I'm fiscally conservative and socially liberal in my political philosophy.
In 1982 - 1983 I realized that the GOP had become:
1. Anti-environmental
2. Anti-equality (especially women's rights and affirmative action)
3. Pro-religious right.
These are three very important issues to me, so I finally woke up and said "Hey! These are not my people!"
I considered myself Independent for a while but then realized that the Democratic Party stood for what I stood for. So I said "Hey! These are my people!"
When you lose the Lodges, Saltonstalls, and Phillips families then you've pretty well lost an hope of being credible political party.
