When I was younger (ok, maybe a year ago) I though to myself "How could people be so devoted to one political party?"

Granted, some people may rarely agree 100% with the politics of a party, but most people I know can shift between the two relatively easy.

But now I've figured it out. It's those damn politicians. For me, it's not the ideology that bothers me, but the opportunistic bastards who bank on the "hard" opinions of a party to gain more support and power. Everytime I see a Democratic candidate go out on a limb and criticize the whole Iraq issue, I just feel this stirring of hatred deep down.

Might I remind everyone that the war with Iraq was supported by both parties when Bush looked for approval from Congress?* (*ok, debateable that Bush got "approval" for the war, but in any case, both parties stood by Bush).

Now that there are possible inklings of doubt in Iraq, power-hungry Democrats bank on this sentiment (note the lack of the use of "popular" there) to gain more exposure and to boost their power.

I would not be such a Republican if I didn't hate those Democrats so damn much. If you get in my face with Democratic propaganda bullshit, I'll spit some Republican propaganda bullshit right back at you.

Argh.
