Is Scott Peterson a repug?

I'd really like to know. I've lived in Modesto, where he is from, and it is FAR from a "liberal" California town. It's more like the South, with an angry majority of poor, working class whites. He's also originally from San Diego, which is high in repukes by California standards.

The repukes loves to beat us up with examples of the "liberal lifestyle" that supposedly causes crime. They don't care if they have to lie to do it, either. Gingrich blamed liberals for Susan Smith killing her children, until it was shown that she was actually the step daughter of a prominant repuke. He may have continued doing so after this was proven. Newt was never big on facts.

The truth is, many serial murderers are repukes, and liberal values do not cause crime!

Does anyone know about Peterson's political background?

Modesto is very liberal compared to what I grew up with. Regardless and political belief aside, mental illness and murder don't know many political lines. Both sides are capable of doing terrible things against their own and society. I think the question should be what we can do to stop the crime and hurt. Repukes or not.

i was a conservative in calif
a liberal living in texas

but he didn't strike me as someone who would bother to register to vote, unless of course, it was advantageous to his career and golfing. That was the sales end of it, right? That pretty much would answer that!!

Let me add, I'm NOT suggesting that sales and being Republican go together. Just that if your idea of voting is to further your career, to paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, "You might be a Repuke, if......"

I guess most of the people I grew up with were a mixture of both parties and still don't get out and vote. Which I think is a shame. I grew up in a hard core Dem family. We walked picket lines and did phone banks growing up. My father was invited to the funeral of Cesar Chavez. But many of my friends, being children of the hard working Democrats, sat and languished in their parents achievements. I think we all need to get out and do something! Even if someone speaks their mind against me? I respect that far more than someone who says nothing. Sales, fast food, whatever...we have the chance to make our voices heard. Scott didn't seem to make his voice heard in the right places. I agree with what you have to say. I absolutely do. As a side note...I grew up in Rosedale. What side of town are you from?


P.S. My Dad plays golf and he was a union man before he retired. LOL. But my conservative brother plays golf as well. My father wasn't very jazzed about playing golf with him. My bro lives in Texas. Maybe it's who you play play golf with? LOL.

It wouldn't surprise me to know he was a republican, though.

As far as Modesto goes, I was born and raised there and live there again after having lived elsewhere. There are lots of republicans here, but lots of liberals, too. The local paper's letters to the editor reflect a wide variety of views. Republicans, or conservative Dems tend to dominate politically, but I think part of that is voter apathy on the part of Democrats. The numbers of registered voters are pretty evenly split among the two parties.

At any rate, I wouldn't point to him having lived in Modesto as evidence he's a republican.

Scott Peterson was
-white
-married
-from an upper middle class family
-didn't finish college
-Stanislaus County resident (went for Bush)
-drove an SUV
-worked in a conservative industry (chemical)
-belonged to a country club

Regardless of Scott Peterson's political views....we know for sure that Scott worked/lived/socialized in a very CONSERVATIVE climate.

Perhaps all that family values talk made Scott feel angry at himself for not being strong enough to avoid all his affairs....and perhaps he feared divorcing Laci would ruin him socially and financially....since all those conservatives would turn their back on him.

I'd say conservatism did have a role in Scott Peterson thinking the easiest way out....was to make Laci quietly disappear.

but Scott actually did graduate from San Luis Obispo with a degree in Agriculture, as did Laci. Your other points are well taken.
