I'm not saying every single Republican is like that, but they do seem to be a more loyal group than the Dems.

In 2004 I can remember having a discussion with this idiot I work with. He kept going on and on about what a bad job he thought Bush was doing, etc. So after a few minutes I asked him if he planned on voting for him that November. Without hesitation he said of course. I was dumbfounded. I asked why and he said, I'm a Republican, I vote for my party. Then I asked him if he would vote for a Republican candidate whose platform was based on killing babies. His answer, of course, I'm a Republican, I vote for my party. It was eye opening to say the least.

Totally agree. The "pull one lever and you vote for one party"
was intended for Republicans.
