Did you always have your current politics?

I was never a Reagan fan as either Governor or President, but one thing he said I agreed with: "I didn't leave my party (Democrats), they left me". I feel my general positions on political issues haven't changed very much but the parties keep flopping and swirling like dead fish, chasing whatever is trending. So I've never really felt affiliated with any particular party and have voted Green, Libertarian, and whatever other flavor candidates were available as well as the two main parties. It is the candidate and what they say they stand for, and then hope and pray that (1) they can get elected on that common sense approach and if so (2) they live up to their word.
