Re: I need all my weapons to protect myself from conservative terrorists
The odd alignment of the parties is nothing new in American politics.
The Democratic majority in Congress between 1932 and the 1970s was an odd collection of very leftist Eastern and Northern liberals and some downright reactionary, blatantly racist Southerners.
Nixon began, and Reagan completed, a process of attracting certain elements from the Democratic party, with an emphasis on the South, which has helped created the Republican majority today.
I can remember Republicans in the 60s (New York Mayor John Lindsay and Illinois Senator Charles Percy, in particular) who would have no place in today's Republican Party. Many centerist and moderate Republicans have left that party as well.
I can conceive of circumstances where I could vote for McCain or Hegel. Spector is too old, and (without taking anything away from a brilliant, heroic effort in New York City on and after 9/11) I wouldn't trust Gulliani with national office.
