What is there about the word NO that Hillary refuses to understand?

The message we want to impart is to deny Republican WH residence in 2009. Are we beginning to support a particular Democratic candidate for president?

No, the primary’s have NOT been held, the voting has NOT started, and well . . . NO!

Although, many folks would like us to believe it’s over. And HRC is a victim . . . . pure elitist fuckery.

I sometimes think the Democratic Party is less of a “Big Tent” than a “Big Top” (as in circus) but it’s the closest thing we got to a party that gives a sh*t about the principles that separated this nation from the rest of the pack in the last century. I can’t believe we’re even discussing things like the legitimacy of waterboarding and retroactive immunity for telcos.</p> Welcome John.

My name is dosido and I too am a former Republican. My family is still republican and quite rabid. I just quit the GOP recently, although I have described myself as an independent for years.

I registered this year as a Dem at a recent Farmer’s Market in SLO and felt reborn. I have all the zeal of someone who has recently quit smoking, which is to say I want to go out and encourage everyone to register in the reality party.

Anyway, happy recovery.

I hope he doesn’t get a case of buyer’s remorse when he finds out that Demos are purchased people, just like Repugs. But in the case of Repugs, they feel free to slice the throats of their supporters, whereas Demos feel that they’ve been honestly bought, and must therefore support and defend their purchasers.

(Sorry, it’s the single malt scotch. Shoulda hada margarita I guess).

The other day Andy Stern asked me who I was supporting for President, and I said I really don’t support any of them. The way I look at it is, “who do I want to fight for the next 8 years.” Each candidate would represent a different battle, but I think we’ll be fighting any of them.

He laughed and thought that was a good way to look at it.
