Dominionism: This is what is at the heart of any discussion of "the Family" and Michael Coe

[nadinbrzezinski]

47. I have been involved in Social Justice

and poverty issues since I was 18 years old.

And I will keep my promise. I will not vote for her. She scares me, and I will vote my values.

But the peek we got into the Family (and you have more and more of these types percolating up through government) lead me to think we are well on our way (I will argue we might already be there anyway) to fascism.

Don't get me wrong, she has done good things. She was one of the people involved in investigating Watergate and the right has hated her ever since. The avatar of the GOP is not just a pretty picture, they have long memories. And they do not forgive... or forget.

She has broken many ceilings and has been ahead of her time in some things. But the last 15 years give me a lot of pause, and that includes her voting record in the US Senate. I am not jumping into a decision without lack of information. I will do the same careful research with every other candidate that runs for the Dems. And if I find that I can support none, well I guess I will vote for the least horrible of them, just to keep in practice.

Oh and I will stay away from political hagiography by the way.

But where we are moving as a nation is damn scary. And this is precisely the kind of discussion we used to have on DU, and we no longer do. I respect those who wish to vote for her, and will work for her nomination, but I will fight them, when they start with the usual, but she is inevitable talk. That actually is the reason why I do not think she will be the nominee, and we'd better start looking at Stage Left to see who is entering the fray. One of the reasons she did not in 2008 the elections came, people were damned tired of Hillary and the pundits. And she is doing it again, learning she did not.
