I apologize to the posters here on Tornado - how this disintegrated into this - I can't even remember .
my goal is and has always been to elect better democrats to office - it has never been to get into personal sniping as we do . Yes , I have been guilty of it . But - there is progress .. ;) .. ! .. LoL .. I have done less of it than I use to .
I have no idea who the candidate will be - I hope it will be someone I can 100% support - I may have to compromise - well , I have done that before , many times in my life , with members of my family. ;) - husband , children - I have learned to compromise ;) .. yes it is the way of life.
My dreams and my ideals are just that . Dreams and ideals . I live here - in the real world .
I will vote for the one that gives me the most , (even though it may be little ) that align with my principles .
Many , many people , in my life have asked me - who do you vote for ? They have always told me about their 'person' - AND - my response has always been the same - I never vote for the 'man' - I have ALWAYS VOTED PRINCIPLES and - that is why I have always ended up voting for democrats - it's really simple - if you look at it like I do .
What are my principles ?? - well not too much different than the sermon on the mount .
The Sermon on the Mount
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
