Switching Parties - Blackdiamond - 12-21-2008
Well WTHS, you're getting your wish granted. A few people have switched from the donkey to the elephant (do I have that right)?. I think they waited too long. The Sherriff changed Parties. What good does it do? Anything goes in Lake County. A friend of mine changed Parties and she said she knew her parents were turing over in their graves---who's ever heard of an Irishman, Catholic, going Republican? To each his own. I vote for the individual and not the Party. Everyone have a happy and safe holiday. Maybe some of you will participate on this Forum after the First of the Year :?:

BD- Speaking as an Irish Catholic (mostly) Republican..... I suspect the Sheriff switched because he caught Holy Hell for crossing party lines to back Mike Waller.
I'm with you- as I've gotten older and wiser, I vote for the person, not the party.
With the local Dems being headed by Link and Couvall, I'd claim Republican, too!
BTW, you are correct- Republicans are the Elephant, Dems are the Donkey.

Snoopy- Nobody was talking about blacks being Democrats. Not sure what you're inferring.... :?:
Re: Switching Parties - Blackdiamond - 12-23-2008
No $hit---He just read the word Democrat and assumed the rest. How pathetic. Didn't he see the make-up of the people at the celebration in Grant Park?
Thanks Karen

BD suggested Irish Catholics being Democrats, and I do not presume Blacks as Democrats.
I did not intend this to sound mean spririted, hope it wasn't. Merry Christmas to all of you! God Bless us all.

Oh, Snoopy, I should have made myself clearer. It was my Irish friends who said that through the years that Irish were Catholics and Democrats. It wasn't my description. Aren't the Kennedy's Irish? I never judge people as a group--NEVER :!:

To those that do not celebrate my faith, Happy Holidays to you as well!

One thing for sure, God doesn't have any particular Religion. May God bless you.
