    Actually I don’t agree with every Republican stance. I support gay rights, I’m pro-choice (the whole abortion thing with Republicans is my biggest gripe), and I don’t think religion should be forced in schools. I’m actually atheist myself. However, as I get older, I’m finding myself agreeing much more with conservative politics. I lean Right, but I’m registered independent. I was told I “must” be a democrat my whole life, because I’m Mexican. I remember at a young age being taught in public schools in Southern California that “minorities must vote democrat.” It wasn’t until I got older I realized the propaganda that the Left spewed. They told me I was never good enough to vote any other way, but Democrat. So yea, I have a chip on my shoulder now that I’m older and can think more for myself. Democrat policies, politicians, and the Left have always treated me as a “victim” and instilled in my mind that Republicans are bad, and it’s THEIR fault my family is poor. Fuck that…it’s all lies.
