"BSB sometimes I agree with you and this is one of those times!"
If you should find yourself agreeing with me more and more that would mean you're becoming enlightened.
In all seriousness, remember I was a Republican until very recently. I left the party because the party changed. It's no longer representative of what the GOP stood for when I was growing up. Just for starters is the anti-abortion plank of their platform. You can't be a real Republican and support the government telling the women in your life whether they can have an abortion or not. It's none of the governments damn business. That said, I'm sill very much a fiscal conservative in many ways. I just could no longer sanction the social and religious trends the party adopted since Reagan. I'm for directly helping the poor, not just praying for them.
BTW, I don't mean to turn this thread into another discussion on abortion. Please no.
