9. your attitude is scarey
Edited on Thu Jul-08-10 01:33 PM by SargeUNN
I lived in Mississippi for over half a century and I heard that same line over and over each year I lived there. As one would expect the Democrats didn't put out that different of a candidate because the fact was everyone figured each party was the same so why bother. The candidates that would make a difference became unable to make a difference and their supporters got mad and gave up. Look at Mississippi and see how well it worked. Katrina, Oil Gusher and still their elected officals do nothing because they won't support anyone since it doesn't matter and good potential candidates won't run because they know the ones they would need are set in the idea why bother.

We might not get enough to make a difference but we can work to get what progress we can as we also work to get more candidates who will do it, but this attitude only secures the right will continue to control and we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
