Reply #39: I agree somewhat, Cheswick

But the party leaders have been increasingly hostile to the idea of members having any say in how things go. The best example of this is the insiders' support of Roemer for chair- a conservative, anti-choice, DLCer in charge of the DNC- despite the groundswell of support for another candidate. Pro-war, anti-choice, pro-corporate, anti-gay, and anti-reform. Why do we need a Democratic party if it is simply going to adopt the republican platform?

I'm not registering with another party yet. But if I ever do, it will be because the Democratic party left me, not that I left it.
