To Hell with the DNC and the RNC!

I sure am hearing from a lot of jaded and long-time members of the Democratic Party. More and more of them are declaring that they realize, the party isn't representing what they wanted and believed. More are saying that they are leaving the party and pulling their support from it. Many of these people are Kucinich supporters that are open to voting their conscience where a lot of them have blindly voted along party lines for years.

Way to go! Democratic Party Puppeteers! If alienating your party's voters is what you wanted, then you're getting it. I understand why the Dem Party masters are salivating over the lack of enthusiasm for Republican candidates from Republican voters. Of course, these Democratic party controllers aren't thinking clearly, or they're holding out on knowledge of the obvious fact that Ron Paul (a libertarian Texan that is running on the Republican Party ticket) is attracting voters that are Republican, alternative party members, non-partisan and some registered Democrats.

I don't blame these people. I never forgot the years when I was learning why the Democrats were compromising and only giving crumbs to the burdened and humbled masses that turned to this party for help. I realized as a teenager that most politicians in the Democratic Party were occasionally throwing pacifiers our way while doing things which contradicted what the people really needed and wanted.

I started out like many others, blaming everything on those rigid and heartless Republican old farts and their younger apprentices. I can't speak for anybody else, but if ever I've been seriously confused, or was lying to myself, I eventually snap out of it.

You know, I really haven't ripped on the corporate candidates that are running on the Dem Party ticket. I refer to the candidates that get celebrity treatment of A List standards by the corporate media which has provided these candidates (and some Republicans) with an ongoing infomercial every time this mockery of an election is mentioned by entertainment industry insiders that pass themselves off as genuine journalists of the professional variety.

It is time that I did rip on those other candidates. To be sure, after one of them becomes the Democratic nominee, I won't spare them and devote my criticism to the Republican opponent. Nope. That's now how a truly patriotic American that appreciates and wants REAL DEMOCRACY behaves.

To hell with the DNC and the RNC! They exploit everything good about this country and destroy it.

I voted for Dennis in the Michigan primary. Felt good but it didn't matter one whit. He came in with about 4% of the vote and the Dem's votes don't count anyway...

*sigh*

How do you feel about this exclusion? Is it worth seeking effective ways to put the DNC on notice?

A lot of Michigan Kucinich supporters have told me that they're writing in Dennis Kucinich on their ballot in November. They're mad as hell at the DNC. Some others explained that they were going to vote for an alternative candidate, either Independent, or Green. A few are planning to vote for Ron Paul if he gets the Republican nomination.

The ones that are going the Green direction are planning to vote for former Democratic US House Rep. Cynthia McKinney, who left the Dem party within the last two years.

Paul is about 180 degrees polar opposite of me. Vote for a bigot? I think not.

Cynthia McKinney? She's done nothing to get on my radar screen but scream at a Congressional security guy. I have no reason to vote for her.

I'm certainly not sending my vote to someone who might pull a half of one percent in a write-in campaign. Sounds downright stupid to me.

I'm working locally. It's the only way to make a difference for someone like me.
