I am not a republican; but typically I stand up for that side because no one else seems to and majority of this forum are quick to bash the Republican party without even knowing what some of it's members that are brought into question stand for.

I had taken a hiatus. I am back, sort've. Reading over the posts in this forum have honestly sickened me and affirmed my belief that people do not want to genuinely research the situation on both sides and weigh it against each other. Since my absence, and I am in no way attributing the balance of this forum to myself, I've noticed the threads that are being posted becoming more and more trivial and almost comical. Had someone opposed these ideas then there may have been some more genuine discussions.

Check the posts on the first page of the politics forum alone. Ridiculous.. I support whoever has the best ideas (given who we are given as options for candidates.)

When I was younger I thought Democrats made much more sense and now that I'm a little bit older Many conservative (notice I say conservative because more parties fall into this category than just Republicans) ideals appeal to me after I've weighed it against my previous affiliations.

IMO many democratic pieces of legislation and proposals don't offer a way to empower the American people. By simply handing out something (as many Democrat programs do) you force the people to rely on you, you do not empower them to help themselves or better themselves.

But what do I know, I'm in the minority here. Guess I'll just have to stick to my looney ways and deal with the attacks that are going to come my way once more.

Someone has to represent the opposing side, I might as well pitch in my effort here along with the handful of other people that do so as well.
