Party lines, not conga lines

My boyfriend thinks I am Republican. But I have to disagree. It all started after watching the local news discuss the digital TV conversation. Apparently, the government is delaying the conversation because not enough people are prepared. To which I say "Are you people idiots? Americans are notorious procrastinators! Do you think that giving them an extra 4 months will make them any more prepared? No! Just 4 more months to procrastinate. I digress. I guess they also ran out of those free converter box coupons so my boyfriend said "Well, where are they going to get the money for more converter box coupons?" And I said "They'll probably throw it in the Economic Bailout package as another reason why we have to pass this monstrous bill!" Well, a couple minutes later, the reporter proved me right. That's when my boyfriend called me a Republican. It's not that I never would vote Republican (for the record, I have never voted for a Republican). I have been registered as Independent since I first started voting. I have always liked to see the entire picture and weigh all my options before I make a final decision. There are some things that I happen to agree with the Republicans, and some things (most things) I agree with Democrats. It wasn't until this past election that I changed my party. I thought that in order to vote in the primaries (and for a Democrat), I would have to make the switch. Well, I didn't have to so I will being switching back to Independent ASAP! If not just for my personal beliefs, but at the very least to get rid of this political junk mail!!
