Same poo being flung as in 2008 - what’s the common denominator????

As I just mentioned in a post over at JPR, I’ve spend recent years defending my party against people who insisted that both parties are the same. Seems I was the one who was mistaken.

It seems every day one of the candidates is playing dirty pool, lying and floating out trial balloons. Do Hillary supporters not get how much damage the HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN did to Obama by floating out “He’s a secret Muslim” bullshit? That because she was so hellbent on becoming the First Woman President that she would say anything to destroy her opponent, and that leant to a LOT of BULLSHIT that Obama had to overcome - and still hasn’t?

This isn’t Hillary’s party. This isn’t Debbie Wasserman Schultz party. This is OUR PARTY. ALL OF OURS.

IT’S NOT HER TURN UNLESS IT’S DECIDED FAIRLY AND SQUARELY BY THE AMERICAN VOTERS.

If you have something SUBSTANTIVE to say in opposition in opposition then fucking say it.

I’m fucking fuming over this shit.

They're distinct enough on a variety of issues to give the illusion of choice, and keep people divided up by 'team' and fighting against each other, rather than uniting against the people who have rigged the system ever since the creation of the country.

of the reason I can't support her this time around. I guess money forgives all because Obama seems to be supporting her now.

There are NO turns when it comes to POTUS. The people are not going to stand for a liar, who is bought and paid for by every fucking special interest in this country and elsewhere.

She may win the nomination, but my gut tells me that we will be looking at Trump or even worse; IMO Cruz, as president for the next four years, if that's the case.

I sincerely hope I am wrong.

This is OUR party and they can't co-opt it for their own purposes. We need to fight like hell to keep the Democratic Party democratic.

At least one time we took apart an old washing machine and found some socks in the innards.

I was just thinking about all the coathangers I have - and the socks missing mates. Coincidence?
