But I also support Democrats. So, that means I am both a Democrat and a Republican at the same time. And,

That'd make you an independent actually, but you support a Republican for the top office. In addition I remember you supporting a Republican for Senate in my state who lost with less than 40% of the vote and by 20 points in a crushing landslide. That would make you a pretty die-hard GOP partisan then since those are basically the only people who voted for him.

But in the last midterms most of the candidates I supported were Democrats. How many "die-hard GOP partisans" support Democrats more often than they support Republicans? But, hey, if you don't WANT independents to identify as Democrats I guess you have the right to. And if you furthermore want to convince them of being Republicans, feel free. I don't see how it benefits you or your party much though.

Then why do you support a Bush clone to continue over him and endorse a 100% lockstep voting Bushbot over a relatively moderate Democrat in my state who only die-hard GOP partisans voted for?

I obviously don't consider McCain a Bush-clone. Most people don't, because he's not. There was something about Kennedy that I liked. It was never such a big deal to me as it apparently was to you. I supported numerous Democrats for other elections. By your logic that would make me a Democrat. And I can't be both at the same time, which is why your statement makes no sense.
