Psssh.. "as a former republican."""
I am crying "BULLSH**" on that one.
Laughable.
If you were a republican, you were a republican in the vein of a Lincoln Chafee, who was a Republican, then Democrat, soon to be libertarian or green party or some such nonsense.
That is a person with no set principles.
When a person goes from a true Rep. to Dem. he goes from thinking things through to how he "feels" about things. Consequences don't matter, failed programs don't matter, they just haven't been done correctly, or given enough money.
Embrace the man tony (big government). Big government statism is what you attribute to "growing up intellectually."
