It took me 15 years to reach 4000 posts. How do some of you get to 100,000? Damn.

47. It took me a long time to get past 1,000. My post count started to

pick up during both of Obama's Presidential election years. I have become so fed up with the US election process and both political parties that I don't post as much anymore as I pretty much try to tune the election out. The Democratic Party needs to get people like DWS out of the national election process. She is no Howard Dean. I would like to see Joe Biden become involved with the national election process after he leaves office. He could at least make it a more positive process.

I chose to vote for Obama, it is an easy decision to vote for Sanders but a vote for Clinton feels too much like voting for the lesser of the evils. If the Republican presidental race was not so much of a clown car, the Democratic Party would be in a world of hurt.

It has become easier to just not engage in political discourse. No doubt Clinton would be better than any of the Republicans but I still want change and a more liberal President and that won't be her. In the absence of Sanders being the Democratic candidate the only thing that will drive me to the polls in November is former Democratic US Senator (now Univ. of OK President) Davie Boren's drive to make Oklahoma the state with the highest sales tax. I will show up to vote a big fat NO to that and will vote for the Democratic nominee while there.
