My ex-husband was a Republican, but he was truly a moderate. He voted for Clinton's second term, and also for Ann Richards here in Texas. He was a social liberal. But I will no longer accept even that kind of Republican, because now that I am more informed, I know Democrats are also better for the economy, so it's just crazy to be a social liberal and still be a Republican for economic reasons. And also, the social issues are most important to me, so if someone would sell out reproductive rights, equal rights for gays, etc, because he thinks it will be better for the economy, then that is a person whose values I do not respect.
