WHAT DO DEMOCRATS STAND FOR?

Everyone knows I a conservative / Republican. But over the years I have voted for a few Democrats at various levels of government. This year and for the foreseeable future I will not consider voting for a Democrat. To explain why, I will look at what the Democratic Party and its leadership stand for.

The following represents positions a liberal believes in and supports according to Conservapedia:

1. Large / Larger Government
2. Taxpayer – funded abortion
3. Government-rationed and taxpayer-funded medical care (Socialized Medicine)
4. Same-sex marriage or unions
5. Censorship of prayer in classrooms and school sponsored events
6. A “living Constitution” that is reinterpreted, thwarting the amendment process specified in the Constitution as written
7. Opposition to a strong American foreign policy
8. Support of obscenity and pornography as a First Amendment right
9. Opposition to full private property rights
10. Promoting liberal deceit if it advances their goals

I would add a couple of items of my own to this list:

1. A lack of support for operation Iraqi Freedom and our military; Cut and run
2. Open borders

It is no secret, that the Democratic Party is presently controlled by the extreme left. This means that they support the above positions all of the time.

Every Democrat we vote for adds to the power of the party leadership. The only way to get change in the Democratic Party is to not vote for any Democrat candidate regardless of his stated position on any of these issues until the party leadership changes significantly.

Voting for Obama just adds one more extreme liberal to the party leadership. He has the most liberal voting record of any Senator. That does not change anything and only adds to the problem.
