In reply to the discussion: My husband is a registered Republican [View all]Jakes Progress
(11,213 posts)I wish I knew him. He sounds like a very good man. You see aspersions where there are none. I didn't assume anything about him. I drew on knowledge of other people I have known - as I stated in my first reply.
I didn't say that republicans who see the light and begin to vote Democratic are bad. I said they need to learn from their mistakes less they repeat them in the future. For instance, I upset you by posting something of my beliefs that upset you because of your relationship. That was evidently a mistake. One I won't repeat. That's how growth works. I have more admiration for you husband than I do for someone like me who was raised in a union backing liberal family and have always voted Democratic. He has changed for the better. My only point was that unless my erstwhile republican friends (most of whom first balked at sarah palin) need to see why they were wrong even before mccain made that horrible mistake. If they don't, they risk falling for the republican bullshit again.
