Thanks for your response. I am curious as to why you believed that the
Democratic Party could be reformed toward a freedom-oriented platform
given that there is little difference as I have noticed in the DNC
platform and the RNC platform. The abortion issue is a major
difference betwixed the two platforms of those parties but very little
else is different in those platforms. They basically say the same
things but in different language. Why did you believe that there would
have been a better chance of reforming the Democratic Party and not
the Republican Party given that the differences between the two
parties are minimally marginal at best?
