Because I am simply an Independent. I see good and bad in both parties. Sometimes I have even been known to vote for a Green or Libertarian if they are the best candidate for the job at a local, state, or national level.
I didn't vote for Obama in 2008, but I also did not vote for McCain either. In 2012, I gave Obama a chance. I do not like the results - increased drone strikes, bombing more nations than Bush, NSA spying programs expanded, punishing whistle-blowers, beholden to Wall Street for economic and educational policies, and finally implementing a medical insurance plan originally put forth by Gingrich and the Heritage Foundation that is so far away from a public option that it is outlandish to believe it could ever be the first steps towards one.
Sorry to hurt your feelings, but not everyone who posts here is a registered Democratic party member, nor are they Republican 'spies' incognito either.
But please carry on with the team politics and mind reading. You are stellar at both.
