157. So Sick, So Tired

We keep getting had by candidates who say a lot of the right things to get our support then slide steeply to the right and must whisper the Hell with us once elected. LBJ, Bubba, now Obama, and it is so discouraging.

The media has made sure we don't get anyone truly progressive, they just marginalize them right out of the race if they do run. In other words it's a pretty closed system now and it will be very hard to break - and time is running out.
