>> I was a Dem in 1970.

I was, too -- but the Democrat party today does not resemble the one I supported back then.

The most striking thing to me is that Democrats today are not liberals. They're Democrats. It does not matter, one iota, what direction the party takes, these Democrats today are going to follow.

A popular Democrat can murder his wife and tejek, CJ, Al, and Bentway will still support him. And we have seen Obama stick with Bush policies in some cases that he adamantly opposed, yet these people still support him. I wouldn't have back then, and I wouldn't now.

Conservatives turned on Richard Nixon. Democrats will never, ever turn on barack obama. They may admit they don't like some of what he's done. But they'll never turn on him.

I had an argument with some idiot liberals today about Obamacare. The post that started it began with something like, "Obamacare was a horrible piece of legislation." Then, it went on to talk about how great it was.

I am also struck by the relative ignorance of today's liberals. When we were liberals I think most of the people I was around were relatively intelligent. Today, I'd hate to be a Democrat just because of the idiocy of the company it puts you in. You really have to be stupid to support some of the nonsense they've cooked up these days.
