#2 All the Rs were at GOTV parties. All the Ds were watching OBL reruns looking for instructions.

#4 I just had the great satisfaction of reaming out a Dem GOTV telephone caller, letting her know exactly and at great length why I will vote straight Republican this year.

Any party that nominates John Kerry to be President deserves to lose and lose big.

#5 Oh, yeah - also gave her a piece of my mind over Gore's challenge in FL and its effects on the country.

What I didn't tell her is that if Kerry challenges this one, I'm switching parties officially. I've had it!

#6 "What I didn't tell her is that if Kerry challenges this one, I'm switching parties officially. I've had it!"

I reached that point back in early 2003. I'm now a Republican, after 31 years as a Democrat. And just like you, Gores shenanigans in Florida in 2000 were a major factor for me. It ain't our parents' Party anymore, is it?

#7 No, and I've given up waiting for many in my Boomer generation to grow up and take on adult responsibility.

#8 I grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, where there are no Republicans. My father was an elected official for 25 years. He's also the classic Zell Miller Democrat: strong on defense, opposed to social engineering, pro-life.

Nevertheless, I am the black sheep of the family because, being the good conservative my father raised me to be, I'm registered with the only major party that welcomes me.

#9 The Democratic Party left me a long time ago. THey have no room for a pro-life, string defense, social compassionate person any more. Toe the leftist party line or leave the party is what they tell people like me anymore.

Republicans are where my views are, and they are more likely to listen to and act on my pleas for compassion for the poor, than the Dems are to listen to my (much less act on) pleas for compassion for the unborn.

The Democratic party has become the party of the intolerant and inflexible.

And thats why I left it - because they left me.
