My answer was: "Well, which would you rather be?"
He converted about a week later.
Today we have further proof. The Dems are well and truly the party of the poor.
WASHINGTON – The number of people in the U.S. who are in poverty is on track for a record increase on President Barack Obama's watch, with the ranks of working-age poor approaching 1960s levels that led to the national war on poverty.So which would YOU prefer to be?

My parents were Democrat. I was raised to think of myself as Democrat.
And yet there hasn't been a Democratic Presidential candidate since before Jimmy Carter that I could support or agree with.
It really struck me how President Reagan's "VooDoo" economics - fire the striking Air Traffic Controller union (PATCO), cut back government and government spending, and reduce business taxes - worked. The realities of a Capitalist system (government works with and supports capitalists - wealthy and companies) seem to work better, more "sustainably".
My concern is the inept front men that the Republican Party seems so enamored of. I don't appreciate Sarah Palin, I don't see her as a particularly astute or able politician - yet I was heartened by her nomination as VP candidate in the last election. I took that as a sign that the Republican Party was listening to criticism, was cleaning up the "old boy" network that had gotten mired in ineffective talking heads instead of able and competent politicians.
I have been registered Republican since Jimmy Carter days, and don't regret it. President Obama is my President - yet I oppose nearly everything he advocates and tries to do. Unlike the Clinton's, Obama's faults seem rooted in Marxist and Islamic fundamentalism and incompetence; the Clintons were simply amoral and corrupt.
Anyway, I am Republican, out of work, struggling, and more angry with an entrenched, inept Republican Party than horrified at the shallow vote-mongering of the Democrats.
