So what did I forget? Post your additions below and I will weigh in later today.
I'm tired of candidates who make me fell like I should be embarrassed to believe what I believe. I'm tired of getting them elected. I'm not going to curl up in a corner any more and say "Please don't hurt me!"
The only way we will ever start getting Democrat leaders with courage is to stop supporting wishy washy move to the center to get along types, and start supporting people who are proud of what they stand for and will stand up and fight.
The American people believe what we believe. What's missing is leadership and I'm going to provide it!
I'm going to come out swinging for regular hard working Americans, and I'm going to fight for the things we need and the government we deserve!
If you want to fight too, I welcome you aboard. We have a world to change and lives to save!
But if you don't have the stomach for it, then stay the hell out of the way! (and yeah, that includes you, Joe--you have forfeited the right to be called Senator!)
"I too am not a bit tamed....I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp across the rooftops of the world."
