First I was Liberal (Democrat) because I thought it was great that they claimed to support sharing things (supposedly more so than do the Republicans). Then I realized that there may be lazy "do-nothing" citizens who would take advantage of the system and rely on government to take from others and give to those who are unwilling to earn any money.
As I grew, learned, and matured, I became a Conservative (Republican). Then I noticed how repressive they were toward individual personal activity. No to gambling, no to prostitution, no to pornography, no to homosexuality, no to drugs, no to objectionalbe music lyrics, no to this, and no to that. What happened to "less government regulation"?
One party wants to control my money. The other party wants to control my private life. So, I don't fully support either party. I consider myself an easygoing, live-and-let-live moderate Libertarian.
