1. If the values are lacking the party means nothing

8. +1

And has no voters backing it.

2. Someone will be along soon to claim they're one and the same

In other words, lie.

[Fearless]

3. Everyone is entitled to their opinions

Such is life.

4. Democratic values are defined by the party

Values outside what the party expresses cannot, by definition, be Democratic Values.

6. Then endulge me... How do they change over time?

10. Democratic Values are defined by the PEOPLE who ARE the party. When the party

is taken over and attempts are made to turn the People's Values into Corporate Values, the People have some options.

10% of the Dem Party's registered voters chose the option of leaving the party.

5% of that number are now registered Independents. That demographic is now the largest voting bloc in the country for the first time in recent history at least.

The other option which WE have chosen to stay IN the party and make sure that ONLY candidates who still represent the People's Values get elected.

However, history has shown, and now voters are re-demonstrating, that when a Party refuses to represent the voters, the voters will eventually take care of things themselves.

Voters are patient, they will go along for a while, until it becomes very clear they are no longer represented by the Party.

Then things begin to change as they have in the past.

The infiltrators can either give up their attempt to take over the party for the Corporate Bosses, or they will be left with ONLY their corporate members. That's when they start losing, see the last two midterms. Thanks DWS.

7. (D) values: whatever it takes to win. (d) values, rule of the majority.

9. I define my Democratic values the Democratic party does not.

The Democratic party seems to have more in common on some issues with republicans than they do me.
