I'm not one trick either. You weren't reading my post. You think the Mitten would have made noises about pot being like alcohol? It's very important to me that the drug war end- and Obama is making the kind of noises about that that I LOVE. Don't ask don't tell repeal- and gay rights? Really? None of that matters to you? How about any of these things? washingtonmonthly.com I get being partisan. We all are. But I don't get being blind.

"I understand the Court thing. You want Pro-Choice Judges sitting on the Supreme Court. I can't disagree there, but I'm not a one pony trick voter." It's hardly just that. It's reversing Citizen's United. It's declaring money is NOT equal to speech. It's deciding that gun ownership really does only apply to a "well regulated militia". It's declaring that corporations are NOT "people", and don't deserve the political rights of people. Those are just the one's off the top of my head. More than that, it's the corporatist horrors an even more conservative Supreme Court might inflict this country with. Things we can't even imagine.
