I'm a republican, as are my parents and my younger brother. My father's dad is republican as well. Everyone else in our family are democrats. I have an uncle who was a state senator from the mid 80s to the mid 90s. Over thanksgiving we all have these huge political discussions and usually its me, my brother, my dad and my mom against the rest of the family when having debates about political issues. However, this past thxsgiving my uncle and I sat down for a couple of hours and talked about all sorts of stuff in history ( He has his PhD in History ) and then discussed politics and trade agreements. After talking to him for awhile and going in depth on what democrats believe and why they believe the things they do.....I'm starting to think I'm in the wrong political party. At times i feel like I'm a moderate republican and other times I feel like I'm a democrat. I told my mom and dad I was thinking about changing political parties and they about flipped out. My mom was more worried than my dad, my dad says he thinks he's starting to think more like a libertarian. When I asked my mom why she doesn't value being a democrat and basically despises them....she answers "Because they support homosexuality". I told her thats about the dumbest reason I've ever heard for someone to not like a political party. I tried explaining to her that not all democrats like gay people. She's one of those people who thinks George W is heaven scent.
Sitting on the political fence.....
