What a former Missouri prosecutor/judge wrote to me:

In a Christmas card:

"No Die-ins Now!"

This woman is a former Missouri prosecutor of sex offenders and former judge. She was forced to resign from the bench some years ago for using the word "niggardly" because it was misunderstood. It is NOT a racial slur.

I gave up communicating with her a long time ago, because she catastrophises, and takes everything I do or say the wrong way.
She said on her friend's Facebook feed that "Justice was done by the grand jury in Ferguson".

This would make her just as sold out as everyone else in the establishment. My husband thought I would get along with her because she's a Democrat and an attorney. He was wrong.


And she calls herself a DEMOCRAT???

any one can say they are a Democrat these days and they will get support from party leadership many times at the expense of liberal and progressive Democrats.

A number of years ago Ford Motor Company was not selling cars and trucks because of quality problems so what does Ford Motor Company do, why they IMPROVED the QUALITY of their Product, they did not build any old car and just slap a Ford Logo on it and expect people to buy it, they started from the bottom up IMPROVING the QUALITY of their product.

With Fords improved QUALITY Ford sold lots of cars and truck anad now has a number of the top selling cars and trucks in America and the world today.

Once Democrats start producing a quality product again, Democrats will once again win elections.

The party needs more Warrens and people like Sanders who is the best and most reliable Democrat and he is a socialist, not even a member of the party!

IMHO what we don't need are more Wall Street toady's like Clinton and Obama.

The Party is at a cross roads today, we have corporate toady's AKA Third Way, Blue Dogs, etc.. and traditional Democrats who are more interested in representing the 99% then the 1%, which way will the party go?

We want change, then we have to STOP voting for and supporting those that do not really represent the 99% period and call out and expose those who do not represent the 99%.

Hard to describe it really...they are sort of watered down or wandering.
McCaskill is pretty good, she voted against the crap spending bill.

But Nixon didn't exactly stand up for justice in St. Louis county.

We like our "Show me" motto, but I wish someone would show me what is wrong in this state so we can fix it. I thought for sure the Michael Brown case would be a point of change. There is still a little hope, now that so many of the "mistakes" (done on purpose!) are in the open.
