They have taught me that the Democratic Party is nearly identical to the Republican Party. Both will trash, stomp, insult, and belittle anyone who doesn't fit with them ideologically, no matter what they have done for America. It's all about political ends.
I was horrified when the pukes were wearing band-aids with purple hearts on them to belittle the military accomplishments of John Kerry. I was disgusted when they tried to make Max Clealand out to be a traitor (the man lost three limbs in Vietnam for goodness' sake!) I thought my Party was opposite of them - caring, careful, considerate of the feelings and accomplishments of their fellow Americans.
Boy was I deluded.
Now I don't know where I belong politically. It's surely not with the Republicans (I'd rather put salt in my eye than vote for , but it doesn't feel like it's with the Dems anymore either. I think I've been born-again Independent.
