68. I was ready to say screw it all
when the primary first geared up and Hillary was a "lock." when the nomination was hers for the taking... Candy Crowley on CNN was like a broken record on this.

so I said... okay, politics as usual. more b.s.

even tho Congress was elected in '06 because people do not support these republican actions and policies... we're still going to get another corporately bought and sold same-old candidate.

now, I'm not saying that Obama does not have his own big money backers. But he also has 1,500000000 individual donars who feel we have invested a stake in getting a candidate that will not continue the same old b.s.

well, putting a republican on a democratic ticket is WORSE THAN the same old b.s. It's the same old b.s. on steroids. I understand the need to create a ticket to balance and pull in other voting blocs. but that does not mean rewarding the assholes who have gotten us where we are now.

for the "long-play" on this, I went into a bit more detail above in a post that says b/c this is bullshit. because it is bullshit.
