Many Democrats prefer Clinton over Warren for president because the Clinton name is already

130. I do realize the necessity of having the backing of the Congress for the president to get things

done. I've referred several times in my posts to the journalistic exaggeration of describing
the president as "the most powerful man in the world," when he plainly isn't. Our
system of checks and balances were made to ensure that no one person, or even a group
of individuals, should get too much power.

It's also important for the Democrats to make sure that the American people know
each time that the GOP prevents a bill from being passed -- especially those bills involving
protection of the people from the predatory habits of the corporations.

Do you realize that most of the Republican masses really believe that Democrats are responsible
for the economic mess that our nation is in? They've swallowed every lie of their masters - hook
line and sinker!

I have to say this, Democrats in general can't be bothered to reply very much to Republican lies.
Republicans, I am sure, must be very appreciative of this. It makes things so much easier for
them to keep the Republican masses misinformed! And Democrats have to take part of the blame
for the great success of the GOP'S propaganda and campaign of lies, and keep their masses of
followers ignorant and under their control.

We must point it out - loud, long and clear - each time they lie, and tell the truth.

Another thing. Electronic voting machines have been around since 2000. I'm willing to bet
they will still be used in 2016. The same Democratic attitude prevails: most of us
can't be bothered to fight for abolishing the machines. We can no longer use "lack of time" as
an excuse.

And we suffer the results!! We reap what we have sown -- disaster at the polls!!
And even at the elections we've won, the actual margins are very likely much larger.

We are the enablers of the GOP to commit fraud at the polls. This is a form of self-destruct!

All of the above comes from the "I-don't-want-to-be-bothered" attitude, which seems to be
so prevalent among us Democrats. That's why the GOP is so often winning - even with their
lies, and we are so often losing - even with truth on our side!

We do have truth on our side, but we seldom use it -- even when lies concerning us are
being told! Sounds crazy, doesn't it? But can we deny that statement?

Come on, Democrats! Wake up, and let's get out of our sate of lethargy!
