Most people your age go through this transformation.
You may be a late bloomer, but its nothing to be afraid of.
Its a natural part of growing up and being exposed to the realities of life.

I am right there with you. I am 29 and going through the same thing. This once die-hard liberal is finding out that I am more of a Centrist then I though. I have found out that I am a Bill Clinton democrat. Which is fiscally conservative while still being able to care for the welfare of the people. I agree with the other posters, that the more money you make the more you want to keep. The higher you income the more conservative you will become. I have started rethinking taxes for social programs and all kinds of right-leaning things that I would have never imagined. I guess it is a natural progression...God help us

NO, Giuliani was once a Democrat, and some argue he is more liberal than Clinton. He will most likely be the front runner and get the nomination, the others Romney, and Thompson do not have what it takes to compete against the Clintons. We can all hope but a lot of independent have switched their votes to the Democratic ticket, (baby boomers and all) especially in the states that matter, like Florida, and New Mexico. Which will lead to the Democratic victory in 2008.

I think many of us start out as liberal because our pro-union school teachers are mostly liberal. Eventually, you start to notice a lot of things in the REAL world that don't seem to mesh with that viewpoint, and you start becoming conservative. When I registered as a Republican at age 19, I would've called myself a moderate. Not anymore! I am more conservative than my own party, and I'm cheesed off at the way they have abandoned their fiscal principles.

Both sides are right. Just as long as no one puts the moral flag on either's turf. That's hopeless.
I agree with the cons on some stuff, ultimately the things like supporting the war, average citizen owning guns more powerful than the police, and the plain ignoring of most minorities kinda makes me still vote Democrat.

The more money you have the more you want to keep it nothing wrong with it. Makes decisions on a case by case basis all conservatives arent for lowering taxes they just take money in different ways.

Of course you are...you are growing up and seeing things without the rose colored glasses that the libs wear.
It's ok...you will be alright...thought process and views change when you are making your own money, raising your own family, and trying to pay your own bills.
Welcome to our world :)

There is nothing wrong with being fiscally conservative. We just need to convince the republicans that that is a sound policy.

Go to youtube and type in "Ron Paul Monetary" and you'll get what you're looking for. Happy viewing!

Yup. 30 is about the age most people actually start growing up.
Only those hopelessly stuck in puberty cling to their former beliefs.
