I've been a life-long Dem, but they are losing me. But I was thinking...what's my plan B. Who would I support? The Green candidate? Ralph Nader? I remember giving some of my friends a hard time in 2000 for voting for Nader. I still feel that Gore would have won by a greater margin had Nader dropped out. But now, I'm feeling that the Dems will never change unless they feel the sting of total abandonment by the liberal wing of the party, and maybe not even then. Hillary does not stand a chance, and even if she did, I do not know that I can vote for someone who is so obviously moving to the right (support of flag burning amendment, failure to join in censure resolution, her position on Iraq, etc). It may just be politics as usual, but integrity must begin to matter at some point. Russ Feingold and the new Al Gore understand this and I think the 2008 campaign should be run on competency and integrity as values that have been abandoned by both parties, by the Rethugs much more so than the Dems. But still, what is everyone's plan B if the Dems do not recognize us and we continue to be disenfranchised?
