A Newly Minted Democrat

'44 years a Republican, 1 year an Independent, today I'm joining the Democratic Party'

"This was not an easy decision to make. Politics is like one's religion, you just don't change it unless you have a moment of clarity and realize you are on the wrong path. My family's involvement in the GOP goes all the way back to the mid-1850s and the start of the GOP in Illinois.
My Mother's family helped organize the GOP in Illinois. They were opposed to one human being owning another human being as chattel. They found slavery morally repugnant and were zealots in advocating its demise. My family has been GOP blue-blood.
That is how far back my roots run in the GOP. I have no roots in the Democratic Party. However, it is time for me to lay some down." Chicago Now

Welcome to the party, Mr. Schneider.

Welcome to the party, Mr. Schneider.
I know who this guy is...and I'm betting a dollar to a donut he renegs before the end of the year. Schneider has been looking the other way to the screwed up social policy positions (and every other screwed up position) of the Republican party his entire adult life. He's either lying or he's gonna be on the short list of the shittiest conservative democrats in the state of Illinois.

Think again Ike, he'll be right at home in the Democratic Party which is almost as morally corrupt as the GOP.

Poor Nailer, he was that kid in grade school that had to hide out during recess because he was always the target when playing dodgeball.

It appears I should have alerted you to the impending sarcasm.

I must be getting old.

BTW, a belated welcome back. I've also been meaning to thank you for recommending The Bridge a couple years back.
