That may come to pass. I posted what I did because a very conservative friend of mine asked me if there were any circumstances under which I might vote Republican again and, to be honest, if the GOP were ever to get its mind back and decide that it *can* have a liberal wing (just like the Democrats have a conservative wing) then I might actually consider it.
I remember a GOP that was not so hostile to the idea of a social democracy and that was actually out in front on issues of civil rights (because Jim Crow laws offended the libertarian sensibilities of the more liberal Republicans). Should that party ever revive itself (and it pretty much has NO choice but to do so) then I might go back to the GOP.
Cheers

"People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
