It's November 7th and Rick Santorum is President-elect: How did it Happen?

48. There is

FIrst, people change

At one point in my life I did vote Republican. I voted for Bush the first time he ran. I voted for Kerry at his mid-term. After that, I have voted for the Democratic choice and have voted straight ticket. I fully plan on voting that way for every election that I could see in the future. I think that qualifies as "every time"

Second, on marriage, this is what I wrote.


Gay marriage: I don't think marriage should be recognized by the state. If people want to say they are married, so be it, but I see no reason that they should have special rights and tax benifits under the law.


In other words, I was saying that I didn't understand why people that are "married" should get special state benefits. I was saying any marriage. I don't think that is "right-wing"

...nothing wrong with changing, but you stated elsewhere that your views were conservative. So why the insistence that they're not?

With that said, I find it funny you would only post one part of that post.

I posted the portion that jumped out at me. So, what exactly is the point of this comment?

You've changed, fine. The point is that some of the views you're expressing have a conservative bent, and yet you're challenging anyone who cares to point that out. Not only that, but you're doing so by invoking the fact that you're a strong Democrat and listing a bunch of positions to prove it.
