In the beginning, the Dem Party had a good foundation. Somehow, it got taken over. Ex-Dems must be saying, 'I'd rather run than fight'. Why did YOU leave? - Why didn't you stay & fight and get the socialists, etc. to change, or get THEM to leave! (Maybe you or others did make a sincere effort to work for having the Dems do what is right.)
I will suggest that the greatest problem is not that the leadership is wrong; the Greatest problem is that the everyday Democrat voter doesn't KNOW... doesn't know the issues, and the other point of view. And/or, they are afraid to go into new 'political territory' & take a chance.
If we work the system, and make a solid effort to effectively communicate with Democrats... And if they hear the message and reject it... At that time, after the sincerce effort has been made & if the majority of Dems don't want to change, then that would be the time for me to change my registration.
-Dem Party must die- My first preference:
The Democratic Party must change the way they govern! After a sincere effort is made, - if the majority wants to continue with current policies, then let the party die.
Pineda is no Democrat... - Says you? I don't know that much about him. I did recieve an email, and he stated he supported traditional values & RKBA. You say he is no Democrat? Maybe he is a Democrat who is willing to stand his ground and discuss and fight for what is right.
I have a continual question for the ('conservative') ex-Dems: - You weren't happy with the Dem Party, so you went to the GOP or elsewhere... Are you perfectly happy NOW! The Republicans are better, when they can effectively communicate their principles, and take a stand... When, they are not timid and making great effort to imitate Democrats, just to please the media and the electorate... Many are happy with GWB, & hopeful for Bill Simon. But I expect there are a lot of ex-Dem's that have had their share of nail-biting & ulcers over the actions of the sometimes whimpy GOP. Right?
Until Reagan came along, so-called moderates had just about ruined the California Republican Party. Earl Warren, Goody Knight, Tommy Kuechel et al. And don't give me Nixon, "We're all Keynesians today." California Republicans didn't invent me-tooism, but they sure fell in line.

I am right here fighting. I left the Democrats because their defense of Clintonism made me sick to my stomach. I clearly remember the day that I went down to the Registrat of Voters to change my registration. I couldn't bear another moment of being associated with the evil I was witnessing. The non-trial of Clinton in the Senate was a fitting example of what the Democrats will defend. I will never forgive what they did.
My switch made possible the victory of Bush over RINO McCain. There is no way that I could have any part in allowing Gore to be President of the United States. That man is one of the biggest fools I have ever seen. I am proud of Tennessee that enough of them saw through him.
That the Democrat leadership is wrong I agree. The reason that the everyday Democrat voter doesn't KNOW is because the biased media doesn't tell them. The media tells them lies by commission, omission, and innuendo.
During the election my local rag published pictures of Gore and Bush on the front page. Gore was above the fold, standing full figure in front of the flag... Bush was below the fold, face only, with an unhappy expression, and his picture was only about two thirds as large. An equally large picture of a man smoking a cigarette through a hole in his throat was next to Bush's picture.
That was long after I had cancelled my subscription. On seeing this garbage, I called a friend and talked him into cancelling. The decline of newspaper readership is, at least in part, caused by their insidious, nation-destroying bias.
