Some Footprints in the DU Sandbox
Posted by TahitiNut in General Discussion: Presidential

As I've stated far too many times, I voted for Kucinich (and it didn't "count") and support him. It's because he took policy stances that I agreed with 95-98% of the time. I see only a very slight difference between the policy stances of Obama and Clinton - far, far less in agreement with my values than Kucinich's. I do, however, see a marked difference in the campaigns and ephemerals. I also see a difference in the KEY stances taken in the past, particularly in IWR, Kyl-Lieberman, bankruptcy, NAFTA, and PNTR. I'm NOT an Obama groupie ... but I'm far less inclined to support Clinton for the aforementioned reasons.

The cheap shots against EITHER candidate (i.e. "he looked like he was gonna cry" or "she sobbed") betray a mentality that I abhor in politics. That doesn't mean I won't fling a bit of poo at those employing such tactics. I will. I'm NOT running for office.

So, why didn't Hillary say something like that? Why wasn't SHE wearing the flag pin? Why the FUCK does she think SHE'S privileged? I tire of the "don't pick on girls" crap. I tire of her "Poor Nell" act.

Justice ...
Justice is the only worship.
Love is the only priest.
Ignorance is the only slavery.
Happiness is the only good.
The time to be happy is now,
The place to be happy is here,
The way to be happy is to make others so.
