I am a newly converted democrat. I was a democrat all my voting life because of my 20+ years as a Teamster. I have never been a liberal though. I have vowed never to vote for a democratic candidate again in my life. At the same token, I will not vote blindly for republicans. I'm Tea Party conservative all the way. It's been people's blind allegiances to these parties that have gotten us in this mess to begin with. I'm guilty of it. NEVER AGAIN! I am so ashamed that I have been a part of putting communist pigs like dick durbin in office. I am a conservative because I believe only conservatives can save our country, they are the only people who make any sense when they talk.
I think Obama needs to go. I'm not sure Romney would even be half as effective as Obama, but I'm willing to take that chance.
