Lieberman shared many of the same views of the Democratic Party and was opposed to Bush's policies. Then he started backing the President, and he even enjoyed a big kiss with Bush after the State of the Union (literally).



He would be what you would call a "flip-flopper".

I traditionally call myself a Moderate Republican, but if someone asks I just call myself a moderate. If you even think of calling yourself a Republican now, the person you are speaking to will turn their back and call you a Bush supporter. So I try to avoid it by not giving out my political preference.

No.

Yes I do. It amazes me to see both sides automatically jump on the bandwagon. I find it difficult to believe that so many people can actually support everything their party stands for. I remember seeing a poll that 35% of New Yorkers support everything Hilary Clinton stands for, as 34% support absolutely nothing. I say rubbish. It's all politics. There may be a few individuals who actually do/don't support the political ideals of a certain candidate, but I find it hard to believe that they can not find one thing, not one that they like/don't like about the particular candidate. *Don't quote me on those numbers*

Of course I do, as does the bulk of the nation. I know they are not exactly the same thing, but we are told they are.

Not at all. I find it ridiculous. You have to be able to think for yourself you cannot just listen to what Rush says and then base your opinion solely off of that.

I think we are all guilty of this to a certain point. However, I used to be a full-blown jesus thumping Republican. If I saw a Democrat I would be disgusted and call them a traitor. Now I cannot defend someones actions simply on their beliefs or political preference. If so I would still support Bush, God help me. I tend to think more of Independents for the simple fact that they think for theirselves, they don't wait to see which member of their party takes a certain position. Once the people start to come up with their own conclussions and not that of their political party we will be much better off.

They are never always correct, and I do not always support them. I find it more common in those who fully support their party that they will stand by their man even if they know what he did was wrong. I hate politics but I realize, at the same time, I have to live with it.
