What I had hoped, was a speech that displayed the best of one’s character, that detracted the focus on the failure to reach the mark, and placed less emphasis on egotism in the face of defeat. Hillary ran the best campaign possible, tooth and nail, and for that, she can hold her head up high.

I’m sure she must feel a sense of loss at the end of this campaign, but I hope that in the coming months, Hillary will engage the public as a person who made an astounding mark on political history, who can admit that politicians fight fiercely for there constituents, even occasionally trying to outbest her opponent verbally. Now that the gloves are off, I would like to see her motivate her supporters as to how much is at stake in this general election, not merely with words, but with conviction and sincerity.

I’m so tired of Repubs posing as Dems and Dems posing as Repubs on these sites.

It’s boring, transparent, pathetiic and cowardly.

If you are too threatened by heated, direct conversation about the political process then get out of the kitchen.

Just keep this in mind no matter who you vote for. Gay Rights are Civil Rights. Gay Rights are Civil Rights Gay Rights are Civil Rights.

And if you happen to be one of the mentally unfortunate who cling to 1950’s deep south hypocriscy then I pray for you.

Name one law abiding segment of our population who is separated out and given a different set of laws. You can’t. The law abiding population is supposed to be treated equally. At least ideally. But we don’t have laws set up saying that if you are a black man or a mexican-american woman you can’t do x, y, or z.

Only gays and lesbians are set aside in this society. They have taken place of the African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and so forth as the last acceptable punching bags of discrimination.

It’s ugly. It’s really a complete insult to what our country is suppose to stand for. Our country is suppose to embrace legal equality.
