After watching the CNN discussion of Nevada

I'm afraid my husband has reached his limit. He thinks this country is hopeless, corrupt, etc. He just left to go upstairs to watch hockey. He's pissed!

Edited to say: He thinks it's clear both the media and our party are corrupt.

removed himself from the party and is now unaffiliated. I will likely be joining him soon. I have been unaffiliated for most of the last 16 years. No more DNC mail would be nice. I can just as easily support Dems from this position as I can from the party whose leadership I do not respect or care for and have not for some time. I like being able to support a candidate without having to deal with all the rest of it.

I know, a traitor and foul independent, someone without dignity or right to belong to DU (wrong, at least it always has been OK to be a free lance liberal as long as you follow the rules).

As soon as the primary is over I will be refiling as a non-affiliated voter.
