“In good conscience, however, I can’t continue to call myself a Democrat.”
Where was his good conscience thirty or forty years ago?

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.

“Where has ours been for the last twenty years?”

Hoping that the population would not fall for the leftist line.
