Air Fleischer is so anal, (anal-expulsive adj. Psychology. Indicating personality traits, such as conceit, suspicion, ambition, cruelty, emotional outbursts, disorganization, self-confidence, originating in habits, attitudes, or values associated with infantile pleasure in the expulsion of feces.) and this brings about a feeling of pity for him and his parents. He was a liberal democrat, raised in a staunch liberal democrat household. Now, I can understand a republican moving over to the democrat side (like Arianna Huffington) but for the life of me I cannot fathom why a liberal would turn conservative, especially a well educated one. Except when doing so is because of a lust for $$$$$$$$. ...

Now, I can understand a republican moving over to the democrat side (like Arianna Huffington) but for the life of me I cannot fathom why a liberal would turn conservative, especially a well educated one. Except when doing so is because of a lust for $$$$$$$$. I would venture to guess this was Fleischer's reasoning.

Here are a couple of questions asked of Ari and his replies:

Jewish Journal: Are you a lifelong Republican?

Fleischer: By no means. Both my parents are proud Democrats. My dad never voted for a Republican and never will. While I lived at home and when I started college, I was a liberal Democrat. In a sense, it was President Carter who drove me out of the Democratic Party and it was President Reagan who welcomed me into the Republican Party.

Jewish Journal: How did your parents react when you came out of the closet and told them you had become a Republican?

Fleischer: They were horrified and MY DAD IS STILL HORRIFIED. We are a very close family, but not a quiet one. One of my brothers is a very liberal Democrat, and the other is a very conservative Republican. We have some very spirited discussions around the dinner table.
