In reply to the discussion: Ron Paul: for the record, and just my humble o. [View all]slay
(7,670 posts)32. Well I live in NC and Kay Hagan is my Dem senator
and she is horrible. we do have some good local ones, but even our mayor is an independent (on the progressive side). i vote for brad miller (Dem) for the house every time though since i'm in his district and his votes are mainly progressive. i wish we had more good Dems in NC to support - i really do.
but yes, i too am very proud of the Dems in Wisconsin this year.
*on edit - our Dems here did take back our local school board from the Koch Bros funded repub assholes so indeed, there is some good being done at the local level. National - not so much.

I will never understand why self-proclaimed Democrats would support Ron Paul.
