On the plus side for these folks you could say it was for heartfelt political beliefs; the cynical side will tell you they switched for purely political reasons. There is a distinction between the two. I think you can get fooled with labels, though. E.G. for decades southern democrats were democrats in name only; their affiliation was essentially an ever reverberating knee jerk reaction to Reconstruction. To this day its never been explained logically why in the world these guys ever voted in tandem with the likes of FDR,JFK,LBJ, etc. when their reactionary little hearts cried out to do the opposite. e.g.: Shelby, Gramm--these guys were Republicans even when they were Democrats....so no big deal; glad to see them go from their collective social agenda points of view---though from time to time I like what the Walrus has to say on pocket book issues.
