Yes, I've done a complete 180 in the past couple of years when it comes to party affiliation. I am a Christian conservative who use to be a Republican. I loved Ronald Reagan and voted for George W.........twice. I thought going into Iraq was the right thing to do, and could have been if done correctly. I thought the Republican Party could do no wrong. Instead we've had ridiculous spending, pure ignorance when it comes to the border control issue in Mexico, no direction in Iraq, pure neglect over Hurricane Katrina, letting large corporations in the pharmaceutical industry and other big business pay off our politicians, and a president who is acting like a chicken with his head cut off in a time when we need a leader.
Yea, I'd say I've done a 180. I am the last person in this World, my friends would say, that would come to this conclusion. I'm still shaken up by it. The proof of this obvious idiocy was there a few years before I came to this conclusion. There was a cloud of denial and brainwashing that I had to fight through to see the truth.
Oh, please don't be mistaken Democrats, your party is just as liable for the above. Your party's politicians are also being bought and full of corruption as much as the Republicans. The People are being royally screwed over by our government. It took me a while to realize.

(Also, for those that are reading and say that it was not the federal government's responsibility to go into New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina because of state and federal law are sadly mistaken. When a natural disaster affects two or more states (Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi) it becomes a federal event. I am a firm believer that individuals need to educate and protect themselves and not to rely on the government, but the Bible states that we must take care of the "lesser" of us at all times.)
