(30 posts)I am a person who remembers not being able to vote for gore. I watched as bush destroyed the country I was taught existed, then I voted for Obama's promise of change, and became more disillusioned when he continued so many of the programs.
I despise obfuscation by any politician, and demand transparency that is never attained. I advocate voraciously for president Obama to either start the prosecution or pardoning of the bush administration officials who have revealed publicly that they took part in the authorization or the war crimes.
I am a registered republican, gun owner, atheist, who supported Ron Paul in the Iowa primary, knowing that he was the only reasonable candidate who would force the discussion of actual issues, not frothy and his birth control, or look how awkwardly Mormon mitt is. (I am too much of a socialist to agree with his views on SS and medicare, but the libertarian in me thinks auditing the fed on a regular basis and ending the police state drug war / war on terror are all great ideas)
I will be soon a volunteer for the Obama reelection, and working to see as many progressives get elected as possible. "Do I contradict myself, very well then I contradict myself, I am the measure of all things." W.W.
