican party or now call themselves "independents".
Welcome to the party!

To hear it here, too.
To: Bush_Democrat
Welcome aboard. Now you have a President that you can be proud of and when he gets a tear in his eyes, it's real. Bush is going to be a Great President as in Greatest.

Welcome to the Right side and always keep a can of this handy
