Understand your perspective, but Dems are so pathetic at this point why even bother? I registered libertarian, just to let Repugs know that I might agree with some of their "small government" policies, but their social policies are strictly middle ages. Frankly, I think Bu$h Repugs are socialists -- they believe in socialism for the corporate rich (check out Cheney's Haliburton history) and free enterprise for the poor and middle-class.
