99. Turn the cheek thing is in my nature. I am enormously forgiving

Wed Feb 13, 2013, 04:53 AM

Feb 2013

but I am also a committed activist. For me, Nixon sweating, Dukakis in a tank, Kerry surfboarding, Rubio drinking water is reality show entertainment. I don't care that Rubio looked the fool. And they are already spinning that to his advantage - Next Up On SNL! And we will look the fools for mocking the surface instead of criticizing the content,

As a lifelong committed activist I know that no one is my foe but rather they are a potential ally.

Keep me on your "mental list" Josh if you think it benefits you, DU, and the Democratic party. I'll just keep on keepin' on.
