3. I kept forgetting who, but someone is posting on her good voting record on various issues.

The simplistic bashing of HRC over one vote or a statement is overdone when one looks at her full voting record, which is anti-war, pro-environment, and trying to rein in business.

Of course, her record on women and healthcare does not matter to the bashers and ignored by the vast internet army of Hillary Haters. As if they ever cared about women and the poor, no matter how they howl. They just want to be superior. No doubt that is why they hate Obama, too.



Segretti is laughing. For over twenty years, the conservative media has set the tone, the left has swallowed it whole and refuse to give it up. The truth lies elsewhere, but they are going to hate her as much as Rush did.

They say they won't vote for HRC, calling her a snake and liar, and that they will vote third party or not at all. They even quote conservative sources to bash her with.

Because they don't agree with American populist icons who told us the two parties are different, nor do they heed the words of the UK socialist:

I kept the faith and I kept voting; Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand.

~ Billy Bragg

They are of this kind:

These Do-Nothings profess a commitment to social change for ideals of justice, equality, and opportunity, and then abstain from and discourage all effective action for change. They are known by their brand, 'I agree with your ends but not your means'.

~ Saul Alinsky



Yeah, I need to vent here, grateful for the BOG.
