Reply #150: You want a "far left" perspective. Here's one:

I don't want a President who will work with Republicans. I want a President who will put Republicans in JAIL. (Except for the ones who did REALLY nasty things. I want a President who will ship THEM off to the Hague!)

Republican policies are KILLING AMERICA. If we don't face up to that, and call it for what it is, we can kiss our sweet country GOOD BYE!

If we're lucky, we'll have this ONE CHANCE to show the American people that MOST Republican politicians are CRIMINALS who want want what is best for themselves and their corporate benefactors and will stop at nothing to sell this country and its people to the highest bidder.

We blew our chance in '92 because Big Dog wanted to be a "new" kind of Democrat. So he let GB I and all of the other Iran-Contra/BCCI criminals off the hook. And look where it got us.

If we don't, if we play nicey-nice and all compromisey, then there's a chance there will be, in 4 years, 8, 12, whatever, another Republican President. When that happens, you, I, and all your sweet compromising asses will get hauled into FEMA camps or worse.

This is a fight. A fight to the death. A fight we'd better not lose. We will not survive with half-measures. We will not survive with the kind of politics that says "impeachment is off the table" or "we'll let Roberts and Alito through as long as you *promise* not to send us anyone worse," or "we don't want to uphold the LAW because we think it is more important to elect Democrats in the next election."

Newsflash. If we don't elect Democrats who WILL uphold the law, there won't be a law to uphold for very much longer.

*Disclaimer* I'm not saying Hillary will go after Republican crimes any more than Barack will. Too much of her husband's patented triangulations are caught up in them. But this talk of "unity" and coming together with war criminals and people who'd just as soon kill your baby in an airport as look at you makes me want to puke.
