I was the same way. Hell, I did my 8th grade social studies project on Ronald Reagan. But in 2001, after 9/11, I started to see the problems, plus the young Repulicans told me not to come back due to my views on the war. But now I've figured out that both sides are corrupt, and you can't just go by liberal or conservative.
Conservative one day, liberal or whatever the next. It keeps turning only to one day arrive at where it once begun.
