There are racists, there are violent fighters, there are haters. Most of them find comfort in the Republican party, if they vote at all, because they feel like the certain Republicans are supporting their hate-filled ideals.

But that is a segment of the population that isn't the majority. It's not even close to a majority. There are more homosexuals in America than there are red-hot racists.

Most people are worried. Worried. Scared. Nervous. They feel persecuted.

We need a powerful, confident, charismatic figure to step in and say "We'll get through this." There is definitely a window of opportunity for such a person.

The hatred of the Republican machine, like any virus, is eating into itself. It cannot sustain the hate and vitriol. Hillary Clinton's nomination would contribute much to its salvation, for example.

I don't want the left to eat into itself, either.

I try to think about what it was like to think about America on September 12th, 2001. On that day, I was freakin' glad that Rudy Guiliani was talking to America because George Bush was non-existent, sure. But I also didn't care about ideologies. I just loved my country.

I want to bring that feeling back. I don't give a cr*p about the Republican platform or their power. I love my country, and I know it works best when we have a strong middle class and an outlet for the extremely poor. We work best not when Paris Hilton has a tax break but when the working classes feel like they have some upward mobility. That is the secret of our society, and if we're not careful the Republicans will simply take that away.

God I am so glad that I am not Republican. Man, at least I have that. How they reconcile themselves with their God, I don't know, but then again, I never understand how white people in South Africa justified apartheid, either.

Black Republicans have no idea what being a Republican means.

Anyway, although I digress, as much as I despise the ignorance and stupidity of the American people, I do not believe that people are stupid. They are afraid and many of them collapse into survival mode, but they are not stupid.

If anything, I'm pissed at the DLC for being unable to talk to these fearful people on their own level. The Democratic Party, the party of Huey Long and...others is completely incapable of relating to the average working person. And that is just about the dumbest form of stupid.

What the hell is wrong with the Democratic Party?

I'm not sure what it is, exactly, but I'm pretty sure the answer is NOT Hillary Clinton.
