Especially after GWB. That's like those fake democrats who hate Hillary, hated Obama, voted Nader, but still somehow think they are the 'real' left. They're not. Just lying to themselves.

I bet they voted for Bush, twice, too. Because, you know, Gore was too weak/dull, and then we were at war and we "had to support out seated president."

I have a family member who says they're a Democrat, or Independent, depending on the crowd, but they've only ever voted for Republicans since at least the 80's.

I figure they make the claim to not have to deal with the extended family at holidays they have to attend, but they're 100% a CT believing fringe right person when they open up. Which isn't often, since our family demographics don't mesh with their beliefs.
