Guess who spends 1B dollars a day fighting socialized health care? I'm not going to trust in Reagan when the people who stand to lose the most money (and who've shafted me times over) are on the same side.

Reagan was not liked by the GOP when he ran. He was not the one they wanted running for president. He was the Ron Paul of his time.

And you have not been shafted by Republicans. You have been shafted by Washington. I hope the last 18 months of the White-house, and 4 years in Congress, has at least proven to you that the problem is not Republican or Democrate. It's to few people having to much power.

I understand that completely. I'm against a 2 party system. However, all I know is what I've learned, maybe it's all backwards, but republicans have been against my beliefs from the get-go. I believe in equality for all people and the freedoms that come with that equality, and it's always looked like the red was against that. Even now, gay rights is just the latest in a long line of battles for equality.

I would prefer an independant, but the tea party is not what I see as the solution.
