(7,549 posts)I voted Reagan because my parents were Republican.
Then I went to college and learned to think for myself. I have never voted Republican since for any office and unless hell freezes over I never will again. I have always voted straight Democratic ticket since 1981.
I converted my Mom shortly after and she voted Democrat in every election until she passed in 2008. I also converted my sister who is still also voting straight ticket.
Now I feel abandoned too and like there is no where to turn. Its like some one posted on here before I feel like we are in a horribly written cop show or movie. Where we are all just stuck in one colossal good cop/bad cop epic fail scene, where no one has our best interests at heart anymore. I wish we had a good defense attorney to carry on the metaphor.
