According to all of the polls, the people are with the Democrats on background checks for gun purchases, immigration reform, strengthening social security, a balanced plan of both spending cuts AND increasing taxes and closing loopholes to lower deficits, not shutting down the government to demand the repeal of the ACA, allowing health insurance to cover contraception, keeping first-term abortion legal, safe, and rare, increasing education and Head Start for the very young, increasing employment with infrastructure projects, and opposing attempts to purge poor and elderly people from the voter rolls. This probably explains why the Democrats have won the last three elections.
At one time, I registered as a republican. NEVER AGAIN. I’m not into voting against my best interests, or the best interest of the MAJORITY of Americans. So, not alone on changing one’s mind, for the better.
wmconnelly: a large number of the TEA party folks ARE Birchers. Our local paper is constantly publishing “tea party” letters with the JBS web site as their only “authority”.
^FedEx just uses the Postal Service to deliver a lot of packages, and pockets the difference, but yes, they do deliver here. My “local” paper is small, but I also check out the Portland Oregonian, and L.A. times “letters” pages as well. Listening to Rush’s listeners also confirms a firm JBS affiliation within the TEA party folks.
As you appear to be in Florida from you posts, you know well the “leanings” down there as well. P.S. we don’t have ANY traffic lights!!

Until we all realize that both parties are laser focused on their agendas and not us, we are freaking doomed.
