This subject is a can of worms I seldom touch. It is however well advised that if you are either a republican or democrat you must forgive your "opponent". The peril of failing to do so is severe. You would risk of becoming your "hated" party member in your next incarnation. Imagine a SF liberal becoming a texan GOP politiko in his next life? It is pure Hell on Earth. Also remember that half the country is independent or inclined to lean that way so you are a majority of nothing.....
