Why I'm a Democrat now

THOUGHTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT

I voted for George H.W. Bush in 1988, Bob Dole in 1996, and George W Bush in 2000 - All Republicans. NO MORE! I'm a Democrat now. Conservatives used to care about paying down our national debt, supporting our troops, and our European allies against threats from Communism. Today the party of Trump cares little about any of these, instead focusing on abusing little children on our southern border, sucking up to dictators from Russia, North Korea, and Turkey, and dividing this country as deeply as the days of the civil war.

I didn't agree with everything President Obama did, but America didn't turn into a socialist hellhole, nor did the economy crash on his watch as so many on the right wing predicted. This is the last post I'll do here, claiming I'm an Independent.

Sorry Trump supporters: You lost me - Goodby!

That's not too different from my story. I was once a Republican and now consider myself Independent. The republican's never delivered on their claims of being fiscally responsible. Now they just follow trumps failed policy. I expect many will see the increased debt, failed policy, riots, lack of leadership.... and move on too.

So you believe Democrats are fiscally responsible?

That's how we know you're a fraud.

Are you trying to pretend today's 'conservatives' are fiscally responsible? Get. The ****. Outta. Here, dip shit. That's how 'we' know you're a fraud.

Are you trying to pretend that Dims are fiscally responsible?

Oh, I dunno. Are you trying to pretend that Reps are fiscally responsible? If ya are, you're a damn liar.

There are many Republicans who don't support the party of Trump, me being one of them.

That’s a bullshit lie...every single ‘Republican’ I know can’t stand the GOP and the nutless establishment bitches. The sackless cowards got their asses handed to them by the Left for decades. We’ll never see another ‘Republican’ elected to POTUS.

You are referring to party of trump people, who are not Republicans.

You, Joe B, the late Jake Starky and a host of idiots all claim to have been Republicans. They think, as do you, it will give them more credibility than being a long-term liberal hack.

No one's buying it.

I for one don't want or need your credibility I was a republican all my life until my last repub vote for gwb in 2000 While I can't agree with all Dem policies the republican ones are not for me or America AND to put the icing on the cake you gave us the lowest form of human being as president , Trump..

your party gave him to us eddie....you guys picked hillary....and it doesnt look like you have learned anything by choosing biden....

Harry come on now ,,no matter who we picked you guys would bash them saying how could you choose him or her ? There is NO DEM that'd stop repubs from bashing them I didn't like gwb but he's a saint compared to the garbage you guys gave us

Actually, Eddie, you should learn the difference between "disagreeing with" and "bashing". It's quite true that there's no Democrat you could pick with whom we would not disagree. But there ARE Democrats in the country - precious few of them, I'll grant you - we wouldn't "bash". It's just that the Democrat Party has effectively purged and banished those people from the halls of power, so your candidates are always well beyond simple disagreement.

You keep nominating verifiably horrible, garbage human beings, and no amount of deflection is going to make it OUR fault you do.

I only read the first sentence or so of this post as I scrolled by but that first sentence or so caught my eye.

Bashing is exactly what republicans did to Obama and Clinton.

What is there to disagree with in a tan suit? You people went on and on about Obama wearing a tan suit. Why? It was ridiculous. Yes, that was bashing. Many other presidents wore tan suits and you people didn't have any problem with it.

What was there to disagree with Obama about mustard? You people went on and on about mustard calling Obama a snob.

What is there to disagree with religion? You people went on and on about how Obama is a muslim for years.

What is there to disagree with in a holiday card list? You people investigated Clinton's holiday card list.

I can go on and on about all the bashing and totally ridiculous and childish things you people went off on and bashed democrats for years.

It wasn't disagreeing it was childish, immature bashing. Over totally ridiculous things.

You even went off on Michelle for wearing a short sleeve dress. Horror of horrors!

Then you turned around and elected a man with a wife who not just wears short sleeve dresses but actually took her clothes off for tacky porn sites.

You all went off on Clinton for his extra marital affairs weather they were real or not. Then you turned around and elected a man who has been married 3 times and cheated on all 3 of those wives.

Disagreeing? Seriously here, do you really think that people are that stupid?

I agree. I was and still am a registered Republican for all my life but for 6 months when I switched to Democrat for vote for Obama in the 2008 primary.

I voted for Nixon, Ford, Reagan (once), HW Bush twice. Bob Dole - my last vote for a Republican for President. I never voted for Bill Clinton, GW Bush. I voted for Obama twice. I certainly never did or never will vote for Trump.

The Republican Party sold out its members with George W Bush & then sold its soul with Donald Trump. I will never ever vote again for any Republican running for the US House or Senate or the State House or Senate.

Republicans have become a party geared towrd the White Supremacists, racists & bigots. You sit there as Trump says the worsa things & say nothing.

**** all Republicans that support Trump. Your hate for America is well noted.

You have never voted Republican, douchebag.

You aren't fooling anyone.

I laugh at you when you think all Republicans would still vote for your fat assed orange buddy. Not all of them are as stupid as you.

First of all both parties incur debt. If you are choosing a party based upon debt then the choice is neither. The only good thing you can say about debt is that usually Republicans get a better economy with their debt than Democrats.

Second of all maybe that asshole Obama didn't turn this country into a Socialist shithole but it wasn't for the lack of trying. The Republican House and later Senate stopped him from doing the damage he wanted to do.

What Obama did do was increase poverty, decrease family income, run up $10 trillion in debt, run up the cost of heath care, weaken the military, increase taxes, gave away the store with foreign policy and had dismal economic growth.

As far as the difference between the Republicans and Democrats.

Republicans are always better than the Democrats. That is indisputable. However, "better" is a very relative term and doesn't mean much. A million times better than zero is still pretty much zero.

Democrats promise bad government and will always deliver on bad government.

The Republicans promise good government but at the end of the day usually deliver about the same bad government as we would have got had the Democrats been elected.

Most of the time the difference is minimal. They are both the party of big government and supporters of the welfare state.

I am a Conservative but don't consider myself a Republican because at the end of the day Republicans are nothing more than Democrat Light. Republicans at best are only the lesser of two evils.

Right wingers are in every state, and they all think the same, masks are an infringement on their right to make other people sick, therefore the virus is going to spread in every state regardless of being blue or red. The only variable will be population density. The less dense, the less spread. Many red states are low population because nobody wants to live there for various reasons ..... boring, nothing to do, no jobs, shitty weather.

Now take a look at Florida, a red state with lots of people. COVID is running wild there now. It has come within a hair of NY's record for new cases in one day. It's a case of right wingers demanding their Constitutional right to get sick as well as sicken others. And they've got lots of old people. FL's hospitals are likely to overflow and max out, and lots of people die at home. It'll probably eclipse NY's totals as well as most countries.

Of course FL might not be a red state if the Repubs there allowed blacks to vote.

But FL has nothing on AZ, another red state protecting its 'spread the virus' right. AZ has far more cases per capita than FL, and will eventually have the highest in the nation. They're doing an excellent job of protecting their right to be sick and die.
Republicans are ruining America. Vote Biden

What happens when all healthy citizens get the virus?

Hopefully we never have to find out

So lets slow roll this Kung Flu virus around for the next 3 to 5 years? You are such stupid worthless *****...

Maybe a year stupid Slow and easy is the only way to go Businesses need to get street traffic back into stores and with virus going up instead of down that will take time But Trump ass kissers don't know that They think trump is smart Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahaha

eddie what about all those people who running out of money to buy things?....whats your plan for them?

Think they're planning for another handout Only this time instead of giving the bucks to the millionaire businesses they give it to those who really need it

So you believe the people "who really need it" are going to be better off with a handout rather than a job?

Jobs are better BUT when will all those millions be back on the work force?

Depends on how long the dipshit leftists are planning to fight reopening the economy.

I literally cannot tell you how much less I value your "moral condemnation" based on this ludicrous, illogical tripe. And God knows, I already wouldn't have wasted spit on your opinion if it were on fire even before this.

The truth is, you wanted a party that let you tell yourself you're better than everyone else, rather than one that required you to actually BE better. Same as all amoral, soulless leftists.

The economy was in process of opening and look at the result. No masks, no social distancing, huge crowds at beaches, bars, etc. There have to be major changed as to how we conduct ourselves and you "hoax"
whiners have to accept the advice of our medical and scientific communities instead of Trump, who only cares
about himself.

That's not too different from my story. I was once a Republican and now consider myself Independent. The republican's never delivered on their claims of being fiscally responsible. Now they just follow trumps failed policy. I expect many will see the increased debt, failed policy, riots, lack of leadership.... and move on too.

So you believe Democrats are fiscally responsible?

That's how we know you're a fraud.

No, but they are more responsible than trump. Trump has drastically increased deficits.

Responsible? As in fiscally responsible? The only way we’re going to shave down the deficits/debt is if we have a conservative government.Tge Democrats will be just like Trump and quite frankly worse. At least Trump spends on the military. If I’m going to overspend that’s what I want to overspend on.

Yeah screw the infrastructure Who needs it??? We probably spend more on our military that the rest of the world does ,combined

Much of the Western world gets away with spending so little on their own militaries primarily because the US provides their defense for them.

And how much of the "infrastructure" is actually the responsibility of the federal government, anyway? Do you even know, or do you just ASSume everything should be handled by a big, centralized national government?

Conservatives used to care about paying down our national debt, supporting our troops, and our European allies against threats from Communism. Today the party of Trump cares little about any of these, instead focusing on abusing little children on our southern border, sucking up to dictators from Russia, North Korea, and Turkey, and dividing this country as deeply as the days of the civil war.

I didn't agree with everything President Obama did, but America didn't turn into a socialist hellhole, nor did the economy crash on his watch as so many on the right wing predicted. This is the last post I'll do here, claiming I'm an Independent.

Sorry Trump supporters: You lost me - Goodby!

That's not too different from my story. I was once a Republican and now consider myself Independent. The republican's never delivered on their claims of being fiscally responsible. Now they just follow trumps failed policy. I expect many will see the increased debt, failed policy, riots, lack of leadership.... and move on too.

So you believe Democrats are fiscally responsible?

That's how we know you're a fraud.

No, but they are more responsible than trump. Trump has drastically increased deficits.

Responsible? As in fiscally responsible? The only way we’re going to shave down the deficits/debt is if we have a conservative government.Tge Democrats will be just like Trump and quite frankly worse. At least Trump spends on the military. If I’m going to overspend that’s what I want to overspend on.

Yeah screw the infrastructure Who needs it??? We probably spend more on our military that the rest of the world does ,combined

Much of the Western world gets away with spending so little on their own militaries primarily because the US provides their defense for them.

And how much of the "infrastructure" is actually the responsibility of the federal government, anyway? Do you even know, or do you just ASSume everything should be handled by a big, centralized national government?

So with most states in the red the Govt turns a blind eye to infrastructure ? To hell with the citizens
