Do We Have Any Former Republicans Here On USMB?

[BluesLegend]

Former Democrat who became a Conservative after Democrats confiscated every raise I earned for several years in a row. Dem's are for the poor and working class, riiiiiiiiight

What years would those be? Don't lie, now. I know it's tempting.

It no longer matters, I escaped the Dem party plantation now I'm in the 3%. I credit Rush Limbaugh for showing me the light.

If so, what's your story?

Is it anything like this guy who was forced to leave the party he's been a part of since 1979 due to the fact that it's gone completely off the deep end?



What's your story?

Former Democrat who did a 180 and became a Republican, now former Republican who knows both parties are full of shit.

It is really hard if not impossible to deny that both parties suck.

Of course but one party provides jobs and a low cost of living (hope) the other provides unemployment and welfare (no hope)

I was raised in a Republican Family. Voted for Reagan and Bush 41 twice. Believed in Jack Kemp and supported Nelson Rockefeller and Jacob Javits. admired Barry Goldwater

By the Mid 90s, Republicans were the party of Newt Gingrich, Jesse Helms and Strom Thurman. I did not like the idea that these were the guys representing my party. The partisan impeachment over a blowjob and blatant policy making for the rich turned me off

Been voting Democratic since

Now that's funny.

I didn't like the stupidity around impeachment.

I didn't like the swiftboating of John Kerry.

I didn't like a lot of things.

But I have faith in some basic principles.

I don't change parties when I get pissed.

I try to change the party.

Now's the time to share that journey bruh.

I'm curious.

Child of the 60s/70s, was a democratic socialist before it was cool. Began to moderate in college then ended up in No Virginia, D.C. where I became involved in national politics. Didn't take me long to see the lies, bull shit and hypocrisy which pushed me further right. Eventually took a years worth of business classes, started a business and became born again throwing me into the religious right category, sorta. After a few years working on the inside of the national RNC I saw the same crap the I witnessed in the DNC, besides my academic background finally overcame my emotive partisanship and I moderated completely to the point that I've basically become a political agnostic.

Good story.

Being a Christian and being a Republican is like trying to mix oil and water.

Highly partisan response but not unexpected.

Not partisan at all.
Republicans believe it's OK to separate children from their parents at the border and put them in cages.
Christians would not abide by that for single ******* moment.

I'm thinking there could be more former Dems than former Repubs out there. From what I've read, there's a lot of disillusionment among young voters, minorities, the white working class, and even some women who were turned off by the Kavanaugh shenanigans and all the screaming and shouting going on during that process. A lot of Americans don't want any part of that.

You know I can’t quite reconcile that because they voted in a president who mocks, insults, berates and attacks daily and it is defended as being non-pc and authentic.

What part of the unemployment being nearly 10% when Obama took office to coming down to 4.7% in 2016 did you Trumpanzees miss?

You idiots just believe anything he says and never check the facts!

As a former Republican, I rallied around the Republican President after 9-11

I was willing to support anything he needed.....Patriot Act, Homeland Security, restrictions of rights
When Bush wanted to invade Afghanistan, I backed him
He chased Al Qaeda across Afganistan......then quit

Bush started talking about the threat of Saddam, WMDs, Iraq being part of 9-11 and I started saying.......WTF???

Then he invaded Iraq, we found out he lied about WMDs
Then he engaged in torture, opened GITMO, denied basic human rights
Republicans applauded him

I remembered why I was no longer Republican

I left thanks to Bush. I believe in being fiscally responsible. Clinton handed Bush a balance budget and he destroyed it. Now that republicans completely control the government deficits are increasing rapidly during a strong economy. They have no more excuses. I'm very happy with my decision.

Yep.
When Bush stood up and admitted Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11 I was done with the Republicans and their everlasting need for wars.
Their sheer willingness to send young people overseas to be killed and mangled for their bottom line profit.
Dick Cheney should be hung from the neck until dead.
Bush did a great job of selling the Iraq war, no doubt.
But many saw very quickly that it was just his vanity. "They tried to kill my daddy!"

First let me look down on you in a patronizing fashion, then give you a pat . Rush exposes the coordinated drive by media collusion with the Dem party, their hypocrisy and flip flops. Naturally they hate his guts.
