I have been an independent all my life. I always thought the person mattered more than the Party. Then along came Reagan.
Ronald Reagan showed me that I was only half right. His Presidency revealed the power of his ideas; it also revealed the true character of the Democratic Party.
The opposition party's irrational hatred of Reagan made me ashamed I had ever voted for a Democrat. Their evolution into a party promoting abortion and insistent on tax increases drove me even further away from them.
The left wing has taken over a once-great-Democratic-party. The left wing has now taken over the Republican Party.
I'm still an independent, but my divorce from the Democrats is final. When the election comes in November, I will feel like the Republicans and I have separated and I am joining them for a court-ordered visitation. I will be cordial, but I will want them to know I won't be voting for the Republicans - I'll be voting against the Democrats.
