Garry Cobb played football for USC and then for 11 years with the Philadelphia Eagles. He is now running for New Jersey's 1st District seat as a Republican, and his explanation of why he is no longer a Democrat is very compelling.
Explaining that he kind of discovered that he was Republican due to his upbringing, he said that the massively negative effects of Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty had the most impact:
This was an incentive for the man to leave the home and it's destroyed African-American families throughout the country.
I didn't realize it but as I started thinking about it and growing up, because as a kid going to college, you know I was all into the Democratic Party and everything; then I started realizing they helped destroy our communities and we're supposed to be celebrating electing these people.
One of the towns in our areas, Camden, is still suffering. I want to put an end to this.
He goes on to explain further how the Democratic party and its policies have impacted youth, the economy, and more. He has some not-so-complimentary things to say about the President as well.
It's refreshing to see a man in a position like Cobb's so clearly explain why liberal economic and social policies are not as compassionate as many are led to believe…
