I use to be a hook, line and sinker GOP member, although I voted for a few state and local Dems.
Our government reminds me of a past employee I once had. Him and his wife fought like hell over everything, neither giving. They were divorcing and fighting over their few goods and trailer home. She wanted half. He actually got drunk, took a chainsaw and cut the thing in half, even caught on fire. In the end fighting over having to have it their way, nothing was left...That's what government has done, except were the ones with nothing left.
As I said elsewhere, I don't fit in with either party. Government as is has become so partisan, I don't ever see them doing anything. Both groups have some decent ideas on some things, but to admit the other side has ideas means they may get credit and neither side wants the other to have any credit, because it equals political points..
I'm much more liberal as I've gotten older, simply, I don't feel I have to force or judge people to live by my morals.
The fact is this next election will only show how bad and partisan things are.
