Due to controversy over its leaders’ support for “gay marriage,” as well as concerns about religious freedom and the defense of the unborn.
“There comes a time when you have to stand on what you believe in,” said Greg Waggoner, sheriff of Leake County, Miss. “And I can no longer have any connection with the Democratic Party if that’s the route they’re going to take.”
He said that the Democratic Party took an “extreme left turn” when its national leaders “endorsed same-sex marriage” in recent weeks, presenting a direct conflict with his faith and allegiance to Christ.
Other states – particularly those in the South – have had a similar experience, as Democrats are exiting the party at a significant rate. The shift is being attributed to increasingly liberal stances by leaders of the Democratic Party. ... This support for “same-sex marriage” was a concern for Rick Murphrey, mayor of Kings Mountain, N.C., and prominent Pennsylvania committeewoman Jo Ann Nardelli, both of whom were lifelong Democrats before they recently switched their party affiliation to Republican.
We all knew this was going to happen, but Obama IMO was desperate to get a lot of wealthy gays to donate.
A balancing act that shows Obama has no core beliefs beyond what gets him reelected IMO (which he will NOT do).
LOL, I know a lot of democrats and none of them have left the democratic party.
We have tons of friends for business, clients, and our many good friends. Have friends from both party's.
However not making this up either, won't do that. Most of the democrat friends i have, have never been happy with this administration, this President, and the way they conduct business.
Not happy with the many excuses made for a number of reasons, without coming up with solutions. They are not happy with Obama. They will say to me, when we voted for him, we liked him and believed in him.
No longer can we support him, with what we have seen of him.
And he bamboozled us about his vision for this Country to bring each and everyone of us Hope n' Change.
I think people are just tired of this administration, and President. And the nonesense.

""....no core beliefs..."
You hit the nail on the head. This guy is as empty inside as a forlorn atheist.
Obama's contraception mandate and his 'evolution' on gay marriage has alienated a serious voting constituency of late for the Democrats (Catholics). He will feel it come November.

Shocker. The ultra conservative religious theocrats are leaving the slightly more liberal party. Why is this news?
Half the entire Democratic party defected to Republican in the 60s.
