I have evolved from voter machine rigging, to democratic complacency, to

failure to deliver the progressive message, to low voter turnout as the reasons that the results of the 2014 election are what they are. Today, I realize all of this is wrong and the results were just pure hatred of a black man in the white house, and unfortunately, I am convinced that the hatred came from the left and the right at the polls. No, I am not trying to play the race card. I am just facing a reality that is not surprising, but so self destructive for people who need so much that he has to offer. No, he is not perfect, but he is not the monster they have embraced and visioned through people like rush and the ignorant caller talking about that n***er. All this constant punditry about this and that is useless. It is racial. How the first family has maintained their dignity in the face of some the onslaught that has nothing to do with policy, is remarkable. Sad, sad world. All other theories are mute. Peace.
