When my oldest son, a Marine, left for war and crossed the border from Kuwait into Iraq in March 2003 I started writing my conscience. After two tours that young combat veteran’s mother is now an ardent peace activist and advocate for social, environmental and economic justice.
MGx has matured since those early vents and ramblings and now covers relevant and important local and regional matters in addition to national and global affairs.
I hear you, and I feel your pain. Things are not going swimmingly in my mind either, but next election we will have a choice and the difference will be stark, and the worst thing for progressive’s, as we both are, would be to sit on our hands, because we didn’t like the choice. From Hillary’s past, I can see that she is a liberal, more so than Bill, and even though she is not my choice, by far, I will work hard for her if she is our nominee, as I would hope you would too.
Unlike your best friend, I still see hope for you, and I won’t give up, because I see you as such an asset.
Politics, is the name of the game, and the Clinton’s are the best at playing.. that’s why she’s leading in the polls.
.
What proof do I have that she is ‘playing politics’ and ‘progressive’? Her words and actions do not support your statement, buck. Playing politics is the problem for those of us who would just like to be able to hear what someone says and not have to navigate through a maze to determine that they are really progressive.
Honestly, being played by a politician does not make me want to vote for any of them
so if Hillary is nominated you’ll vote for Thompson, or whoever the repugs nominate, will that be better? Hillary is playing politics now, trying to not look liberal, and trying to look tough, but in her heart she is progressive.. not as progressive as I’d like, but a damn site more than whoever her opponent might be. To say that there is no difference between the two parties is ludicrous. You haven’t said that yet… but you’re thinking.
how so? Twenty years of family rule is what I see if Hillary is elected – GOP or DLC ….
Then again after the hearings yesterday it is hard to see much difference between the GOP and your beloved Dems. Damn them, they are not following the will of the people, buck
If they don’t have the votes then they should duct tape seem repub senators and hold them in the bathroom, strong arm some blue dogs they HAVE to start playing tough
