halavanaWhen I turned 18 and registered to vote for the first time, they asked me which party I wanted to claim. I'd been thinking about this for a while. At first I thought, Lincoln was a Republican. That sounds good. Then I though, Will Rogers said, "I am a member of no organized political party. I'm a Democrat." That sounded even better, so I registered as a Democrat.
Time passed and stuff happened. Robert Byrd choking on his conscience convinced me that I was in the wrong political party, so I switched from conservative Democrat to moderate Republican. Right now I'm not very pleased with any party, Republican, Democrat or Libertarian, so I'm thinking about going Independent. Still might, but the more I find out about Lincoln, the more I like and respect the guy. Maybe I'll start referring to the GOP as the PoL. The way stuff happens and things change, who knows how things will be in the next century. If we last that long.
