Obama backer, Artur Davis, leaves Democratic party. Really? Why?

And liberal will throw him

Maybe he finally wised up.

A democrat has finally seen the truth? Unbelievably!

"Davis was the sole member of the Congressional Black Caucus to vote against Obama’s healthcare reform legislation in 2010. He also ran a relatively conservative campaign for the governorship of Alabama in 2010" In other words, Davis is a conservative at heart, but because of the intense peer pressure from other blacks to be a democrat, he threw away his core beliefs just to fit in. Obama's clear statist ideology shook the scales from this man's eyes.

Who cares? It was his decision, so live with it.

He didn't like the idea of being taxed hefty by beng riich. So he is saying asta la vista King Oduma,

he must have gotten tired

Don't know. Never met the guy, but I don't blame him for leaving the democratic party either.

Perhaps there will be more like him.

Maybe he fed up with all of the Marxist that are taking over the Democratic party.

Wow, very damning of Obama and the dems!

Wow. An honest Democrat (or former, I should say)

As I've said before, they are waking up slowly but surely

An honest man. He says it like it is.

“On the specifics, I have regularly criticized an agenda that would punish businesses and job creators with more taxes just as they are trying to thrive again,” he said. “I have taken issue with an administration that has lapsed into a bloc by bloc appeal to group grievances when the country is already too fractured: frankly, the symbolism of Barack Obama winning has not given us the substance of a united country.”

Because most of those who called themselves Democrats are really Marxist Socialists. Davis sees that and knows that the Party has left him.

Because he just woke up?

He is irrelavent, does not change opinions on Obama.

You are correct. I still think he's our bastard in chief.

Some liberals are awakening that Obama etal are muchmore than just liberals.

Figured out his head was up his a...?

So........People leave things all of the time..values and change and you grow in different. It is o.k. to leave. Are we afraid the whole Democratic Party will crumble? Not, go about your business nothing has changed.

Because it sucks?

His record of opposition to specific democratic tactics of polarizing and using the black vote are well known and something he's mentioned before. The article reveals it was one of the first things he mentioned when he was asked why.

“I have taken issue with an administration that has lapsed into a bloc by bloc appeal to group grievances when the country is already too fractured: frankly, the symbolism of Barack Obama winning has not given us the substance of a united country.”

He has also been a visible opponent of Obamacare, and the party abused him over that. As he mentions: “On the specifics, I have regularly criticized an agenda that would punish businesses and job creators with more taxes just as they are trying to thrive again”.

So those are two reasons. Probably also some overtures from the Republicans.

A RECRUITMENT COUP BY THE GOP? PERHAPS THE OBAMA TEAM DIDN'T COME THROUGH ON PROMISES MADE? HW WANTS TO BE TO THE GOP WHAT OBAMA IS TO DEMOCRATS? WHI KNOWS? WHO CARES?

he doesn't believe in parties? Haven't several people done this? is it a problem?

Jon Huntsman, Nathan Fletcher, Michael Fumento, Arlen Specter - lots of repubs have left their party recently too... Davis was talking about leaving years ago when he lost his gubernatorial bid.

Jo Ann Nardelli also.

Smart and enlightened.

Smart man who's able to see the truth, sure wish the rest of the Obamabots were as observant.
