15. Hmmm
When I think of small (d) Democrats I think of William Jennings Bryant, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson, the latter two of whom were successful at a national level. And if you were an African American or Native American of their eras their success came partially at your expense but I digress...

I see you alluded to the bombing raids on the Afghan-Pakistan border. I am not at all surprised. After all President Obama didn't say or run on the promise that we are suspending our war against our enemies. He said he's not "against wars; only dumb ones."

Politicians disappoint but they don't profoundly disappoint me because I have no allusions about them. I tend to look at all our leaders as complex beings and not cardboard saints.
