Reply #14: Kentuck- I already don't like [View All]

a lot of what the Party has done- what I see as distancing themselves from the "core values" as you describe (livable minimum wage, rights to health care, etc). I worked hard for Kerry primarily because the thought of 4 more years of Bush was horrifying. If we don't have a tangible evil on the other side to unite us, the Party will lose a WHOLE lot of folks unless their agenda is clearly different from what the R's offer. Before I abandon the Party (or accept that it has abandoned me) I will let everyone in any position of local Democratic leadership know how I feel. When I am done screaming my fool head off I will look at the other options if I can't live with the direction of the D's. I don't feel any obligation to remain loyal for loyalty's sake.
