who looked at Reagan's inaction on AIDS and cheered for more death, voted for Reagan a second time then for Bush....Hillary looks better every day.
Warren should have explained herself long, long ago. We will not allow her to rewrite important history to sell her false narrative. If she can not speak about her past right wing toxicity, she deserves not one Democratic vote. If that means it's Hillary then so be it.

And why don't I recall you posting similar screeds about Hillary's vote that killed hundreds of thousands of innocents in Iraq, and her desire to kill more people in the Middle East today?

Interesting.

And not to make light of any disease... but how many Americans had died of AIDS when Reagan was re-elected in 1984? Among causes of death, how did it rank? Was there any reason to believe that the effort arrayed against it was was lower than for other diseases, adjusted for it's dangerousness?

Since the alternative is a lifelong anti gay Republican millionaire Reagan/Bush voter
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5797545

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

An undeserved, unfactual, disruptive, and over-the-top attack.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Nov 10, 2014, 04:04 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Waste of an alert.

Every time someone pushes the alert button a kitten dies. Please think of the kittens.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: A stupid post but not really ban worthy.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Unfactual isn't a word. Nonfactual? Prove it. If you don't like what's being said, leave the thread or prove them wrong. I'm not hiding just because you don't like what is being said.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Hillary refuses to announce; Warren has said any number of times that she is not running.

Sanders says he will run, if he sees support.

Ten others may still come forward, or not. We just don't know. It's way too soon to say it's going to be Hillary vs Warren, full stop.

In the end, the voters are needed. I don't think HRC should be annointed, nor do I think any candidate should be annointed by the party bigwigs, or the media. It's always good to have a vibrant primary, and no one should be insulting anyone who wants that. Once the candidate is selected, things change. Before that, the more the merrier.

I'm not going to self deport because of who I support and neither should anyone else. The idea that factions within the dem party would demand a purge after we lost so much on Tuesday to me sounds like a GOP plan.
