39. You might notice that the term "Democrat" is in quotes.
The reason it is in quotes is because that is what my father said, "Vote DEMOCRAT".
However, he always refered to the Party as "The Democratic Party".

I am not ashamed of my Working Class father.
I'm proud of him.
"He did good."


Americans in his position can no longer achieve "The Dream" simply by working hard.
Americans can no longer promise their children that they can "get ahead" by simply "working hard".

I am NOT intrested in preserving the Status Quo.
I do NOT support "reaching across the aisle" or "inviting the Corporate lobbyists to the Table".
Only AFTER the Democratic Party has repaired the damage done to the Working Class since the Carter administration will I be willing to discuss "bipartisanship. Until then, it is WAR, and I want a FIGHTER.

I love Kooch, but have made a strategic decision to support Edwards.


"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone
