.....I was raised in Boston which is a bastion of
Liberalism ...growing up I never knew anyone who was
not a Democrat ...I was a registered Democrat until
Vietnam and LBJ ...
.....I became a Republican with Reagan because I saw a
sharp distinction between the Partys ...the Democrats
were going Socialist while the Republicans remained
Conservative ...
.....When GW was elected, Republicans had control of
both Houses but Bush immediately began blurring the
distinction between the Parties and many in the GOP
followed his lead ....the term RINO was coined to
describe them ...
.....Now, with the nomination of McCain, I have been
driven out of the GOP the same way LBJ drove me out of
the Democrat Party ...with both the DEMS and the GOP
becoming little more than a choice between Tweedle Dum
and Tweedle Dee ....I have become a man without a
Party ...
.....I am considering a Straight Libertarian vote this
fall as my only option ...the main fault critics find
with the Libertarian Platform is that it guarantees
too much freedom ...for instance, no laws against
victimless crimes ...I can live with that ...I would
rather have "too much" Liberty than not enough
