Before I Ran For District Attorney, Two Republicans Invited My Husband And Me To Lunch. And I Knew A Party-switch Was Exactly What They Wanted. So, I Told Chuck, We'll Be Polite, Enjoy A Free Lunch And Then Say Goodbye. But We Talked About Issues - They Never Used The Words Republican, Or Democrat, Conservative Or Liberal. We Talked About Many Issues, Like Welfare - Is It A Way Of Life, Or A Hand-up? Talked About The Size Of Government - How Much Should It Tax Families And Small Businesses? And When We Left That Lunch, We Got In The Car And I Looked Over At Chuck And Said, "i'll Be Damned, We're Republicans."
