I don't get it but I'm sure the guy finds something in that party he likes OR MAYBE nothing in the Democratic party he likes. I have friends who are black (me too) who are conservative republicans because they are evangelical anti-gay marriage church people.

It's a very very old friendship. She used to be a Sermon on the Mount kind of Christian. Then she got married and moved to a conservative area and became one of them. If she and I met now, we wouldn't have enough in common to become good friends. But we go way back and I love her dearly. She also has a very dear friend who is gay. She has nothing against him but it's the marriage thing she can't get past.
