Reply #41: Sure I don't know how you can help but be cynical [View All]

We have been hearing this same shit for years. The difference with this guy is he has been delivering it. He hasn't just talked about it. His track record so far has been fighting for ethics and open government I find no reason to think he wont continue that.

If it was just a line he spewed I would be with you on this. It isn't though its something he has continuously fought for throughout his public career. SO I laid my cynicism aside one more time because I see a candidate that not only talks the talk but has been walking the walk.

If he hadn't gone from editing the harvard law review to working the streets in Chicago for little or no gain. I might be inclined to believe it was just rhetoric. He could have done anything, he chose to go to work for the poor and for justice. Time and again when given the choice the guy has chosen principle over dough. It goes a long way with me to-wards letting my guard down once again and believing in a candidate who truly does want to return this country to the democracy it should be by empowering the american public to once again get involved in their government.

So yeap it would be totally easy to say its just not possible theres too many in power that would be against it. I guess I still have HOPE. Thank god its backed up by a real record of accomplishing just the things he is saying he wants to do.
