(14,177 posts)I leaned left on most social issues. I leaned right on economic issues(big mistake). My breakthrough in figuring out that Republicans are wrong on everything came with Michele Bachmann declaring that BP would be chumps to agree to pay for all the damage they did with the oil spill. At least that is how I perceived her comments. I wasn't really that far off. I thought she was the biggest nut on the planet. Then I looked at other GOP leaders and found most of them are outright hateful, mostly nuts, and they really don't have good economic plans. They really do just want to punish people for being poor and give even more money to people that are already very rich. Gack, not a solution to economic problems at all. So, I have gone from moderate to fairly liberal in just a few years. BTW, I wasn't more than a casual FOX viewer and quit watching altogether in 2008 or so. Didn't watch the crazies too much, I don't like being yelled at by pundits.
