So it seems that you are a party switcher too. Since you've switched parties in your lifetime, I'm surprised you give me such a hard time for having switched from GOP to Dem recently! You act as if you don't believe it is true, when you yourself have done it. That seems odd to me. I first voted in the '72 election. Don't ask. I have no opposition to someone changing political views. As you say, I did it. But becoming more aware is normally something you do with age, or at least I think it is. I was in my 20s and realized just by living, that you can't spend money wildly and at the same time have wealth. Neither can a country. You can't walk in a car dealership and play softball without feeling like you were screwed when you leave. And a country can't sit at the negotiating table with another country and give away the store without it doing some damage. At foreign policy, you don't send an amateur. You send Jim Baker, and he calls Aziz out into the hall and tells him -- you use f*cking chem/bio on us and we'll throw EVERYTHING in the arsenal at your ass. This president goes to our enemies, or prospective enemies, and says, "We'll give up our arsenal, and you don't have to give up a damned thing". Most importantly, you usually become a better judge of character as you age. I knew this fool was weak from the outset. I BELIEVED the American People were smart enough not to have been fooled, but I didn't count on him going after the kiddie vote. Today, I am more uncommitted to any party as I've been in my life. I certainly will not vote for any democrat, no matter what. Which may force me to vote for Rs I don't like. The Tea Party has more appeal for me than anything out there but I don't think there are going to be many Tea Party candidates on the ballot.
