33. Okay. I admit I have seen you step up to defend
Clinton. And I remember even agreeing with you on one occasion or another, as much as it pains me to do so with regards to her.

But what I'm sick of is this whole-hearted effort on the part of some people here to tear down the ONE candidate trying to get out the single message America most needs to hear and understand. The MSM sure as hell ain't letting him get it out there.

To me, the Class War is the ONLY issue. In it is held the truth about the Iraq War, the myth of the "volunteer" military, rampant outsourcing, the social safety net, the fight against climate change, civil rights, universal healthcare, immigration, and damn near every other issue out there. It's all about the money, and those with the money willing to do just about anything to keep making it hand over fist, even if it means poisoning everything around them, from the political and social dialogue to the land, sea, and air itself.

From my point of view, Clinton seems to be on board with far too much of it. Obama wants to play nice with the same people who've brought us to this state, and the rest of the damn candidates aren't even sucking hind tit at this juncture.

So that leaves Johnny. Perfect he ain't. A savior he ain't. But he's a voice saying things America damn well needs to hear and understand. You reach out and tell some blue-collar factory worker who no longer has a job because it's been shipped to China that the people who planned all of it are living high on the hog at his expense, at his family's expense, and he's going to be PISSED. Especially if you speak his language while doing it.

And that trumps every bullshit smear certain DUers seem to be struggling to devise.
