33. I remember that, in the 80's, many elected Democrats left
the Democratic Party and joined the Republican Party, we called them Boll Weavils where I come from. These people gave over control of the Legislative Branch to the Republicans. They supported Republican efforts to destroy the revolution in Nicaragua and to kill thousands of people in Guatamala and El Salvador. Many Democrats supported bombing Iraq all through the 90's and they supported the illegal "war" we are now involved in. These days they don't even bother to change parties, they are now "non-partisan". They vote against the rights of women, they voted to suspend the Constitution with an act they didn't even read. The list could go on and on.

I celebrate those who don't "go along to get along" and who actively oppose as many have recently done as in the "Energy Bill" and the Medicare Fiasco.

There were many illegal acts carried out in the last two national elections and these acts are the main reason for the elections being "so close". Who has called for a real investigation of the destruction of the Voting Rights Act across the South or the "loss" of hundreds of thousands of votes in areas where Democrats vote. Do we actually have a party?
