Anyone agree with this two-part assertion?
Both Democratic candidates are far preferable to John Weathervane McSame.

Neither Democratic candidate is preferable to a true progressive.

2. the election process in this country, along with nearly everything else,
has been privatized to maximize the wealth of a few individuals. a side effect is that pretty much nothing works anymore.

torches and pitchforks.

3. IMO...
...I see very little difference between Hillary and McCain. As far as I can tell with the two of them it is corporate Tweedle Dum and Corporate Tweedle Dee.

JMHO

5. campaign-wise, I have been very disappointed in Clinton
record-wise, she and Obama are so close that it is hard to distinguish them clearly from one another.

8. Sure....
I don't see a difference between McCain or Hillary. Anti-war supporters, like myself, are going to be highly disappointed when she takes office and find out how hawkish she really is. Her campaign tactics are on par with rovian doctrine. The way she campaigns is a foreshadowing of the way she will govern as President. Anyone who campaigns like bush will govern like bush.
