As an ex-Dem I can easily state that you are wrong on many levels. Dems don't cut taxes, appoint conservative federal judges, or aide the military. Sometimes Republicans talk a good game but don't deliver. But overall I'm far happier with Republicans than I was with Dems.

Republicans cut taxes? Tell that to the Republican Governor of Connecticut, Jodi Rell, wants to raise the state income tax 10% over the next two years and make it retroactive to January first of this year! I can understand your feeling happier considering you transitioned from one party dominated by socialism to one of lesser socialism but that doesn't change the fact the Republican party is becoming more socialistic.
