I see that you’re an expat, but are you a Republican? Just curious.
Understand. My Bonafides may or may not convince, but here ya go ...
I posses a picture of myself (age ~5) with a Goldwater Sash.
I have a invitation letter from the Nixon Administration to his inaugeration (from my parents of course!)
I manned telephone banks in Maryland in the late 70's in support of Gerald Ford.
I proudly served in the US Army under Reagan.
I have remained a fierce supporter of GWB over here all through the 00's -
I am registered as Republican.
But - I am NOT a GOP Republican - I am a conservative that believes in VERY limited government and that the constitution means exactly what it says, needs no interpretation or searches for "original intent".
Hope that clarifies ... Fregards!
