I have lived here for almost three years. When I arrived here, I was a political neophyte. I learned so much during my time here. This blog truly was the best, for anyone beginning in their political journey.
So why am I going to be leaving here?
Because Marcos no longer follows his own mission statements.
He's unabashedly a partisan, rooting only for ONE Democrat - Obama.

His alignment with Obama, against Hillary, strictly opposes his own mission statement, which is to elect Democrats. Hillary has always, and far longer than Obama, fought for Democratic values.
Kos is now a King-maker, and uses his powers accordingly. He's no longer a voice for all of us, as those who try to speak out for our own candidate, get slammed, abused, ridiculed, and dismissed.
As far as I know, Hillary has been a life-long Democrat, fighting for children, families, women abroad, and much more.
I am appaled at the site I put my trust into since 2003, when I first arrived here.
Nothing Hillary has done has deserved the hate and treatment given to here here, at the very site that supposedly promotes our Democrats.
At this point, no-one except for Obama, is a true Democrat, regardless of years and years on end having brought us the very things that you and I now can protest against.
It's really ugly. And I hope that some of you who just recently joined into the political dialogue, will take the time to check out the history of those of us who fought hard and diligently against the powers we're still against right now.
We're not oldies. We're the ones who brought up that whole mess back then. Did we win all the battles? No, we didn't. Did we further the dialogue and get things done so that you, our youngsters, could express youselves freely, even against us - YES.
It's really hard for a lot of us who fought for you to at least have these rights, while now you dismiss us because we didn't win it all.
I will watch you, support you, and check in with you in a couple of years, to see how much better you have done.
Cheers, love, and all power to you.
