I am not a Republican. Never will be. I will also never call myself a Democrat. Neither party has ever embodied principled stands on issues I consider most important to me, and the continued greatness of this country, to deserve my allegiance. When I vote - - and I always do - - I usually vote against the greater of two evils.
The U. S. is so politically polorized right now. The rancor in political discussion is probably is bad as it could be. Part of the problem is blind loyalty to political parties. The only reason I can see for Bush's still relatively high approval ratings is the support he receives from those who will stand by him and defend his policies no matter what - - simply because he is a Republican. My man, right or wrong.
I salute you, clavus. I salute you for your thoughtful, well-written contribution to this forum. But most of all, I salute you for rising above party affiliation and standing by your principles.
