[lost-in-nj]

I have a confession......

I am registered as a republican....

I registered 20 years ago...
I am going to re-register as a DEMOCRAT this year.....

PROMISE!!!!!!!!!

I have been brought over from the dark side
just like Bloomberg only I came over A LONG TIME AGO!!!!!!!

1. why did you register as a repub?

i mean i will forgive you

just curious

:hug:

:shrug:


okay, i admit i voted in a reputhug primary once, for Jim Bob Duggar, the guy with 17 kids or whatever, he was running for the senate against Tim Hutchinson. I thought Jim Bob would be a hell of a lot cheaper and easier to beat than an incumbent rethug, but of course Jim Bob didn't even make a dent but Hutchinson lost so that was the only time.

Otherwise I'm pure as the driven snow... :D at least when it comes to voting for dems.

:hi:

3. Registering Repub 20 years ago is not the same as registering Repub today

Very, very different.

7. That was during the Reagan administration...

How is that very, very different?

11. We all make mistakes.

I was 2 at the time, so I didn't know any better then either. :P I'm just curious about what pagerbear said.

14. In many ways, Dubya makes Reagan seem enlightened

which is something the 18-year-old, anti-Contra, anti-nuke, anti-Apartheid demonstrating me imagined I'd never, ever say back in 1987.

These are strange times.

9. hmmmph

having voted for the past 28 years, I can attest to the fact that some things were different. The overriding fact is that the repubs were still the party of cheap labor.

and the dems were the party of the people

not much difference. just beginnings of neocons

5. A friend

I worked with was registering for the repub party...
Her district was all republican...
so I helped her out....


I don't vote in the primary...
only the general elections so I can vote for who I want

2. I pardon you.

And that from someone whose Socialist Workers Party and Democratic Party memberships both are dated the year I turned 18...1970.

13. Hey, I'm a recovering goper.

Growing up in a conservative family I learned that MLK Jr. was an awful commie, that JFK & RFK's assassinations were a good thing for this country. Nixon resigning meant nothing. He was the only one caught, as the mantra of the time was repeated over and over.
I ended up voting for Ronnie, but Iran-Contra really made me start to question what was going on in the party of bankers and CEOs.

No shame in questioning the republics. We need more like you. :)
