Were you Ever in the Opposite Party?

I was a Democrat back when I was a child because mother and (politically involved) uncle were, though I didn't understand liberalism or conservatism whatsoever. By the time I was 14, I began forming my own views and decided that I had more in common with the Republicans.

I considered myself a Republican for about a year. Pretty much my parents being as hard-right as they are it was tough to break away, but I did in late 2013. A combination of researching and listening to Ron Paul made me realize there were flaws and contradictions in conservative orthodoxy that led me to my moderate libertarianism now.

Funny how I see politics in generally the same direction, yet I still have the party label. I have no idea if my social views would block me from relevance in the Georgia GOP, though.
