on the subject, might suggest that what they see now has been creeping in since the start of the Wilson administration.Posted on 10/23/2008 6:46:12 AM PDT by connell

I talk to them every day.
To call them "disgruntled Hillary supporters" is to drastically underestimate who they are and what has happened to their thinking. To call them "disgruntled Hillary supporters" suggests that they're only upset at Hillary's loss in the primary, and that they'll be back after the anger settles.
Wrong.
Okay, that will undoubtedly be true of some of them—but not the ones I've been talking to. The ones with whom I (and a few fellow conservatives) have been speaking will NOT be back under the Democrats' tent any time soon, and possibly ever.
You see, they didn't just get upset at a loss, they saw something in the Democratic Party that they didn't like. Now, you and I will tell them, "oh, that's been there for a long time." I myself, especially after a recent improvement to my education
For right now, though, those details don't matter. What matters is that they've seen the leftist rot eating away at an American political party. The ones with whom we are in contact are not leaving the party out of some petulance at a primary loss, they're leaving the party because that rot has been exposed to them. Barack Obama has lifted up the carpet and showed them the rotting floorboards (or teeming roaches—whatever metaphor you like) underneath.
Obama represents the far left, and he will bring them in with him if he wins. And, as scary as that prospect is, he has at least done us the favor of making the Democrats leftward lurch sufficiently obvious that it has awoken and angered a significant subset of the Democrats' base.
They're angry—at what they see in the party, in the media, and in the radical leftist groups committing so much crime on Obama's behalf. . .
They're working HARD for McCain . . .
They're making quiet confessions of conservative views and open declarations that they will never vote Democrat again . . .
And they're NOT being polled accurately.
They've also got a pretty serious manifesto up at Just Say No Deal. I will include the first portion of the text here, with a link to continue reading.
This is not a transitory phenomenon; this is a sea-change:
We Clinton Supporters and bloggers have been viewing the death of the Democratic Party through the lens of a coup or hostile takeover by its liberal left wing. We witnessed in disbelief as our party became the party of violence, sexism, misogyny, racism, thuggery, theft, corruption, caucus fraud, and voter registration fraud.
Before casting a vote, Centrist Dems and all other Americans must stop looking at the current Democratic Party through the perception they have of what the Democratic Party once meant.
that party was dead and buried on may 31, 2008
This is not your grandmother's left wing (or maybe it is). What is now being uncovered is that the takeover of the Democratic Party is being orchestrated by a group of people with socialist/marxist beliefs, with a pinch of fascism sprinkled in—being led by a hand picked, groomed and marketed messiah under the guise of “progressivism”—with a belief system that states the ends justify the means. This may also explain why well over 90% of the African American population is voting for this candidate, and though some of it has to do with his race, more may be because of his socialist philosophy.
barack obama is that hand picked candidate
Hillary Clinton was systematically destroyed by the “Democratic Party” in the primaries. We may debate her strengths and weaknesses as a candidate, but not being part of the 'master plan', she was quite simply irrelevant.
On the other hand, Barack was spoon fed his current core beliefs for decades, and is a willing participant in the downfall of America as you know it. The candidate who has shattered all fund raising records, is now deeply in political debt to his radical associations.
It's time to understand where this “alien” democratic party is heading with Obama in the foreground and his numerous radical socialist/marxist associates in the background. Let's start with a history lesson . . .
Continue reading here, about seven paragraphs down.
If the DNC and Democratic Party structure isn't seriously worried about this, they should be. They may be drunk on Obamahol now, and they may even win the day, but when they sober up, they're going to see that they've lost a number of friends.
The PUMA’s will also never see the MSM the same way...
Totally. I talk to them, and I want to say “see, THIS is what WE’VE been dealing with for decades. NOW you get it.” But I don’t. I don’t want to spook them right when they’re moving our way.
I spend a lot of time commenting with these good folks over at www.noquarterusa.net.
They are virtually unreported by the MSM. The stealth vote for McCain/Palin.
As Reagan said, “I didn’t leave the Democrat Party — the party left me.” If these people are catching on, I say Good.
Now, they might start listening--really listening to the logic of conservatism. Once it sinks in, there will be no turning back.
Welcome home, Americans.
I’m sure there are a lot of red state conservative Democrats that are suffering from buyer’s remorse. I know many who identify themselves as Democrats but are voting for McCain/Palin. They may be Democrats but they are not communists.
Intoxicated with power, the damage inflicted on this country by the radical left will destroy the Democratic Party for decades to come. If I were a Dem, I'd be very afraid of the coming thugocracy and its consequences.
A lot of the female Hillary! voters were not necessarily Democratz in the first place. They were supporting Hillary! because she was a woman. When The Democtraz party disposed of her like yesterday’s fish wrap, they had an epiphany. All is not well in Howard Deanland. If Momma ain’t happy, ain’t NOBODY HAPPY!...............
Obama is NOT a Democrat. He is a socialist/communist. I’m glad to see that some Democrats have come to the realization that their party has been taken over and it’s not their party anymore.
Tis article is correct. the PUMA’s are royally pissed.
The SNL skit about asking Barak if he’d like a pillow was spot on.
The stealth vote against Obama and the democratic party.
Are any of the angry at Bill and Hillary for campaigning for B. Hussein the way they are; especially Hillary?
The damage they cause to the Democratic party will equal that inflicted upon the conservative movement by the RINOS over the last three decades.
I see a different outcome. If Obama goes down in flames, an increasingly likely prospect, Hillary will become the de facto head of the party. And she will purge that party more than Stalin purged his.
She will expel every one of her enemies of the extreme left, which will leave her “Democratic Leadership Council” in charge, and the Moonbats out in the cold. It will leave the Democrats far more moderate, if in the minority for a long time, and the Moonbats will flood to a third party, possibly the Greens. But the Democrats will still have seats, and the Greens will not.
Ironically, Hillary will do this out of pure vengeance, not moderation, but the result will be the same.
They are discovering what I learned 13 years ago.
Former Democrat
Rush Grampa.
Hillary is a pragmatic women. She needs the support of the Democratic Party for her run in 2012. Her support has been tepid at best.
We all remember Harriet Christian; the lady who made a big scene after the DNC gave the nomination to B. Hussein.
Well, Harriet and other PUMAs are taking weekend bus tours every weekend into PA. Check it out:
