My name is Gaby (short for Gabrielle). I'm from New York. Here is how I became a conservative Republican:

Back in 2003 (around spring), I started watching "The O'Reilly Factor" with my mom. I liked O'Reilly because I thought he was funny and made politics more interesting. Then, fast forward to the fall of 2004. My dad told me about a woman who had a book titled "How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)." I knew I just had to get that book, so I went to the bookstore and they didn't have anymore. So I went to library and found that the book was taken out. I looked at the other Ann Coulter books, and not knowing what the heck "Treason" was about (never heard of McCarthy), I picked "Slander" and read it while on vacation in Cancun, Mexico. I found it to be the funniest book I'd ever read - especially the Al Gore parts about him being an "intellectual colossus." I proceeded to read her other books - I got such great information from "Treason" - and realized that I loved politics. And Ann Coulter - like O'Reilly in the beginning - made it extremely interesting and entertaining.
