Right after the Indiana primary, she was throwing around baseless accusations of election fraud in Gary. Until she apologizes for that, nobody should give her the time of day.
From time to time I'm reminded that we aren't battling the Repugs, this is just bickering within the family. Well, maybe more bloody than bickering but it's still within the family.
Think about it...we are arguing about who will do better at getting universal health care, not about whether we should have it.
Arguing about who will get us out of Iraq faster, not about whether we should leave, about who will do more to enact fair trade, who will fix public education.
I get so angry sometimes I forget that if I had a political (non-candidate-based) conversation with someone like Alegre or even TexasDarlin we would both be nodding our heads and agreeing about what is wrong and what we should do going forward.
I don't believe Alegre is a racist, I hope she doesn't think I'm sexist. We just chose different candidates but for the same reasons...fix everything that has been broken over the last eight years.
If the whole country was packed into a gigantic gymnasium for a game of (shudder) dodge ball and the PE teacher said 'Okay, liberals line up on the left and conservatives on the right', Alegre and TexasDarlin and maybe even DTaylor would line up on my side of the gym. We'd all be lobbing balls at the pathetic conservative team and high-fiving each other when we hit one.
Democrats have a lot of pent up anger we have been harboring for years now. I hate to see us burn it off before the election has even started or we won't have the energy for the GE we have expended in the primary. The republicans want that to happen.
