"people in your own party"LOL... Christopher, you are a moderator here, and you don't know that I have voted for Dems, Rep's, AND Ind... I am a consertative, and Bush was MUCH better choice than Gore OR Kerry... during the same election last year, I also voted for a DEM candidate who aligned with my position of LESS GOVERNMENT as opposed to more...
What may be confusing you is that I am defending the opposite of Obama, which you ASSUME is only republican... If the Rep party goes back to their conservatve princples, I will gravitate back to them as a party on the national level...
There's a little button at the top of the page called "search", and you can use it look up what the actual users say...
LOL...
