truly tasteless

I used to be a Democrat. Heck, I used to be mildly socialist. Now, I've come to consider myself a Classical liberal with a libertarian bent (not the crypto-anarchist type). I don't consider myself a knee-jerk Republican. In fact, I'm more inclined to cross party lines than any Democrat I know who would rather gouge out their own eyes with a rabid badger than vote for the elephant. However, I simply cannot vote for this party. Please, stop the politics at a person's funeral. Today's Democrats have the taste of a rice cake, the class of a pig-calling contest and the decorum of a fraternity trip to a strip club. I'm no fan of Republicans, but I just cannot pull the lever for a party which seeks to politicize EVERYTHING. Honor the person and say what you want afterwards. Don't use the platform to score a few cheap political shots. Bush (as did Clinton by reminding people why they were there) showed so much more class than Lowery or the biggest disgrace in national history, President Carter. Carter is an excuse for a man with a twisted, meglomaniacal soul.
Please, Democratic party, dump these 60's wastoids and become a serious party again. Stop acting as though sticking it to the man is anything more than an adolescent fantasy. Please, act like adults. Thank you.
