Hey I was a Clinton ’92 voter, while active-duty military.
I grew up a Union Democrat, one that the brie-eating, foreign car driving california liberal tolerates once every 4 years before going back to their social clubs.
I thought the Democratic Party was out to protect the auto and steel industry. Economic Nationalists. So despite my pro-gun stance, my distaste for welfare-queens, affirmative action, death penalty opponents, etc. I plugged my nose and voted conservative Democrat (Abilene – Charles Stenholm, Youngstown – Jim Traficant). At some point, I just couldn’t take it anymore, and since both parties became Pro-Nafta, I at least agreed in principle more with Newt Gingrinch than I did the granola crowd so here I am.
