I don't consider myself a progressive.
So....yea.

She totally owned that entire cluster-**** of a hearing.
Not only did she come off as presidential, she made the repubs look like a bunch of whining babies.
I love that she turned it into what basically amounts to Hillary campaign opportunity.
I consider myself at home

^ Yes!!! An accurate gif of how I feel when I think of all the corrupt cronies in D.C. squandering my hard-earned income on secret assassination missions, treasonous wiretapping and more!
Why all the hate? To quote The Beatles wrongly, The Hate you get is equal to the Hate you make
But let's face it, if you consider yourself a progressive and you're voting for Hillary Clinton you're either naive or in denial.
Or a pragmatist. Or a realist.
Or someone who doesn't want to live his last years with a conservative Supreme Court.
Or someone who just thinks she's both better than you think she is and not as bad as you think she is.

All politicians are as bad as you think they are... they're usually worse!

Well, as Shakespeare said, it is an ill-favored thing, sir, but mine own.

You've utterly failed (again) in whatever it is you've tried to do, headband, for whatever reason known only to you.
If you haven't already watched it, I highly recommend catching Rachel Maddow's interview with Clinton from last night.
Here it is.

Obviously Pesident Obama will endorse who ever wins the primary but does anyone know who President Obama favours?
On April 11th, Obama said that Hillary "was a formidable candidate in 2008, she was a great supporter of mine in the general election, she was an outstanding secretary of state, she is my friend. I think she would be an excellent president.”

"Well that sounds like an endorsement! I have not heard him say anything about Mr Sanders
^and you won't until someone gets the nomination.
From Meet The Press this morning:
1) Ben Carson is a complete and total f+#kface. To think that if everybody had guns the Holocaust would not have happened. How he has gotten this far is mind boggling. Same gender marriage, woman's right to choose, gun control...if he is the nominee Hillary will bury him. I could not be silent if he is the one nominating 2 or 3 Supreme Court judges.
2) As for Harold "Trey" Gowdy, I think he should still be washing the egg off his face. You can still see the hatred in his eyes. He now knows Thursday's hearings shows how slimy and petulant the republicans are. Gowdy should say "Howdy" to Madame President.
3) Elijah Cummings has again showed what a knowledgeable and important voice he has. I hope he will run for Mikulski's seat in the Senate.

^ Do you enjoy being oppressed by lobbyist firms and corrupt corporations? As long as you keep supporting the two-party political system, that will continue. Politicians get paid by these two groups to say they will "fight for the middle class." No policies passed by legislators on either side have benefited the general public.

Just admit you want the Republicans to win. Cuz that's what you're advocating.
Broadway Legend Joined: 5/28/13
I hate Republicans. Start a thread about "Carson or Trump?" and I'll be all over that. Until that day comes, I will revisit this thread.
I advocate for the abolishment of political parties and affiliations. This has become the death of American democracy. It has been infiltrated and corrupted by lobbyists, special interest groups and corporations.
If you want that thread to exist, why don't you start it?
Broadway Legend Joined: 5/28/13
I never said I wanted it to exist. I suggested that someone else start that thread if they want me to move over there. Perhaps you should brush up on your reading comprehension skills. Nice attempt at a quick, witty "drive-by" jab though! That's pretty much all you have become good for on here...
