re: Why do you believe what you believe? (politics-wise)

My parents were hard core Republicans. My mother was Catholic so I attended Mass every sunday until I was 12. At 14 I started going to Baptist church with friends on my own. My father was not religious...unless you consider the alter of the NFL a religion.
After I left the Navy I became a huge Rush Limbaugh fan and identified closely with his politics (this was back when he was just an entertainer with a decent enough message).
I saw a lot of things in the Navy that turned me away from religion which was fine...I think sooner or later people grow up and don't need those type of crutches.
After we invaded Iraq and it was discovered that W hoodwinking us about WMDs I voted for a democrat for president for the first time. I started looking around and listening to what the candidates were talking about (as far as their beliefs) actually educating myself about politics. I will never vote party again...I will always vote person.

The above almost always translates in practice to, "I vote Democrat every day and twice on Saturdays".

W never misled about WMDs...
They were there, we found and disposed hundreds of tons in 08-10.
It cannot be an edible story for the masses because of who supplied Sadam.
Additionally, the chemical weapons labs were pulled and brought to Syria before the assault began in '03.

that's how you wind up with Harry Reid as Senate majority leader and a federal bench stacked with liberal judges.
But, then again you feel good, so that has to count for something.
