I have NEVER met a person who grew up a Conservative, then switched to the Democrat Party AFTER COLLEGE!

My mother did. Well into her teaching career, she got involved in the NEA/teachers' union politics and became a hardcore democrat. It's a source of consternation to me, and I try to avoid discussing anything political with her. It's useless.

But in general I think your premise is true - it's a rare person who switches from light to darkness.

"I try not to discuss anything political with her because it is useless". I have found out the same thing; A Democrat has a shell over them like a turtle, the truth cannot penetrate because they won't let it. This has to be the "unforgivable sin" mentioned in the Bible which is "A closed mind that cannot recieve the truth to free itself".
