A converted democrat here >> How many others have quit the dems due to the liberal fanatics taking over?

Answer 1

My father has more or less. He is a JFK democrat from the 50's and agrees today's Dem's are liberals. He actually voted against Kerry in the last Election.

He also sends out a month newsletter about the way politics are going, and change needs to be done.

Answer 2

I started off as a Democrat throughout college. However as I started reading and paying attention to what was going on I realized just pulling a lever because they claim to be for the people is silly.

I disagree with the party's socialist stance and desire for the distribution of wealth (not their own, just everyone else's). I disagree with the conservative branch of the Republican party as well, but believe the Republicans more closely reflect the views of middle America.

I'd vote for a viable third party candidate for president except that unless that party can control the congress it will be a long, lame four years. Plus, while a third party candidate will appeal to independents and some moderates, but about 60 percent of the voters just vote for their party, making it more of a religious act of faith than electing the President of the United States.
