    but Kucinich is right

    "The only candidate who was booed louder than Clinton at Saturday's presidential debate was the unlikely left-winger Dennis Kucinich. ... "Why don't people vote?" Kucinich asked, rhetorically. "It's because they don't think there is much of a difference between the two parties."

    The booing immediately drowned Kucinich out. He had committed a cardinal sin, demeaning the Democratic Party before a crowd that works countless unpaid hours a week to make the party stronger."

    when HRC is elected and she explains why we need to keep military bases in Iraq, I hope the "Kossacks" look at themselves when they look for who to blame. My guess is they will just rationalize and "explain" her wisdom to the people who don't see a difference between the two parties.
