Official 2015 Democratic Party Survey COULDN'T BE MORE BIASED...
Just received something that pretends to call itself a party survey it in the mail today (At the top of the survey is my DNC Membership #, Registration, Survey Tracking Scalene, please return by Dec 15, and the rest of the blah-blah-blah.)
After section I (personal information), there is a section II, III, IV, V (comments) and VI (soliciting contributions)
With the exception of where one fills out personal information and gives comment, every section has a multiple choice question. It even recognizes every Republican candidate running in the 3rd part of section III with the question, "Which Republican presidential hopeful do you believe would be the hardest to defeat in 2016?"
However, Section II, (The 2016 Elections) has no multiple choice and there is no objective reason as to why. That section's question is, "Which Democratic candidate do you support to be our Party's 2016 presidential nominee?"
IT'S LEFT BLANK. One has nothing to check off. Therefore, unless you get a VAST alternative amount of daily news that includes Bernie Sanders, many Democrats would have to come up with it. That's right... WRITE IT IN!
Now WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE a survey who's content potentially could be weighed has no way of quantitatively evaluating the Democratic candidate?
Why, when you pick up media talking about the 2016 Presidential race, can you unconditionally see Hillary Clinton's name referred to over and over. MANY of these (also biased) articles don't even bother to MENTION Bernie Sanders name.
This THIS official party survey pretends to quantitatively evaluate who Democrats support in 2016.
I've never been as insulted by the attempt by these party hacks to misrepresent my party as much as I was when I pulled the envelope open and feasted my eyes on this HORRID example of a survey. This is PURE horse shit. And, it's now being circulated into mailboxes guaranteed to offer yet another data set that PRETENDS to address what we want in this country.
Well I couldn't let it go without a call, which I just finished. I recommend that you give them your opinion. I was told DWS would be given my complaint. I added how disappointed I was in her as Chair. I told the person answering the DNC in Washington that it was INSULTING, and that I wasn't happy with the Chair's performance, and this was ONE MORE REASON for feeling that way.
BTW, the phone number of the DNC is 1-877-336-7200. Let them know how you feel, assuming you got this piece of shit in the mail, too.

Check in here if you have a L0oniX fly!
I love these flies.... I wish I could thank the LORD OF THE FLIES!!!
Yeah... it's so contrived, this campaign commercial...
But, it ain't Bernie's. I'm cross posting it here, because I'm sure my comment would be unwelcome in GD-P. But, I can't help but notice because it's very obvious to me as a viewer how "constructed" it is. if I went for, "phony heads nodding on cue... or, if I was to think up something phony or staged, not spontaneous, THIS would be the commercial...

Which makes me all the more appreciate genuine dialogue with people who don't need to "nod" on cue. They have a genuine connection with Bernie Sanders.... and she... does.... NOT.
This Saturday's report (hitting the streets of Pittsburgh for Bernie Sanders)
We've been doing a few Saturdays so far... first one was a few weeks ago, university area of Pittsburgh (CMU and Pitt). Today, Squirrel Hill area of Pittsburgh Major areas around Synagog and shopping district.
MANY young and older people with excellent response. MANY cars honking and thumbs up, most of whom were black drivers who shouted "Go! BERNIE!!!"
Very encouraging. Next Saturday, we'll hit Wilkinsburg, which is a socially/economic strained area.
Anyone reading this in the Pittsburgh area, please PM me!

Eulogy to Mr. Mickey 2 Feb 1996 - Sept 10, 2015

I'm not going to take up too much space in GD for this, but I hardly ever go to the pet group, and …. well, I AM Mr. Mickey's Mom. I always will be. Forever and ever in my heart he goes on living, just like his departed sister, Mallory, his nemesis sister, Scoobie, his loving big sister, Jessie…
Heart aches now, but this in time will pass. I just want to say one thing about my boy, who lived such a wonderful life with me that I took him up for my DU name. The things we see in life where nature on its own is concerned… These are lessons for us. If we watch animals, they forgive, they have unconditional love. They shape and mold us, just like my heart was re-arranged.
There will never be another one like this boy. So many DU posts with him on my lap at the board. I dedicate this post to him.
