Message: <blockquote data-quote="TerryMiller" data-source="post: 1294467" data-attributes="member: 7900">I grew up in a Democrat family.  In the beginning, I was a registered Democrat.  However, beginning about 1968, I registered as a Republican but still voted for the candidate instead of the party.  In fact, I haven't seen a Democratic Party candidate, at least for president, that shared my beliefs since John F. Kennedy.Nowadays, with the leadership within the Democratic Party, I have to believe that to be a Democrat, especially one in Congress, one has to "toe the line" in order to get Democratic Party funding.  So, if a politician is like Dan Boren, he votes for Pelosi to get campaign funding.  He can say what he wants about his "political philosophy", if he toes the line, he has sold out his principles.While Jari Askins may be a very nice person, she is still a Democrat, subject to Democratic Party leadership demands, even on the state level.Sad to see, because I know of a lot of very ethical and sensible people that just won't change from the Democratic Party.  If they don't take their party back, then the Socialists will keep control..</blockquote>
