Ok Dems, Sit Down And Listen

Although I used to consider myself a democrat I will vote independent starting next election because our two party political system is broken. Both parties are at fault. I've already stated what I thought is wrong with the GOP. Here is what is wrong with the Dems. Our democratic leaders have succumb to the same forces as the GOP. Lobbying. Democrats are on the verge of becoming the party which blows which way the political wind blows. Dems have always lacked the bite to go with the bark. So they get steamrolled. Well, that's ok if you're getting the important things done. But you're not. At least the GOP throws it all on the table for the world to see. the Dems have made themselves a reputation of "Giving all that it takes to ge what they want". That's a nice way of saying you are selling us out. You have become so frustrated at not being able to get anything done because of the Republicans "Talk to the Hand" mentality that it appears you yourselves have given up. Because all the REALLY important things people need like health care are ending up at an impasse. Once you were above these games, now you are part of them. And if you keep going you will end up below them.
