As Democrats of the Democratic Party, we are joining together in seeking reform within the Democratic Party.
Many of our elected representatives within the Democratic Party are no longer following in the time-honored footsteps laid down by the founding fathers of our great Nation. More importantly, we as democrats see our elected representatives within the Democratic Party abandoning the values and principles as set forth within the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
Nonetheless, this is only the beginning of our problems as Democrats, for the current Democratic Party leadership is tainted by corruption and being taken over by Socialists. These Socialists are clearly a threat to everything we hold sacred in America, and they are gaining evermore control over our Democratic Party, our Nation, and the American people.
Despite this, we as Democrats can restore control of the Democratic Party back to the party members. All we need to do is cut off donations to the local, state, and national headquarters of the Democratic Party, and to make sure the donations are made directly to patriotic and honorable Democratic Party candidates that are not corrupt and/or Socialist.

-Before commenting on the dem party, a little personal background:
-I was a dem from 1960-68. My party affiliation was based primarily on my youth, my family's political loyalties, my social position, my religious background, and my understanding of U.S. history and patriotism. In my mind, Johnson was teh last Dem politico that fit within my ideas of a dem.
-In 1980, I became a repub, ==partly driven there by Carter and partly drawn there by Reagan. However, Reagan was the last of my kind of repub.
-From 1990 to the present, I've been an independent.
-With the above as background of my understanding of the two parties, I ask, "What is a democrat today?" If dems, or even independents, want to turn away from Obama, to whom or what, to which dems, do they turn?
- Two generations of Americans only know dems primarily as being strong socialists, weak on national security, and having little economic sense. Like in all organizations, the dem leadership promotes only those who look a lot like themselves. I would suggest that those in today's dem party who want to turn away from present dem leadership have few in their party to turn to. A problem most Tea Party members recognize in their own move away from the repub party.
-Both present day parties are sad children of their forefathers.

Do you believe that both parties have become so polarized that they no longer represent the values of most 'traditional' dems and republicans?
Or is the polarization of the parties a reflection of how polarized our society has become?

Yes, Hound, I believe that neither party represents the views of its constituents. I believe that neither party sets the priorities of our nation above their party politics. I want to see political ambition supplanted by a resurgence of patriotism and reverence for the Constitution.
