A call for critical thinking.
As a former lifelong Democrat, and DEC member, I finally got fed up with the party when they (against all promises) continued funding for the Iraq war in 2007. I resigned in protest. I changed to "No Party Affiliation", when they voted for telecom immunity and gutting FISA in 2008.
Here's how bad it's gotten. This was sent out by a friend of mine, a former twice Democratic nominee for Florida's 5th District. He was recruited by Nancy Pelosi to run. Then the FDP and DCCC undermined his campaign. It went to most of the FDP's mailing list.
"There is but ONE party... "The MONEY Party!" The continued existence of the Democratic Party perpetrates a fraud upon those who still wish to believe... To wish that the reality before them were rather some kind of play. How different are the policies of Obama from those of George Bush? Bush was less of a threat! You folks heard of The Trans Pacific Partnership that Obama said he was going to ratify? NDAA? NSA? KeystoneXL? Drones? Wall Street? AND You genuflect for Wasserman Schlitz! Instead, WE ALL lose with a collection of syncophants who faint at every word spoken by the wunderkind Obama the CORPORATIST, while trashing anyone who actually stands up and criticizes the present while offering real solutions for a better future.
The Democratic Party is an absolute menace to society. The SILENCE of the flock is deafening against the FASCIST lot in Tallahassee... AND D.C. Your bozo minority leader who asks Democrats to lay off Weatherford (The Speaker who NEVER had a REAL job), is on the ropes! How quickly the sheep embrace an enabler of Bush as your leader which can only be characterized as "The Last Straw" as the flock of Neville Chamberlains take the whole lot of us figuratively, if not literally to the gallows politically. I cannot be associated with people so lacking in character, vision, constitution or integrity! Think of the children as the Florida Public School system is decimated by Will the Shill, Corcoran, Legg et al over the next 18 months or so... Think of the consequences for being so docile! "People will vote for strong and corrupt but never weak and corrupt.""
They offer us lip service and stab us in the back. Daily.
