zimmy contacted hannity but according the word on the street, he's a registered Democrat..

[Ecumenist]

This makes NO SENSE....talk to me..

[southernyankeebelle]

1. Well he is hispanic isn't he? But that is besides the point. I don't care if he is a democrat

or a republican because what he did wasn't right, period.

[LiberalLoner]

2. maybe

Maybe he registered d just to mess with the primaries to harm d's?

[Ecumenist]

4. BINGO. I have often wondered if that's the real reason for his so called status.

[sadbear]

9. Not that uncommon.

While not registered as a republican, I do vote in their primaries here in Texas.

[teddy51]

3. Apparently, not all good Democrats are actually Democrats. Not so hard to understand IMO. n/t

[ThoughtCriminal]

5. You'll know when FOX is throwing him under the bus

when they put a (D) next to his name.

[janx]

6. Believe it or not, there are some things

that are a lot more important than political affiliation or lack thereof.

This is one of them.

[DonCoquixote]

7. Watch the "centrists" embrace him

As many of them are still mad that Obama is president. Hey Americans united, I think you have a spokesman, someone who hates Obama as much as you do, and though you do not admit it, for the same reason. I bet Lynn Evelyn de Rothschild and Joe Lieberman buy this clown a mansion.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

8. Is he intelligent enough to know the difference between Dem and Repuke? nt

[unionworks]

10. The Sad Sad Truth

IMHO - flame away. Zimmy is/was mentally "disturbed" and had the concealed carry permit people done a proper background check before issuing a gun permit, this tragedy would never have happened. My take.

[Ecumenist]

11. I can't speak for other people BUT I agree with you 100%, Union. I think he's off but

not so much that he can't pay for his crime.

[RebelOne]

14. I don't think Florida does a proper check.

An ex-boyfriend had a concealed gun permit, and he had killed a man in New York and was never prosecuted. He owned a restaurant in Miami and carried a gun because the restaurant was not in the best of neighborhood -- 79h Street and Biscayne Blvd.

[unionworks]

24. Speaking from my heart

...it is a horrible tragedy for all involved. I grew up in a neighborhood where childhood friends never lived to see adulthood from violence. I know what it feels like.

[MADem]

12. My dear, oftentimes people register with the opposing party to screw with their primaries and vote

for the weakest candidate, in order to smooth the way for their own party's favorite.

That guy doesn't seem like a very good Democrat to me, running around getting in fights with police officers, beating up drunk women while working under the table at illegal parties, having brushes with domestic violence, and shooting teenagers for no reason save what smells to me like blatant bigotry.

I'd love to know more about the magistrate system in VA. His father was a magistrate for years, and VA has had more than their share of GOP governors. I'm wondering if those positions are appointed ones, and who did the appointing, if that was the case? That might give us a clue...

[Lex]

13. The "word on the street?" And even so, how does that change anything he did?

[Ecumenist]

15. Doesn't change a DAMN THING the murderer did. I just see a HUGE cognitive dissonance

here.

[Lex]

19. Assuming that because he was a racist, then he must be a Republican

isn't that big of a leap, but that's not always the case. I doubt anyone here would feel I differently about him or what he did.

[H2O Man]

16. The media has reported

that he is a registered democrat.

In times of crises, people will turn to any available support.

[Bjorn Against]

17. From what I understand there are still a good number of Dixiecrats in Florida

There are some people in the south who are still clinging to the old pre-civil rights era version of the Democratic Party, they are basically Strom Thurmond Democrats that vote Republican. I don't know if this description fits Zimmerman or not but it would make sense.

[Skittles]

18. we have plenty of gun nuts right here on DU

[Daniel537]

20. Please don't compare responsible gun owners to this Zimmerman thug. n/t

[Skittles]

22. we'll just take your word for it

just like the Sandford police took ol' George's word

[Johnny Rico]

21. Hey...my ears are burning!

I wonder why?

[Logical]

23. And plenty of biased uninformed anti-gun people on the DU also. No difference! n-t

[MagickMuffin]

25. I think he is probably a "Chaos Democrat"

However, if there is any Precinct Chairs on DU who has access to the Voter Rolls we could find out how he votes.

At least in Texas that is the case. We have access to the Voter Rolls and we can determine how people vote how many elections they have voted in, whether or not they are Democrats or Republicans.

So, we need a shout out to any DUers in Florida that could put an end to the speculation.

And lastly, his voting record is NOT that important to me, the fact that he killed someone in cold blood and then decides to take advantage of the SYG law so he isn't charge with murder, and after listening to his 9-11 call proves to me his intent.

[Zax2me]

26. He pissed on his defense team, too.

I think Zimmerman is beginning to expose himself as not so bright.
for those who were in doubt.

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. Dad is a registered Republican.

To be honest I have hear George is a Dem, but I have yet to see hard evidence.

[MrScorpio]

28. I'm sure that some of his friends are black too nt

It doesn't matter either way.
