Changing political views

[HeatherMo]

Have any of your views on certain things changed? I'm sure at some point everyone's view about something has changed. Have you ever had any drastic change of views? What things have you changed your mind about?

I just feel my views about certain things changing more and more everyday.

Great minds - i was just thinking about this exact subject!

My views have definitely changed over the years - well, not necessarily my views - but how I see them in a matter of importance.
I use to consider more personal issues ot be highly imporant (marriage, children, etc) ... but now my issues of importance are shifting to political and economical factors. I still hold the same views, but they have different weight.

This, surprisingly, has shifted my political spectrum - instead of choosing my party and associations based on those more human-nature issues of marriage and children and thus siding with the republicans I, now, side with the Green party because their views on the economy and politics seem to match mine more lcosely.

Not T for T, though - but more closely, to the point where I don't get pissy every time one of them does or says something. I really got ot a point with the republican party and some people representing it where everyone was just a dumbass like Joe the Plumber and Palin the Pain.

I used to be Pro-Life and in 8th grade I went to a pro-life rally in DC. (I went to a Catholic School). Now I'm Pro-Choice. That's pretty much the only change in my political views.

I've been a social liberal prety much all of my life. That part of me has been very consistent. However, my view on the role of government agencies has changed through the years. I'm now more appreciative of the role they play and the good that agencies and programs provide.

My views have definitely changed. For years, I was hardcore Republican and would not look the other way. The past couple of years with the job I have my views on social and government involvement have changed. I call myself a Republican with a few Democratic tendencies.

If they have changed at all, they have gotten more liberal.

The only thing that has changed for me is gun control, I used to be staunchly for it, now I am not.

My views have changed on so many things since I became a parent. I'm less liberal and more moderate these days, I guess.

[devilwhiterose]

I became more conservative than I already was.

When I was first married I followed my parents views and was very republican. Family values have always been important to me, but after going though what I have... I've found, it seriously does take a village to raise children. So I've actually have found more family values on the opposite side of the fence. I've become pretty liberal... (to my families horror)
