"I've been waiting since then for someone to spark that same kind of energy and positive sense"
Perhaps you should consider actually abiding by that sense of inspiration and positive sense then, as opposed to employing childish insults. Or the insipidly demeaning "Billary". And still so clever--bull instead of bill. Oh, to be so facile with language. Yes, I can see how "Common Sense" was written in its original draft: "King George is a poopie-head! He is, he is, he is! Nyah Nyah Nyah" If that couldn't inspire a nation to revolution, what could?
"claiming he's all talk and she's all action"
except of course I never did claim such a thing, so by accusing me of doing so aren't you using the same "turgid Potomac" style of political attack?
"Change, bill. Change. Hillary is not i"
Please. Hillary is no change from Bush? This is the same Naderesque--"the two parties are exactly the same" kind of silliness that helped get us the past eight years of utter disaster. not what I'd expect from someone with the resume you cite. It's just ridiculous. You want to argue that Obama would be "more" of a change--feel free. Their position differences don't show that much but feel free. But to argue that he is a change from Bush and she is not is just silly.To be charitable.
And if you want half the party to vote with you to stop the fascists (and I bow to nobody in my utter contempt for Bush and his supporting republicans in the Congress), then perhaps you all should stop decrying the roughly 50 percent of the party that votes for Hillary. Perhaps you should stop telling them they are part of some sleaze machine, stop telling them they should just give up. Perhaps you should stop pretending their votes and desires don't matter. Stop pretending Obama is somehow "sweeping" to a crowning. Wouldn't they be part of that "We the People"? Guess not, huh? As I said, a bit ironic coming from people allegedly voting for a "uniter"
