18. I'm so with you it's hard to bear.

Nov 2012

I just want you to know that even though I mentioned Pelosi, I'm about as aware of the things that did and didn't happen as anyone. I wanted Kucinich for president. But without going into a long diatribe, I just want to move the House to the left. I have to add that even though Dennis speaks for me more than Obama, they would have minced Kucinich. Whereas, Obama came out of the den intact.

I'm one for extremes. And it makes politics a disgusting thing for me. I hate compromise. I know how things could be. Yet it would appear that a Kucinich presidency would have been a big failure. Not because of us or him, but because of the emotional cripples that make up our right wing opponents. And I still think that's why America didn't impeach Bush, and even send him to the Hague.

So, back to idea of getting more House seats.

Cheers!
