er... I wonder if you guys could help me.

I am a fairly new U.S. citizen of English descent, and my Momma did tell me when I came out here that if I ever became a citizen, I should be a Republican because they are so like our English Tory party. So, being young and niaive, I gave her my word.

But I am having some difficulty in being true to that promise to my Momma.

I thought that if there was some way I could show Momma that I act and think like a Republican, I won't have to actually join their political party.   (Neat dodge, eh?)

So.   What do I do?

TIA
