The Republican party has driven me away...permanantly.
The Republican party has driven me nuts. I've always been middle-of-the-road, leaning a bit more to the right. Definitely not a hard-right fascist or a pinko liberal :) In fact, I've always prided myself in being able to see both sides of an argument. But the Republican party of today repulses me. I find myself disagreeing with just about everything they stand for.
Let's see....
I'm pro-stem cell research. Republicans adamantly against.
I'm not into the anti-gay movement. Republicans want it banned.
I'm 100% ANTI-WAR IN IRAQ. (My son will soon be there for his second tour, I have a right to be against it)
I can't stand Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity, and Ann Coulter, the three "spokesmen" of the Republican party these days. Ugh.
The president just might go down as the biggest boob ever to serve in the job.
I guess when my son called and told me he was being redeployed - after only being home for 12 months - that did it for me. I can't ever see myself voting for a Republican again. I'm disappointed in the Democrats wimping out and not cutting off funding for the war. But I've seen enough of old Bushie to know that he is NEVER going to pull our guys out of there.
So if there is room in the Democrat party...please kindly scoot over a bit and let me in. I can't wait until 2008.
