Jack speaks for me. As a born, lifelong Republican, I know how difficult it is to change parties. It's almost like religion. Now that I have, I hope I never support a Democrat who is as dumb and incompetent as our George III. The very worse elements of the GOP are in control and empowered. To continue to support them is a real tragedy, one which will send many of us with PD elsewhere for help if we can afford it.
