It's curious. I had a friend years ago that was a die-hard democrat. He had a motorcycle wreak (with out a helmet) and is now a die-hard republican.
PS- this is not to endorse either party or insight "brain-damaged republican" jokes. It was just strange that he had such a major change in fundamental beliefs. Other than his political leanings, he really didn't change that much otherwise.

I don't think that is so much a political belief Alpha, as a truism.

LOL, I'd rather have a truism than a political belief and be wrong.

Well Berkley did a study that I found to be very interesting...

It could be that whom we vote for has less to do with our judgments about tax policy or free trade or health care, and more with the personalities we've been stuck with since we were kids.
