unwinnable - South Carolina - how crazy is that - the guy who used funds to finance his trips to his mistress and other frauds is elected - seems no matter how much the facts are on our side, it is twisted and people vote for these less than qualified candidates - no matter how much money you throw at the problem or phone calls or petitions - congress is own by the right and corporations - so I give up - it is discouraging and reading the atrocities

A library with a decision room on Iraq - you have got to be kidding and our tax dollars go to partially support this and we pay this man who is a criminal

When they win the elections they win, when they lose the elections they win.

No matter what we always move to the right. To the point that the Democratic Party is the party of Reagan now and the Republican Party is the party of John Birch.

The whole thing was lost/given away in 1980 to thunderous applause in a landslide victory. The working class happily cut their own throats and have been throwing more corpses on the pile ever since.

I feel like a broken record reiterating these points over and over but I also think they can't be repeated enough.

Something has to break the spell over those in this party that can't see how bought off "our" elected officials have become.
