Us and Them
Chris, I know a lot of Republicans who have abandoned their party, but the smartest ones did it during the Reagan era, because of the religious crap they were using to sell trickle down BS to the rubes. It's as simple as that. I grew up in a Republican family, but back in the day that did not mean that you trashed the environment, started wars, wasted money, and favored the rich to such an extent that the country literally started to go bankrupt. It also meant you weren't a racist. That was a Southern, or Archie Bunker thing.
It's a little different today.
I wish you weren't so combative; aside from the anti-gay thing you seem to have going, I think we agree on many issues.
And I only defended Clinton because I really did find the policies of his enemies offensive, and although they had lost fair and square, twice, because of their insane belief that they were right anyway, they attempted to derail democracy. Funny they did the same thing only worse, when they did get in power.
You were surprised, I wasn't.
