I've been really thinking about the whole idea of political parties, and the people who follow them.
I'm willing to bet if this whole Iraq War thing was flipped and Al Gore and his administration went to Iraq, most Democrats against the war right now would be defending it and most Republicans for the war right now would be against it.
People don't really think about the issues anymore it seems. It's what the head honcho of the party says.
I say the same thing with Global Warming. I'd say most people questioning it are Republicans right? What if Dubya flipped with Gore and vice-versa? The Republicans who questioned it before would now be comparing the Democrats who mostly followed it before to Holocaust deniers.
It makes me sick. I used to be like that. Pro-war, big spending, pro-Patriot Act, anti-gay marriage, kill the Jihads, etc. Until I found out about Ron Paul and became Non-interventionist, small government, protect personal freedoms/privacy, who cares about gay marriage, etc. Someone who doesn't follow the way the party is going and sticks to his beliefs no matter how unpopular they may be with the party in general.
I just had to rant about this.
