...reasons why I could no longer stomach the Republican party.

For now, I'll just say it all started when I was happily working within the Republican party in Texas, and Bush began his run for the President. Nothing perceptable in the party when he ran for governor, but when it hit President, I started feeling all this weird * in the party that I couldn't quite put my finger on, but just felt filthy wrong (if you know what I mean). I was already discontented because of the rise of the Religious Right, and was ripe for leaving the party. That odd feeling that something going on wasn't quite right was the thing that did it. I've wandered in the political wilderness since then, trying to find my way. Bush again came to the rescue, and drove me to the left through his revolting policies.

So here I am! :loveya:
