I have voted for Democrats. I have voted for Republicans. I am an independent voter. Here, though, the Democrats continue to lose my confidence in their desparate, no-holds-barred willingness to inflame an issue which they would otherwise scream bloody murder about if it involved a Democrat. The party claiming to embrace "women's liberation"; the party embraced by a vast number of Hollywood bimbos of both sexes demanding the right to copulate at will, drug and booze freely, divorce as a hobby and leave children in psychic debris; the party that would rise up in righteous indignation out of making a public spectacle of a Democrat candidate's child; the party with a burgeoning population of voters slipping children onto the welfare rolls out of wedlock as the norm; the party, on the other hand, that found little irony in lionizing a former president well known not only for using females like his daily cigar but also for raping a few. Today's Democratic Party. A party, frankly, not of the Democrat Truman. Does the word "hypocrit" have any use here?

only if it's someone they don't like. They can't see their own hypocrisy.

Damn right it's hypocrisy, unlike the morally exempt GOP that doesn't represent toe tapping or underage page harassment.

You're as "independent" as Karl Rove.

What about Abramoff, Stevens, Craig - all Republicans? Is that not corruption and moral turpitude? What about going to war on flimsy, made-up data? What about curbing individual freedoms - is that the idea of small government letting people go about their business?

Also - you mention children slipping onto welfare rolls. I don't have the figures to hand but do you know which states have the highest rates of welfare, single motherhood etc? Thats right - red states. States that vote Republican. So blame east-coast liberal elites or corrupting America if you want, but the people who do the things you detest are governed, and often vote for, Republicans.

Oh really, NYS is a red state? Wow I never knew that.

Anyone care to explain this away:

I was tending toward Obama. Revelations about what Obama has really been up to in Chicago plus more-of-the-same-Dem-rant concerning the startling and welcome entry of Gov. Palin have led me to switch. I don't especially like Rove. I do like Palin.

And what exactly was he up to in Chicago? Not knowing that a friend of his was under investigation? If you were tending towards Obama and Palin brought you back, then I submit that you're not aware of the beliefs, or records, of at least one of them.

Do a little more research about both if you think Obama knew Rezko was crooked, or that Palin is clean.
