In the past I had to choose a party so I could vote in the primaries. Then it changed to if you registered with a party you could only vote for those candidates (dumb!).
I vote on each issue and candidate individually. There isn't one party or person that encompasses all my beliefs. I am also in high agreement with those who don't like Christianity being the basis for laws and the government. I am not a fan of any religion dictating their beliefs, even if they may be of my own religion, onto other people. Freedom to practice, or not practice any religion is a wonderful thing. A certain religious group has a BIG hand in my state politics, and I don't like it at all. I want to be able to purchase hard liquor for use at home outside of 11am-7pm Monday through Saturday, and not have to do it through a state run store.
This a joke my friends keep telling me:
Q: What do you call a Republican from California that moves somewhere else?
A: A Democrat!!!
They are from small conservative towns, I am from San Francisco. Two complete political extremes create much merriment for us.
