Six years ago, and more, I refused to vote because I couldn't stand politicians. What's more, I had been an ignorant democrat for much of my life. I thought Bush was a cowboy, Gore was a clown, and couldn't stand O'Reilly, least of all Limbaugh. After 9/11, I started using my brain and thinking for myself. And, God forbid, listening to Michael Reagan, Neil Bortz, O'Reilly, Hannity, and yes, even Rush, instead of so much liberal media. When Bush showed his balls of steel and flew to BagDad, that clinched it. I am now registered Republican, and will vote in my first national election in over 20 years. Amazing what happens when you grow up, six years makes a difference.
