I was a registered Democrat for 60 years. I recently changed my registration to independent because I was tired of Democrats, typically on the right side of most issues, nevertheless shooting themselves in their collective feet when it was important. The only important thing right now is defeating Sen. Susan Collins.  However, with so much […]
