12. "half the population supports fascism under the name of the GOP/ Koch/ LIbertarian cabal"

I disagree with the percentage (although I'm certain they'll disagree with me) that half of the population supports fascism disguised as GOP/Koch/Libertarian issues. Polls have shown that a super-majority of Americans are liberal. In addition to very liberal social issues winning even in red States last year, this super-majority support having wealthier Americans pay more taxes in order to pay down the Federal Gov't's deficit, and even a larger number support leaving Medicare and Social Security alone.

Yet these same people still vote Republican. Mostly out of habit, but many out of pure blind hatred of PoC and women - in other words, mostly out of racism, bigotry, and misogyny.

I don't know who I'll vote for in the primaries since I haven't seen my preferred candidate announce - YET - but I'll vote for the Democratic candidate in the general, whoever s/he might be.

When I set out to choose my Democratic candidate in 2007, I had NO idea who I'd vote for. Then I voted for John Edwards. I liked his two-America's speech and I felt that he could be a second Kennedy - before his affair was made public, hurting his cancer-stricken wife and he crushed that illusion.

Then I heard of this Obama person, and began to look into this man who was inspiring so many young voters. And although I believed back then that he didn't have a snowball's chance in Hades to win the primaries (because of innate American racism that's hard to eradicate), I began donating money to his campaign, hoping to give him at least a fighting chance even though I felt that he was just a teensy-weensy more "conservative" than Hillary Clinton to my liking - especially on health care reform. But then again, I was still royally pissed off at HRC for her IWR vote and didn't want to support her candidacy. I'm over that now, as others should be, too. So should she win the Democratic Party's nom, I will have NO problem voting for her. But I'm hoping for a strong "maintenance" president who can carry on President Obama's good work, and that's why I'm hoping VP Biden will run. Soon.

But whoever decides to run, I will refuse to put down or "demonize" any Democrat who tosses his/her hat into the race. It doesn't serve this country nor the Democratic Party to write divisive posts on a Democratic Party supporting site against any Democrat. Instead, we should be writing posts that support our candidates, and explain why others should, too.

In the end, I believe with all my heart and soul, that we should NOT do the GOP's or Karl Rove's job for them, nor make the Koch bros smile as we attack one another's Democratic candidate.
