On August 23rd I posted my very first diary titled, "I abandoned the Republican Party" I never dreamed it would go so dramatically viral - to date it has been share 35,200 times! As a "recovering Republican" I was still validating my decision, but I'm here to report that after that amazing DNC I KNOW I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION! The electrifying convention speakers reminded me that I must revise my diary list on why I abandoned the Republican Party. I won't rest until these important points are on the list. My wish for all my new liberal friends is that we hold tight to the momentum of the convention and don't let our enthusiasm fade. Below the scroll is my revised list and the first two I have added.
I abandoned the Republican Party because;
* They despise women and intend to make us second-class citizens -again!
* They have ignored our active military and disrespect our Veterans
* They have lost their moral compass
* They have made Greed their god
* They have turned their backs on the less fortunate
* They are pandering only to the 1% ultra rich
* They have abandoned the middle class and 99% of the American citizens
* They support bigots and racists
* They have lost sight of the true foundation of our country's Constitution
* They are incapable of dealing in a bipartisan manner for the good of the country
**I WOULD BE ASHAMED TO ADMIT I WAS A REPUBLICAN!
I know I am fully committed to do everything possible to see President Obama re-elected to One More Term because he fights for ALL the citizens of this fine country.
