Reply #83: My husband and I are both registered independents [View All]

[Dappleganger]

in our state, for very different reasons, however. I did use to lean more conservatively two decades ago but life's experiences changed my outlook quite a bit. My husband is a "live and let live" kind of person, thinks that rush/hannity/boner/etc. are all idiots and is quite socially liberal. We do tend to disagree vehemently on military issues. The best part about him is that he listens well, reaffirms my positions and we don't let things become too personal. He is so disgusted with Rick Scott running for governor that he's declared to me that he'll vote for Alex Sink and possibly Meek (he doesn't like wishy-washy Crist). He is very anti-teabagger and called them redubbed republicans early on.

His immediate family are very NE conservatives as well except for one bro is a a strong liberal, but the rest of his family from both sides are die-hard FDR democrats from Long Island. His great aunt who's still alive even ran for mayor on the dem ticket before (strong Irish Catholic dem).

FL's democratic party is frustrating...there are others here too who always vote dem but also share that frustration. In VA I was registered dem but not here.
