tried to convince me that Lincoln would have kept slavery to save the Union.
Still don't know if he was right, and I don't care.
It was an abomination, and it had to go.
One of the very great things about the South
Is the people who fought for their rights.
That's the greatest.
Screw you, JEB! nt
Of course she is not going to commit herself this early.
I think that's great, and you can see I'm a Bernie supporter.
She will do the best for the people as she sees it. Good enough for me.
The first post was a good question/comment,
and I'm a Bernie supporter.
The second post was hilarious.
I'm glad you're back.
On closer reading and edit, I'm glad you're out of limbo. Please come back!
I hope it is true.
Where did Lawrence v TX come from? Us. Where did Roe v Wade come from? Us. Where did LBJ (with all his issues, a great man) come from? Us. Where did Ann and Molly and Annise come from? Us. Hell, where did Bill Moyers come from? Us.
I have formulated an opinion about the TPP
I think President Obama has been convinced, or threatened, that the world economy will crash without it. And that that must be kept secret from us peons, or the mere rumor will crash it.
I don't think he is a bad man. As a matter of fact, I'd like to hug his neck and thank him for a number of things.
One thing I do know - corporations have too much power.
I am sorry that she was bullied while she was overweight,
But I don't see how this reaction to that is useful.
If it's for her vanity or whatever, that's her right, but I have my right to my opinion of it.
Edited to add that I grew up in the Kennedy fitness years and loathed the coercion aspect. It's why I hate most exercise to this day, and get my back up at the mere implication of "jock."
Thoughts regarding "middle America"
Another good idea from Washington Monthly - actually, I think this idea would work for everybody!

In recent years, too many Democrats have presumed that the white working class is out of the partys reach and that talk of reforming government and the political process simply does not move voters. My contention is that both of those presumptions are wrong. An agenda of reform is the key to Democrats winning the greater share of white working-class and unmarried women votes that will give the party the majorities it needs to govern.
A new campaign finance idea - I like it.
Rep. John Sarbanes (not *that* Sarbanes - that's his father), D-Maryland.

I wasn't able to get all the details into four paragraphs, although I tried my best - please, go read the whole thing!
Among other things, he tells the story (not excerpted here) of how he tried something similar on his own hook two cycles ago, and how that worked out.
