Reply #37: I'm not disagreeing with you on the game [View All]

But if you look at it that way, aren't we all being played by someone? By corporations or the wealthy elite?

Is the personal belief that people are being played reason enough to hate my brothers and sisters? Many who congratulated us when Obama won despite their painful disappointment? Were you ever played by a politician? I remember being played and the sadness of finding out what the meaning of is really was and everything that came afterwards.

Tomorrow I plan to go right back to fighting for Obama but tonight I just want to congratulate all the people who worked very hard in this nasty game. I think we can be vigilant against lies and liars while still supporting the honest people who see things differently. Let me tell ya. My mom's a Hillary supporter because of gratitude for the Family Leave and Medical Act that allowed her to take 2 months off work and spend night and day by my father's hospital bed when he was suddenly crippled by a terminal disease that left him 2 months to live. She's not being taken on any wedge issue and is as disgusted with this war as I am. This congratulation is for the millions of good people like her, that's all. It's not an endorsement of anything.

Do you remember all the HRC supporter threads congratulating Obama and his supporters? I think rising in kind will help us all. :hi:
