16. Democrat
Edited on Thu Aug-21-03 04:01 AM by jfkennedy
I was a Democrat until the 2000 election. I am a Democrat at heart because a genuine democracy at its best is exercised by liberals that belong to the Democratic Party. For me Democracy is much more then voting for Republican Democrats. When I watched the stealing of the election and not one of my representives said anything in protest after the Supreme court decision and then on top of it all in party unity voted for everyone one of Bush's laws, I knew that my leaving the party was wise because the party had left me and democracy itself years ago. What I was watching on TV during the 2000 election and the few days after was exactly how they were running my country like cowards and thieves whom have taken our constitution and sold it to the highest bidder.

For me democracy at it's best is simply to be friendly to others, to respect liberty which is to be able to express ones opinion no matter how much it offends the majority, and freedom.

A very simple formula they wrote about more then 200 years ago.

Only a non-violent revolution can bring back our democracy that has been stolen from us.
