"Waste and War"

By The Daily Dish

Mar 7 2007, 8:57 AM ET

A reader writes:

After being a registered Republican for over 30 years, I became a Democrat to vote for Kerry in the primaries. My party deserted me a long time ago. On a simplistic plane, back in the 60's and 70's, the Democrats wasted money and started wars (which was why I chose to register Republican). Now that war and waste have become the mantra of Republicans, I'm sure I'm not the first vote they will lose. I still believe in fiscal conservatism; but the "Ann Coulter View" of social and moral America makes me want to puke.

Me too. But she thknks we're both "liberals." The Democrats should give her a commission for all the conservatives she has turned into "liberals."
