As you, I, and most all left leaning political folks know all too well, our fellow Americans who lean to the right possess a host of serious drawbacks that we find not only reprehensible, but also boggle our senses as to how they can talk themselves into not only accepting them as true, but of staunchly being in defense of them.
It amazes me that without fail, every time I fight a battle of words and ideas with a conservative, be they GOP, Tea, or Libertarian party, it feels to me as to what it must be like to try catching a greased hog.
Just as you corner them with logic, and grab hold of them with facts and truth, they simply grab hold of another absurd talking point they've been fed, and slip away from the issue at hand.
After attempting to force reason and sanity upon the self induced ignorance they cling to, most of us on the left realize that those we are trying to expose to the truth aren't all single digit IQ lifeforms, but are just stubborn hard heads that either can't, or won't change their way of thinking.
Whether from racial bigotry, identity insecurity, or ingrained tradition, those that hold fast to the lies and propaganda they get fed from Fox and their less than honorable elected reps. do exhibit one thing the left could employ more of, Dedication.
For all their faults and weaknesses, the hard line right wingers do have dedication and commitment. Even though it is ill thought out, it still remains a positive virtue.
These virtues do posses an inherent problem to the left leaning however, just the nature of being a liberal/progressive causes us to always examine and question things we are being told. To not just take the word of others as to the validity and honesty of a particular issue or event.
We approach things pragmatically and require proof of their integrity and accuracy before assigning them our support.
These are certainly critical steps in keeping our platform free from mindless obedience, but when we do commit to a position, we need to see it through to the end.
For 6 years now the President we elected twice, Barrack Obama, has done amazing things in the recovery of America, and he has done it fighting more political opposition than any President in American history.
As our President strives to improve the lives of EVERY American, he faces unending negative forces from the right. Forces whose only intent is to somehow defeat and dishonor him and any sort of legacy he might leave.
These negative forces the GOP/Tea Party invoke are done so at the cost of whatever they deem needed. And if this country needs to self destruct to accomplish their agenda, so be it, they are more than willing to let America burn to the ground.
And although the idea of giving them all their own section of land with which to establish their own miserable third world nation is extremely appealing, we are unfortunately, stuck with them.
And so, that being the case, we on the left must insure that America remains a country that is worth living in.
To accomplish this task, we don't need to sink to the level of dirty tricks, lies, and voter suppression that the right loves to employ. After all we have the high ground by espousing equality for all, fairness for all, and acceptance of all.
But we all need to commit ourselves to the cause. The ACA has now become a proven success story. Millions of Americans now have affordable healthcare. Something the GOP/Tea Party were counting on failing.
The unemployment rate is under 6%.
President Obama has proven over and over to be a man of integrity, honor, and wisdom. Which is why the fear mongering haters of the right have not been able to make even one of their continuing barrage of false accusations stick, because they are all lies and distorted half truths. Just like most of the things the GOP/Tea Party says.
If we all vote in the 2014 elections then we will keep the senate and maybe take back the house.
So stand tall, don't fall victim to the ever increasing desperate lies the right spews out. Have faith that our President has our backs and that in the end we will be the victors, and the America we love will be purged of those that wish it ill.

OK, I'll probably take a lot of heat for this one, but W.T.F., that never stopped me before,
I have been criticized more than usual lately by mostly Libertarians, they say things like,"Obama is forcing healthcare on this country", and, "Obama wants to financially ruin America", and, "Both party's are only a smokescreen to hide what's really going on".
These are but a few of the responses I receive (unrequested) when I present any positive news of our Presidents actions, or negative news of the GOP/Tea party,
The Libertarian ideal is indeed a very enticing scenario, minimal government intrusion, freedom from societal limitations, a true Utopia, but just like Utopia, it is unrealistic, and no matter how hard we close our eyes, or how many times we click our heels together, it just would not work.
It is true that we have had a few Libertarians as President in the past, but that was over 150 years ago, in an era that was totally different from today.
The complexity and massive intricacies of modern society make the idea of the "every man for himself" philosophy, and the "you do your thing and I'll do mine" mantra an absurd pipedream.
Yes the idea of pure freedom is appealing,and yes the thought of everybody seeing to each others needs is a pleasant thing, but we live in a world of fellow human beings, and one thing about human beings is, we are a selfish species, we will look out for numero uno , and we will reach out to help others in varying degrees, but 99 times out of 100, that will happen only after our own needs and wants are satisfied.
I am not condemning humanity for that, far from it, it's survival of the fittest and all that stuff, and I know there are people who do truly care about the well being of their fellow humans, but to count on every person in this nation to "do the right thing", is about as far fetched as you can get.
And no matter how pleasant a place America would be in the Libertarian world, it just isn't going to happen, and that forces us to deal with the realities of today, and to accept them as they are, or to change them in a way that has some chance of being successful, not by pretending that somehow we can turn the clock back and return to an era long since past.
If it were a matter of the balance of power remaining static, then fine, chase your pipedream, I hope you catch it, but unfortunately, that is far from what's happening today.
There exists a party that is under the control of the elite 1% of this nation, and in that party lies a sub party that acts as a force bent on bringing our nation to its knees.
Those would be respectively, the GOP, and the Tea party. The GOP partnered up with the Tea party for two reasons, they needed to expand their ever shrinking base of supporters, but mostly, they are both funded by the elite people and corps. in America, and have a similar agenda.
As recently witnessed, the Tea party is an out of control group of misguided bigots, who are now running roughshod over the GOP pussies that are too scared to oppose them, they value their job a lot more than they value America.
Now these GOP pussies and the terrorist acting Tea party puppets all took an oath, an oath that they are now breaking, making them dishonorable traitors, and they wear the title proudly.
So while the Libertarian party would just sit back and watch the show, there is a drastic need for those who recognize what the GOP/Tea party is doing to step up to the plate and defeat these treacherous bastards, and to stifle them permanently.
So while I understand that the Democratic party is flawed, and it too has its own corruption to deal with, it is at least fighting "FOR" the average American, not "AGAINST" them, and President Obama has proven over and over that he is trying to better our lives, not enslave us.
Every progressive thing suggested is shot down by the GOP/Tea party, they would rather see America burn to the ground than to see our President succeed, and if you can't see past your face enough to realize that, then I have no use for your views or critiques, please keep them to yourself.
Some of us are trying to get something accomplished.

While watching Ted Cruz spewing out lies on T.V., I recognized an emotion building inside of me that up to now could only be triggered by seeing and listening to 1 of 2 people, and I use the term "people" in the broadest sense of the word.
Those two are George Bush Jr., and Dick Cheney.
Even the utter loathing and disgust I experience at the likes of Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Grover Norquist, Michele Bachmann, Rush, Bill, Sean, or the Fox news channel can't stir the type of complete and total hatred I feel toward those two murderous traitors to America.
And trust me, that says a lot.
But now it appears that a third vile and unholy monster has arisen from the slime to test my ability to forgive and empathize .
I recognized that old feeling after hearing Cruz spewing out his evil lies for about 5 minutes, as soon as I was imagining how enjoyable it would be if I could just reach my hand through the T.V., grab Cruz by the throat, and punch him in the face for about a week and a half.
These are not emotions I enjoy feeling, I try very hard to not hate, but when I see somebody like Cruz, or Bush, or Cheney, destroying our nation in the fulfillment of their self serving evil agenda, I just don't seem to have any control of it.
However, unlike the continual angst and anger I feel toward Bush and Cheney's ability to escape the justice they have coming to them (so far), I find the pure hatred that Cruz stirs in me, can be overcome by sitting back and watching the total destruction of the entire GOP that Cruz has effected.
The pure pleasure I get from seeing the GOP/Tea party imploding into obscurity is enough to bring me back to optimism and good spirits.
Just imagining the utter turmoil and infighting that is taking place throughout the conservative party brings a smile to my face.
And I believe that when America finally hangs Bush and Cheney as the traitors they are, then I will finally be rid of this ultimate hate.

So, you think you have an idea of what we here on the progressive side are fighting for do you?
Well, are you confident that you know exactly why it is we refer to you as racists or nut jobs?
Allow me to make it crystal clear for you.
We here on the left believe that every woman, child, and man, regardless of their religion, race, sexual orientation, or skin color has a God given right to be treated equally.
We here on the left believe that we are indeed our brothers keeper, that there will always be people who will need assistance of one type or another, and that in a nation as abundantly blessed as this one has been, we feel that there is plenty to share, and that those who have reaped more rewards, should also share more of them.
We here on the left believe that if something is good for the entire nation, it is also good for us, if every American can have the benefit of healthcare that is affordable, then we are all better off.
We here on the left believe that it is much more important to be good stewards of our planet and its abundance, than to try and strangle out every last bit of value it contains, just to make a buck.
Now I'm not saying that some conservatives don't also possess some of these beliefs, but overall, you just appear to be rather selfish and self centered, not really caring very much about anybody but you.
But what makes us democrat/liberal/progressive types think that you are all either crazy lunatics or bigoted racists, is the people you choose to have as your representatives.
They openly promote shutting down the entire government if they don't get their way, an act that would cause untold long term harm to every person in America.
They brazenly pass state legislation with the admitted intent to deny large groups of people their right to vote.
They block federal legislation that would create millions of jobs in America, as well as rebuild our aging infrastructure.
They spend mass amounts of time and tax dollars voting over 40 times trying to repeal a law that will give millions of Americans healthcare while at the same time saving hundreds of billions of dollars for our country.
They are absolutely opposed to anything that our President proposes, just to try and make him look ineffective and weak.
They constantly spread rumors, and falsely accuse President Obama of wrongdoing, when they know full well he is innocent of their charges.
They perpetually make thinly veiled remarks about his race, and his ability to lead America.
These are just some of the reprehensible and evil things your chosen leaders act out on a daily basis, there are many many more.
Along with all the things I have just mentioned, the conservative party also seems to have a great fondness for candidates who appear as though they just got released from the funny farm, or maybe they just escaped from there.
From our perspective, anybody that not only is tolerant of representatives like these, but endorses them with fervor, must be one of two things:
1. A bigot and/or racist who feels superior to others and desires that they should be afforded the recognition as such.
2. A nut job who is too arrogant or ignorant to realize that the people they are voting for have little concern for them, but big allegiances to the rich and powerful elite in America.
So in the future, when you can't figure out why someone is calling you deaf, dumb, and blind idiot, just refer back to this piece I've written, and you will understand.

Let's say you bought a car in the year 2000, this was not a new car, but it looked like an ok deal, so you went ahead and purchased it.
Within a few months that car was having some problems so you took it to a mechanic, after he was done looking at it, he told you that it would need some work to get it running right.
You said, ok, I'll take your word for it, go ahead and fix it.
A short time later your car was returned to you, it still drove a little funny, but the mechanic said that will go away shortly, so you said ok, and then you waited for the car to start working correctly.
The car never really drove as well as you thought it should, and then after some months went by, your car had a major breakdown, you were in a panic, what am I going to do to get around you thought, but your mechanic said, leave it to me, I'll fix it up, everything will be fine, trust me.
Again you left your car in the hands of your able mechanic, this time however, he told you that your car was in great danger of a complete breakdown unless you took major precautionary steps to stop that from happening.
What could you do? You were stuck, you could not risk losing your car, so you said, well, if that's what you say I need to do, then I guess I'll just have to trust your judgement.
When you finally got your car back, you noticed on the bill that he did lots of seemingly unneeded repair work, and the cost was way more than he told you it would be, but he just replied, when I started working on it, I saw that it needed more repairs than I thought it would, so I just did them.
You were unhappy about these surprise charges, but what could you do? He said they were needed, and you thought you could trust him to have your best interest at heart.
When you again got your car back, it seemed as though it was running worse than ever, for the next few years you found yourself constantly having to pay your mechanic more and more money just to keep your car on the road.
Finally, in 2008, you had had enough, it was very obvious that your mechanic was not only inept at his job, but he was purposely soaking you for every penny he could steal from you.
You found yourself a new mechanic, and when you brought him your car he said, there are a lot of problems with this car, mostly from your previous mechanics lack of skills and deceitfulness, but this car is worth saving, it won't be easy, but I will do everything I can to bring it back to good health.
So you turned your barely running car over to your new mechanic, and right away he began to get it running right, he told you it would take some time to restore it completely, but that he would do the best he could.
For the next four years you would take your car back to your new mechanic, and each time you got it back you noticed it was running better and better.
But in 2013, you heard a strange noise coming from your engine, you took it back to your new mechanic and he told you that it needed to have some precautionary work done, but that it should not be too expensive for him to do.
All of a sudden, you're paralyzed with fear, you think back to your old mechanic telling you that same thing, and even though your new mechanic has never cheated you, and that he has gotten your car running better than it has in many years, the trauma that you suffered from your old mechanic is giving you fear of being totally used again.
If you haven't gotten the meaning of the story by now, it is this, President Obama feels that we need to show Assad and the others that using chemical weapons is intolerable, and a price will be paid if you choose to use them.
The people of the United States are in a turmoil of emotion over the possibility of punishing Assad for his actions.
They are afraid that this is only an excuse to get us into another conflict in the middle east, just as the Bush/Cheney administration had deceived and lied in order to fulfill their agenda to invade Iraq.
The differences are miles apart, Obama has done all he could to end Americas wars abroad, he has shown nothing but integrity and honesty in the 4+ years he has been in office, and he has proven time after time that he can be trusted to make decisions that are in the best interest of America.
So now we need to do just that, to trust him, to afford him the confidence he has earned, and that he deserves.
The Bush/Cheney/GOP years caused most of our nations population to be distrustful of their government and its leaders, Obama is trying to restore that lost trust, so how about we cut him a little bit of slack, and not hold him accountable for the criminal behavior of the previous administration
Our President has knowledge of circumstances we don't, so lets not be ruled by emotions, lets be ruled by intelligence and understanding, an understanding that Obama has earned the right of our trust at every turn, lets afford him that trust now.

In 2008 I breathed a very welcome sigh of relief when the Bush/Cheney/GOP criminal enterprise was finally voted out of power, to be sure they left a huge pile of crap that we had to deal with, but at least they couldn't keep harming this nation as they had been doing for 8 incredibly long and torturous years of pure misery.
Obama has for the last 4+ years not only brought us back from the edge of an economic collapse that was engineered solely due to GOP actions, he has, against a GOP electorate thats only goal is to block all of his proposals, accomplished the following:
1. Passed legislation that gives millions of people healthcare who previously were unable to get it.
2. Turned around a jobs crisis from losing many hundreds of thousands of jobs each month, into gaining millions of jobs in the last 4+ years.
3. Restored a housing market that was in a free fall of dropping values, into one that is showing increasing values and strength.
4. He has ended a war started by the GOP for their own self serving purposes.
The list of his accomplishments goes on, in spite of the total obstruction supplied by the GOP.
At the present time, all of America is in a heated argument with each other on whether or not we should involve ourselves in the crisis that currently is happening in Syria.
Party lines have been ignored so far, for the first time since Obama took office, but that could all change when the house votes on whether we will or won't allow a strategic attack on the Syrian regimes chemical weapons launch capabilities.
Obama feels very passionately that a surgical strike on the Syrian regimes ability to continue chemical attacks on its own population is needed.
Even though he feels that he has a constitutional right to carry this out on his own, he has submitted his proposal to congress for their approval.
Regardless of what congress decides, there are two very important points to be acknowledged here, unlike Bush/Cheney, Obama listens to the people of this nation, and abides by their will.
The second point is, that despite over 4 years going by, the Bush/Cheney legacy is still rearing its ugly head up.
Because of the vast amount of lies they told, the unending amount of truth twisting they did, their ignoring of inconvenient facts, and their overall contempt of the American people, the GOP has succeeded in destroying peoples confidence and trust in their own government and it's leaders.
Even though Obama has proven his integrity and honesty on all other issues, the American people have been so traumatized by the self serving acts of the GOP, that they still remain hesitant to believe what they are told.
So for those that would say," it's been 4 years now, stop blaming Bush for your problems", I can only reply, pull your head out of your ass and try to pay attention, virtually every major problem that we are suffering with today can be traced back to the Bush/Cheney administration, and it's criminal behavior.
I look forward to a time when I'm not reminded on a daily basis of just how much we got screwed over by Bush/Cheney/GOP.

That's a serious statement, just what does it take to cause a forty year long GOP supporter to decide that he has been backing the wrong party?
Mostly it took opening my eyes and ears to what was going on around me, and actually investing the time and energy to investigate the facts, instead of taking the word of someone who says they have only my best interests at heart.
Except for an elite group of manipulators and the puppets they employ, I can easily imagine that the vast majority of GOP supporters are like I was, my dominant political position was "O.K., I'm busy, so go ahead and do the things you promised you would do, I trust you to do the right thing".
My wake up call began in earnest with the Bush Jr. Presidency and has continued on to the present.
While still giving lip service about protecting the Country and its people, Bush/Cheney/GOP were in full speed ahead mode to fulfill an agenda that was planned out long before, a very self serving agenda.
What has taken place since can only be described as an all out assault on America by the GOP and the elite puppet masters that control them.
You would have to be almost purposely ignoring the obvious facts to not see that the GOP is exclusively serving the masters who bought and paid for them, and that is not anyone with an income of less than 7 digits, not including the decimal point.
Some people say," Well the Democrats are just as corrupt as the Republicans are ".
WRONG !!! WRONG !!! WRONG !!!
Yes, there are of course corrupt Democrats, but the immensely overwhelming evidence of political corruption is very easily witnessed belonging to the GOP, and they don't seem mind us seeing it.
Apparently, the GOP thinks that as long as they continue spewing out lies and false accusations, that nobody will notice their deception and misdeeds.
The belligerent arrogance they so readily display is a tell tale sign of their opinion of the intelligence of the average American citizen.
They scramble to enact legislation that curbs the ability of minorities to vote in the name of reducing voter fraud, when no fraud exists.
They redistrict the nation to ensure that the GOP
candidates get overwhelming advantages.
They openly state their intention to block any and all legislation proposed by Obama in an effort to make him look like a failed President.
They spread vast amounts of propaganda trying to keep Obamacare from becoming a reality.
They have ongoing congressional hearings trying to implicate President Obama in whatever scandal they can manufacture.
The list of GOP abuses goes on and on and on.
So while the GOP is busying itself in the pursuit of besmirching Obama and the progressive left, what's happening in Washington D.C.?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING !!!
In their agenda fulfilling adventures, the GOP has been responsible for killing bills that would create millions of American jobs, rebuild Americas aging infrastructure, and provide oversight on industries that nearly destroyed the economy.
Oh yes, and lets not forget that they were the ones responsible for the down grading of Americas bond rating for the first time in history.
These are not deep dark hidden secrets that got leaked out, these are easily verified FACTS that anyone who wishes to can look them up online.
That is todays GOP leadership, a group of bought
and paid for flunkies that think we are all so stupid that we can't see what they are doing, and the sad part is, they are right, way too many people still believe that the GOP is fighting for the average American, when the truth is just the opposite.
Unfortunately, the lies and propaganda that the GOP and its diabolical ally, Fox News constantly drill into the heads of their ignorant drone like followers seems to keep them from opening their eyes and minds to the reality of the situation.
Nobody has their eyes closed now, due to the terrorist wing of the GOP known as "the Tea party", and its self appointed leader, Ted Cruz, we can all see pretty clearly that America and its people are the last thing these traitors care about, they are more than happy to watch it burn, because they can't get their way, just like a spoiled little child.
Though I am disgusted with the GOP and their outrageous behavior, I take comfort in knowing that their devoted base is being constantly chipped away by their arrogance and deception, and that even with the vast amount of money supplied to them from their elite masters, winning an election will be next to impossible for them.
At least, I hope it does.

This is a Plea to the every day Republican, it is not intended for the GOP elite, for you are a major reason that the Republican party is what it is today.
My plea is also not directed at Libertarians or the members of the Tea Party, whose sole purpose is to totally shut down government and let the chips fall where they may, regardless of who pays the price.
If you are just a regular middle class American who doesn't really want to get caught up in all the rhetoric and name calling in todays heated political climate, and you vote GOP, then this message is for you specifically.
Just so you know, I had been a Republican for most of my life, not that I took any great interest in politics during that time, but my family were all Republicans, so I just went with the status quo.
It was when Reagan was President that I started feeling uneasy about the direction the GOP was heading, the whole Iran/Contra scandal opened my eyes to their apparent agenda.
When Bush senior invaded Iraq, I bought into the propaganda at the time, but I still didn't like that we were protecting the oil companies interests, while being told we were only there to save Kuwait.
What started me questioning the integrity of the GOP was the 2000 elections, and the obvious ways the voting was being manipulated to favor Bush Jr.
As soon as he took power, George W. slashed taxes on the wealthiest among us, then he began to deregulate every industry in sight, giving his crony friends an open invitation to fleece us all.
Again, I didn't like it, but I accepted it.
After 9/11, I, like most Americans, supported the President in his efforts to bring justice and safety to our nation.
Within 2 years, Bush/Cheney had intimidated the congress into passing legislation that trampled our constitutional rights, and at the same time, openly lied to us so they could invade Iraq, something they had wanted to do for awhile.
The GOP's tactics to get Bush re-elected in 2004, were to scare the hell out of Americans, telling them lie after lie how they had saved us from the boogymen, and that if we don't vote for them, then we will all be murdered by the unknown evil that lurks just outside our doors.
In 2006/7 the walls on the GOP's house of cards began to collapse, the industries that the GOP were so eager to deregulate, proved just how greedy and destructive they could be without any oversight.
Wall street pulled off the biggest Ponzi scheme in history with their housing derivatives nightmare, causing millions of Americans to lose their houses, jobs, and retirement savings when that bubble burst and plummeted the world into financial ruin.
By 2008, the sheer arrogance and condescending attitude of Bush/Cheney/GOP was too much, I was unable to even look at those criminals without the feeling that America was raped and beaten by them
Then, in the 2008 election,what were we offered?
McCain and Palin, a man whose old enough to die any second, and a totally unqualified moron.
By this time my eyes and ears were wide open on the political scene in America, it was incredibly obvious that the GOP was paying lip service to all the people, while fulfilling the agenda of their true masters, corporations, banks, big oil, and the elite rich in America.
Not only have the GOP kept and maintained that agenda, they have put their efforts into hyper-drive.
The GOP has been blocking jobs bills and other legislation designed to bolster the economy for one reason, to blame Obama and the Democratic party for a failed economy.
The list of liars and buffoons they offered in the 2012 election proves that whoever they put into office is just their puppet, completing their agenda.
What I am asking you, the everyday Republican voter to do, is to ask yourself these questions, and honestly think about the answers you come up with, and when you are finished, if you are still sure that the GOP has yours and Americas best interest at heart, then God bless you, vote GOP, but if you see as I have, that money and power are the only gods they worship, then please reconsider putting them in office, where they can continue to destroy America.
Ask yourself, Why does a party have a standing directive for its members to block any and all legislation proposed by the other party?
Ask yourself, Why does a party vote down bills that would create millions of American jobs?
Ask yourself, why would a party spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, and countless days, holding congressional hearings in the pursuit of scandalizing a President, when there is absolutely no evidence of his wrongdoing?
Ask yourself, why would a party keep touting that we need more corporate deregulation, when we have already see the devastating effects that has?
Now ask yourself this, do you really want to be associated with a party whose philosophy is that the ends justify the means, if we have to lie, deceive, spread false rumors, then so be it? Do you? Really?
I'm not claiming that the Democrats are angels, they have their corrupt and self serving members too, but at least their agenda is to try and help the American people as a whole, not just the top 1%.

I have come to the conclusion that what America is in need of most is women.
The fairer sex constitutes over half the population, yet there are only a small fraction of that now in the house and senate seats.
Why is that?
Not withstanding the idiot Tea party women, or the over the top lunatic women of the far right, women in general seem to be much more adept at getting things accomplished in politics.
We have superb examples of dynamic, hard working, charismatic women in Washington politics right now, and a potential Presidential candidate in 2016 that scares the crap out of the GOP.
Women in places of political authority appear to be much more empathetic to those truly in need in America, and as such are much more effective in overcoming the challenges they present.
Again, discounting the ridiculous idiots that the GOP offers, the women in office today are far and away much more admirable examples of the type of elected officials Americans are starving for than their male counterparts.
There are many noble and honorable men in Washington D.C., but there are also very many who seem to view their job as a game, a game where the loser is us, the citizens of the United States.
The Republican party has alienated itself from virtually every group in America except older white males, their outdated and bigoted mindset doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon, and anything they offer in the form of female candidates, are at best nothing but ignorant morons.
The progressive liberal cause has always been dedicated to electing the candidate who can best accomplish the tasks given them, be they man or woman, black, white, or brown.
I believe we need to encourage more women that they can make a difference in America, that they do have the power to change things for the better.
Washington D.C. is the pinnacle of the backroom deal, it has been that way from the beginning, but women have been excluded from that old boys type of network for most of our history, so the best chance we have in getting elected officials that possess the independence, honesty, and integrity we desire, is to elect more women to office.
