I will never allow an attachment to a politician to cloud what I know to be true and honest

Look folks, these people are human. They make mistakes. They put their pants on just like you every morning. They are not gods, nor do they come anywhere close. I believe that if each one of us looks deep down, beyond the mind chatter, we know what is right and wrong. We Know.

Ignorance has been running rampant around here lately, on both sides. Not to call out anyone in particular, but as an example, there were some Hillary supporters, on the last go around, defending and arguing Geraldine Ferraro’s statements about Obama.

Don’t defend ignorance. We are Democrats and we should know better.

1. We SHOULD know better

Divide and conquer, that is what the pukes want, and we are handing it to them. Worse than that, you can't speak any reason on DU anymore.
