In good conscience, however, I cant continue to call myself a Democrat.
In becoming an independent, I think Im maintaining the independent (dare I say, libertarian?) mindedness and patriotism that my parents endowed me with. For the countrys sake and for their own, I hope the Democrats wake up.
I am also hopeful that we, the people, will wake up and strongly feel, with heart and soul, what my family always instilled in me and what is sadly absent in many of todays political leaders: the love, the appreciation and an unapologetic pride of being an American.

Winston Churchill said it best:
"If, when you are young and you are not a liberal you have no heart. However when you are older and are not a conservative you have no brains."

in other words, Joe was just a dumb bass lo info voter until now.
Way to go Joe!!!! Way to buy into all the liberal bullsh-t about what conservatives and Republicans are. Way to be intellectually 12 until now.
Who knew Joe was a racist...?
on what planet?
Earth, before 1968.
Better late than NEVER!
I come from a Democratic household in Jersey City NJ. As a youngster I continually read the Jersey Journal, The Hudson Dispatch , and the NY Daily News.
My father was a captain in the JCFD. He was turned down for Deputy Chief because his views began to change.
The family retired to the Jersey Shore and I became a volunteer firefighter.
Once away from Hudson County my Dad's views began to change.
He died when I was 23. It took me till the age of 30 to see what he was beginning to see.
At the age of 34 I started the first conservative theater companies ever in the State of NJ.
Dennis Miller, Victoria Jackson, Rob Schneider, and now Piscipo. Moving rightwards.
Joe does a good job in a 2001 version of ‘Bartleby’, with Crispin Glover in the title role. The theme music was done on a Theremin.
Collectively, these “brilliant, intellectual, geniuses” have done so much damage to so many individuals that it defies any sense of forgiveness.
Let them all wallow in their regret. But, if they have any sense of justice, they should leave non-progressives alone, move to a socialist paradise, and spare everyone their self-indulgent, emotional wallowing.

Where has ours been for the past twenty years?
It's especially obvious now, but the Republican party has never [in my political lifetime] been about upholding its platform planks.
The pushing of McCain and Romney woke me to it; and their behavior on things such as the border, the NSA, the IRS, the FBI/ATF/DEA/ICE operation Fast and Furious cement my conviction that they have no intention of honoring any of their platform planks.
I no longer will cast a Republican vote because the other guy's worse
— instead I will find someone I can vote for. He doesn't have to be perfect, but he has to value/understand/respect the Constitution.
Take back Vanessa Redgrave...but maybe we’ll keep Joe Piscopo.
(Isn’t he from Joisey?)
Back then, liberal Democrats thought that the Party still represented them. They could not have imagined in their wildest dreams, and would not have believed it if realists like Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan had warned them, that their party had been effectively taken over by the "liberal wing" of the Party, which was and remains actually a tightly organized group-within-a-group run out of KGB Active Measures and clustered around old Stalinists like George McGovern and a tight group of moles like Sens. William Fulbright and John Kerry and, later on, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
The Democratic Party has been a Trojan horse for the Communist International for 43 years.
No. He was part of a cadre of Stalin's men who mounted the rump, breakaway Democratic convention in, um, I think it was 1948. McGovern was a delegate at that rump convention, and the presidential candidate of the same group of people in 1972. He was always their guy, and he had to know what he was doing. Nobody, but nobody, is that stupid.
Joe, a comedian? Who knew? I remember him on SNL, awful.
Him and “ I ‘m Al Fanken”. Bottom of the barrel.
A good piece, except for Joe’s thinking that FDR cared for the people. He didn’t. He was, IMHO, the worst kind of demagogue, ultimately screwing the people with burdens like Social Security. He was the original leftist emperor, the kind of lineage our current president seeks to enjoy.
“The Democratic Party has been a Trojan horse for the Communist International for 43 yers.”
And that ever-increasing 40 percent of the electorate loves the idea of Communism and will vote for hard-core leftists until doomsday.
