Glad you're here! I'm a white people too. I can't imagine myself EVER voting republi-CON. I just can't. It's just not in me. I can't possibly espouse what they do. They're against everything I'm for, and for everything I'm against. As I age, I find myself leaning farther and farther to the left. But then again, I started out that way.
