Add Michelle Bachmann to the list too!

I’d heard that Reid was once a human but had it surgically removed.

[Steelers6]

Harry Reid has been a Registered Democrat since Sharon Angle quit the Democrat Party. Well Reagan used to be a Democrat too, so according to the Press only current Democrat Obama supporters count anyway.

[Soul Seeker]

Yes, it sure is.

Why knowledge she was a Democrat for a few years sure puts a damper on her electability. Imagine how damaged she’d be if she’d been one for decades like Reagan..oh wait.

Ridiculous statement.

[americanophile]

No, it’s not: it’s alright to rat, but you can’t re-rat. She was a Republican then became a Democrat (at the height of the Reagan Revolution) and then later became a Republican again. The analogy isn’t to Reagan, it’s to Arlen Specter.

[americanophile]

I doubt I’m helping them. Angle was a poor choice. Reid is no choice.

[americanophile]

NO, just better informed.

[americanophile]

screw him

[americanophile]

I’m not a turncoat. I never supported her. I thought she was the weakest of the three candidates running againts Reid.

[marron]

She was a Democrat for four years, and has been a Republican for the last 22. Big whoopie do...

Exactly. The more I hear about her, the more I like her. She wants to pull the US out of the UN, kill the Education Department, and privatize social security. The moderates are screaming and the best they can come up with was that 22 years ago she was a Democrat. And after that she was third party because the GOP wasn't conservative enough for her. To me thats an endorsement, not a criticism.

[americanophile]

I am pissing in the wind here, but I get bored with towing the line. She’s got a trainload of issues, this is just beginning.

[Randy Larsen]

But now that she is the winner...

I rest my case TURNCOAT!

[americanophile]

If she’s in...

[americanophile]

I did know it...but it’s not what Angle did. Reagan left the Democratic party to become a Republican and the central figure of modern conservatism. Angle was a Republican and left the central figure of modern conservatism to become a Democrat. See the difference? ...or did you not know that?

[americanophile]

...and as a conservative, before a Republican I will only support her if I think she’s a good conservative. I don’t.

I rest my case PARTYMAN!

[americanophile]

...was there more to that?

“The only thing unraveling is your manhood.”

You’re coming to the defense of a conservative female? I’m at a loss for words. Up to now you were so predictable. Did Duncan Hunter and the Falcon Party approve that?

[JSDude1]

So was Ronald Reagan, Mike Pence, etc..so? Time to “moveon”..

[sanjoaquinvalley]

Oh so what, when I was in my 20’s I didn’t know which party to support. When Bill Clinton ran for office I thought he was womderful, by the end of his first term I was a hardcore conservative. Yes, Bill, Hill and Al made me a republican. Assuming BO will be responsible for making many more young Republicans. PS: Charlton Heston was once a Democrat too.
