Goodbye and thanks for all the fish
   
I simpy cannot pretend to support any longer a President, Administration and Party that I believe have sold me out at every juncture on every single issue I care deeply and passionately about:

No real healthcare reform
No financial regulation, oversight or reform
Environmental concerns - faggeddabouttit
The need for bi-partisanship overriding the quality of end product (?)
No concern about the Rule of Law - the actually underpinning of any real society
Worker's issues - living wages, healthcare, etc.

They don't care about me - I don't care about them. Pretty simple. My self-identity and worth is not dependant on whether I am a "good Democrat" or a "loyal Democrat". Same for DU. I am NOT a good and loyal Democrat because I am appalled at what is going on and I don't rationalize or excuse it with "It would be a lot worse if THEY were in power". Not good enough.

For people who may doubt my sincerity - I have posted here almost exactly 5 years, 10,000 posts. I came here after Kerry's loss in 2004 and found this as the place where Democrats regrouped and re-strategized. I have voted straight Democratic ticket since 1980 in every single race - primary, local, state and federal. I have contributed and have had yard signs.

I'm done. Over and out

1. Sorry to see you go.
   
Take care Phoebe. No one can fault you for staying true to your ideals.

3. This is the time we need you the most
   
You think I'm not disappointed? You think I'm not chomping at the bit for real change? This party is at a crossroads, and now's the time for you to stay in. I sure as hell will

22. Because my little voice might count in a small way
   
Why not let everyone know exactly why I am leaving the site and the party?

Would you prefer that people just stop showing up at the polls or posting here?

I'm leaving voluntarily because I don't honestly feel I can advance a Democratic agenda any longer, because I don't feel they are advancing mine. My understanding is that this is a "pro-Democrat" site. Which was fine by me - until recently. I cannot honestly say I am "pro-Democrat" anymore. Why should I be "pro-Democrat"? What's in it for me - or the rest of our society?

Is Phoebe due to report to start serving her sentence?

There's the heart and soul of the democrat party, "What's in it for me?"

Nothing about honor, family, certainly not God; me, me, me.
