20. I am a registered Republican!
Thu Oct 9, 2025, 06:39 PM
Thursday

When I moved back to my home town 12? years ago I registered as a Democrat, but going
to the VFW several times a week and seeing how much Democrats were hated and
despised locally and questions about how I was registered came quick. I told them I was
a registered R so they wouldn't automatically hate me.

Not wanting to get caught in a lie I run down and changed parties. Plus they'll never know
how I vote. Last R I voted for was Reagan, sorry I was young and not very smart then.

Another thing I've said hundreds of times, probably over 10 times today in fact, "I'm a registered
Republican who questions all politicians" and variations of that.

There is some method to my madness.
