So for the record I am not a Democrat, I really never cared for the party, I'll spare the reasons.  I am fortunate because I live in Oakland, so I can vote third party most of the time and it'll be fine. (also because you can talk politics with most folks and disagree AND fundamentally agree, I guess there is a lot of mutual respect, except for Michael Savage living within walking distance F**K!)

Why do I tell you this? No reason no relevance, I just live in a better place than you.

Anyhow. 

The squabbling of this primary is just, well, stupid. Neither candidate is ideal and no candidate ever is at the national level. Neither candidate is going to be that bad as long as we have a working majority in congress either.

I would most definitely prefer Obama, however he is not the messiah, and he does play spin, target group message, character assassination politics. If you haven't noticed, then you are Cult-like (or you may have missed it because he is really good at it)

And Clinton is disingenuous, and she does play win at all stakes politics, she learned through survival. If you haven't noticed, then you are Hilbot like ( and you really have to have noticed that, right? Maybe not?)

Ferraro wasn't racist she was stupid and did say some truth, trivial,stupid but true. Wright, a few factual errors aside, his message was correct from what I have seen.

Both sides have used things such as this and manipulated it to score points, that is politics, gotta break eggs to make omlettes, yada yada. If we run with it they will run with it, blogs are quite often ahead of and shaping the MSM narratives.

A Democratic president with a Democratic congress are tools not leaders( that is not meant to be a pun) What I mean is, Democratic politicians are more likely to hear the will of the people and if not bent to the will of the people. The other cats not so much. We need smart advocates not leaders, and it is on us to organize not just cast ballots. If you are looking for leadership, good luck with that.

So please change the narrative, I read here because it has posts of some great analysis, and some witty ass snark. This has rapidly changed. Views from formerly well reasoned posters are morphing into petty, inaccurate worse than FOX vitriol. Please start with the brains again, so I can read and not post quasi -kumbaya come together critique.

Lastly, the McCain stuff. Real simple, he is not morally and ethically upstanding, he is not genuine, he is not a straight shooter, he is not a military expert, he is not a populist. Please don't post anything to the contrary, research for yourself. If you are going to vote for him in protest you are an, I don't really know how say in a civil way, idiot.

Pontifically yours
