42. You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine.
Clinton marked the beginning of the rush to the right of the democratic party, the betrayal of the principles of traditional liberalism, the movement of the party deeper into bed with business and further away from the people.

Not only did John Kerry run a weak campaign, and stand only marginally apart from Bush in international ideology, it is also the utterly failing politics of centrism, and me too-ism and trying to win by pandering to the conservative base that made the election close enough to steal.

You who are up in arms about the election fraud are missing the most important point. This president is one of the worst presidents in history. His record is abysmal, the economy has never fully recovered, he lost jobs as president, people are dying everywhere for his war based on lies, he cannot point to one single real success. The fact that the election was even close enough that it could be stolen is a testimony to how weak and fairly the right-wing democratic party actually is, how weak our presidential candidate selection really was, and how utterly messed up both parties are.
