It came up before - it is an interesting dynamic.
I was raised in a blue collar community my father and most other men were union members, and Democrats. I was a Democrat through college, but started to change my views. A key turning point was when I studied Miton Friedman and his book Free to Choose. When I started working in the corporate world I became Republican, after starting my own business I became Libertarian and then because of my concerns about national defense I returned to the Republican Party and actively supported Bush.
What is interesting is that consistently 90% of Black voter vote for Democrats - but when you discuss issue by issue with them they tend to be more conservative than liberal.

Right. In your mind what I shared has no validity. In your mind I am simply trying to deceive you. In your mind I am just playing games for the sake of playing games. Etc. Etc. Etc. I got that. Again, what I ask you to do is ignore me and my posts. On this issue, do your own homework unless you have already come to the conclusion that you know everything that needs to be known on the issue.
