"May I also suggest that you change your party affiliation to Republican, if not, anything but democrat."
I am not registered Democrat. I have always been registered Independent. One of these days i'll be able to bring myself to register republican but it will be tough. While i know that working-class americans vote for republicans NOT democrats... i still think of registering republican as something traditionally for the rich and anti-elitism runs strong in my blood.

I know what you mean. When I left California, I was wearing my running shoes.

No, it has nothing to do with white folks. It has to do with a state with the fifth largest economy in the world teetering on bankruptcy.

I'm blue collar all the way. But if you mean being a Republican is for the capitalists, than count me in.

Just because you may be rich doesn't mean you stole it somehow. Lots of riches are richly deserved and earned honestly.

What's wrong with making the better mousetrap and succeeding at the game of life? Liberals don't understand this basic (fair) concept.

Absolutely nothing, which is why I will in the near future register republican. But like I said, I have an instinctive anti-elitism, which is largely why I turned against the democrats.

"While a majority of Pubbies would agree...."

Unfortunately both parties "entrenched political power structures" are sputtering and spitting on this one.

We need a paper ballot now, not later
