(53 posts)I am a registered Dem and will certainly vote for Obama in November. However, like so many on this board, I am disgusted with the party in general. I will not contribute one cent to the party until they have some backbone; until they unequivocally reject the destruction of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid; until they reject Pelosi's newly found support for Simpson/Bowles; until Obama learns how to negotiate with the GOP and not give in before the bargaining begins. Instead, I will contribute my hard-earned money to individual Dem candidates who exhibit the qualities and positions I value.
And, as I said, I will vote for Obama. The best reason for doing so (apart from Romney being a disaster) is the fact that one or more Supreme Court justices will probably retire during the next four years. Allowing Romney/McConnell/Boehner to make the appointments would set this country back for generations.
