This is where you're wrong.. I don't support the Democrats any more than the Republicans as a party.. I support issues. There is no party that represents me.. I don't agree with the radical feminism, or cultural liberalism of the Democrats... but I do agree with their social welfare and union friendly policies.. I am a registered independent and if I have to chose between McCain and Obama, I'll have to pick the lesser of evils, as both are evil in many ways.
Pat Buchanan was the last presidential candidate that represented my views closely and he was railroaded out of politics by the pro-Israel lobby and the pro-gay wing of the republican party after his 1992 convention speech.
