I consider myself a social conservative, forced by the Republican party to vote Democrat year after year after year. Life as a Mormon Democrat isn't easy, but we are about 1/6 of the membership. We are not at all united behind Romney.
Last night, I had the most enlightening conversation at church. A lady from another congregation said that she was a conservative Republican, and this makes 2 presidential elections that she had no one to vote for. I told her that I was on the other side of the aisle and she said, with surprise, "You're Democrat? What kind? Liberal, bluenose, what?" I said that I was a conservative Democrat who has been disillusioned with the Republicans since Reagan and his trickle-down theory.
Her response got me. "You mean Reaganomics - where the money trickles down, but never actually happens and you are left with the haves, the have-mores, and the have-nothings?" It seems that not everyone is buying the BS (excuse me, ES) that the Elephants shovel out to their base.
Knowing from an earlier conversation that she had young boys, I told her that understanding trickle-down economics is easy. "Have you ever cleaned the outside of a toilet? The poor get trickled on."
