Joe Piscopo’s confessions of a disillusioned Democrat
Washington Times ^ | August 14, 2014 | Joe Piscopo

Posted on 08/15/2014 4:50:17 AM PDT by Maceman

I’m a Democrat. I’ve been a Democrat my entire life.

I used to utter those two sentences with pride and would shout them from the highest rooftops. Now, I’m almost embarrassed to say those words.

I almost can’t articulate my political affiliation in public (or on the radio) without immediately offering an apology and an explanation.

How did I get here?

Wow. Wondered what ever happened to Joe. I guess when Frank Sinatra died, so did Joe’s career.

Wow, this is what we face. And Joe is still hooked. Joe, a couple of weeks of research would have disabused you of all those silly ideas about democrats. Simply WOW.

No offense to Mr. Piscopo, but how many times might he have referred to non-Democrats as morons or used some expletive to describe someone who did not vote Democrat?

It’s seems to be inevitable that Democrats walk the face of the earth thinking that they’re brilliant and all others are dog feces.

One hopes that Mr.Piscopo and people like him reject the detestable, elitist, psychotic mindset of Progressive Democrats who hate the Constitution and consider themselves citizens of the “world”.

IMHO

Slow Joe indeed. I had to really jog my memory to recall who he was. LBJ was the last Dem who was “strong” on defense. Where has Joe been all this time? Not that I really care....

Joe's pathetically naïve; he's always come across as intellectually challenged.

This article is frustrating because he, at long last, still doesn't understand that the Democrat party was a farce from the beginning.

Like a character in a Greek Tragedy when he realizes everything he believed was a lie.

How did I get here?

First of all he finally grew up. No doubt that epiphany happened when he also realized his party has been co-opted over the past few decades by Socialists and Communists.

What Joe is telling us, and millions upon millions of other life-long Democrats, is that there is no viable political party right now that represents his beliefs and his interests.

Of course, as a life-long 'Republican,' I can say the same thing.

Now, a word of caution to former Democrats who are buying the 'Independent' tee-shirt. "Vote for the person, not the party," is a blind alley. "Independents," sad experience has shown, tend left-ward, and when a Democrat administration proposes, for far-fetched example, some strange lesbian from a notoriously Communist family, whose brother was head of the CPUSA, why that's who they back.

Oh wait, didn't "The Republicans" just do that a while back? Joe is obviously thinking about this, along with millions of others of us. There's the danger. The people running the show and their supporters don't have to think. They have a program, a plan, and millions of supporters ready to do whatever their leaders tell them. If that fails, since they have complete control of the nation's political infrastructure, they can achieve the results they want by fraud.

How do we get out of this?

I met him at a Bill Bradley fundraiser when Bradley was running against Whitman. He was in character. Was pathetic.

I hope you are wrong - think you are probably correct.
