As I talked about here before, I promised to vote for a candidate for public office I know before I found out he was a Republican.  had no problem voting for the person, but the election was a primary. And in a primary, you have to say which party's ballot you want. That meant going in and saying, in a sense, I was Republican.

So, I decided to honor my promise, and I did.

It wasn't near the same as walking in and saying I had twenty dollars who had a little boy. However, it did not feel great. And the fact is your average Republican is much closer to doing that than I like (in both a moral and an actual sense.)

At least, I didn't say I was a teabagger.

Today, I am NOT a Republican.
