16. Absolutely bullshit on government ...

For every one democrat with "corruption" there are countless more republicans involved in corruption, more extensive and more in your face and unapologetic about it.

This country could give a fuck all about corruption, quite frankly, when it comes to VOTING.

And, sorry, the "Clinton" record on "corruption" is in 95% republican poutrage on steroids.

Yes, Hillary is warmed over. Yes, she is a politician. Yes, she is too corporate for my preference.

But, while republicans excuse EVERYTHING their jackasses do, only democrats are fricken feckless enough to put knives in fellow democrats, much less spew republican bullshit doing it.

You don't like her, you want better.

Great.

Find or get behind someone you think is better in the primary and fight for him or her.

I will be more than happy to get behind someone better if they rise to the top.

But, the next time you see a republican elbowing past democrats to take shots at some republican FAR, FAR worse than Hillary Clinton will be the first time.

Keep that in mind when you look around and see their majorities in congress, the supreme court, state governments.



The Government: How can 60 percent of the country agree with Democrats on taxes, Social Security, Medicare, same sex marriage, gun safety, every last plank of the President’s immigration plan, the Cuban embargo, the Iran nuclear weapons deal and the truth about global warming and still vote Republican? The answer may be their identification of Democrats as the party of a government they despise. They care about frugality but what they hate most is corruption. All across the world public anger over corruption now drives politics. Our politicians hardly mention it but our people care as much about it as anyone. The big problem isn’t the petty bribes. It’s what Anthony Kennedy foolishly calls ‘soft corruption.’ Suffice it to say the Clinton record on it is spotty. The Democrats’ next leader must have a credible plan to curb public corruption. It won’t happen without robust debate.
