I'm particularly curious about your comment that economic issues are what pushes you to consider yourself a Republican.

Since Republican administrations have a horrid record on economics, spending like drunken sailors while cutting taxes for the wealthiest, putting our country deeper and deeper in debt, how do you reconcile that? Or is that they type of economics you want?
