    My Change of Heart

    From 1960 to 1992 I voted Republican - always. Except sometimes in Boston and then Providence there might not have been a Republican candidate, so I voted for the Dem.

    In 1992, I moved to a suburb east of Kansas City and saw for the first time what the Religious Right had done to the GOP and from that time on I have voted for Democrats. My point is that I know both sides and I feel I have legitimate reasons for voting as a Liberal.

    What has gone is any hope of a meeting of the 2 sides. Even now when Republians know how their constituents feel about the war, they will not go against Bush. Hopefully their supporters will turn them out of office, but I don't see that happening.

    It seems as though the worst thing you can do is to agree with someone from the other party.
