O'Malley: 'We Have to Look to the Future.'
Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley wants his party to lean forward. In an interview this morning with ABC News, O'Malley said that Democrats "have to look to the future." And he wants his party to have more debates.
"As a party, we need to wake up, we need to start having debates about the issues that really matter, like making college more affordable for more families, making wages go up and not down, making the investments that allow us to move to a 100 percent clean energy future as a nation so we can square our shoulders to the challenge of climate change," said O'Malley.
"Until we start having debates and offering those ideas that move our country forward, we’re going to be bogged down by questions of ‘what did Hillary Clinton know and when did she know it?
"And we cannot allow our Party to be branded by those sorts of questions of the past. We have to look to the future and we have to offer the ideas that move our country forward for the future. That’s why these debates are so important."

The "ISSUES" are what matters, yet here on DU it seems to be all about who can keep their ridiculous posts about anything "BUT" the issues on the front page. Maybe I have missed it, but I can't seem to really find any posts about the issues, except those the O'Malley supporters post. I also have only seen one candidate actually put in writing what they will do to make sure the issues are addressed, and then explain how they will work on their agenda to change those things. That would be O'Malley.
I guess the "pie throwing" the "trashing and bashing" and of course string up things to keep the board divided is all some want to do around here. I do think many here would rather discuss the issues, but one group seems to just wants to keep on pushing posts about such things off the front page so they don't have to deal with them.
