(110,159 posts)Word on the issue. I have no problem our candidate playing by the same rules to win.... while recognizing the need to address the issue. Seems merely pragmatic and smart to make sure a win, than to cut off the nose to spite the face.

(110,159 posts)And his continued fail all along the way. He is the one that is all talk, and no follow thru. There is a process that must legally be followed. Him standing up and waving a wand accomplishes nothing.
He is all talk on most all his issues, which is the reason I trust him least.

I can stand at the podium and make all kinds of declarations, too. Doesn't mean anything will even reasonably happen.

We are crazy to want to stop the fracking for Chevron profits while destroying the environment. We are crazy because we want to save SS and not turn it over to Goldman-Sachs. Crazy to not want our family and friends (the 99%) being sent to die in foreign lands for corporate profits. It will be a hard fight but we are willing to fight. Sadly we have to fight Democrats that want to keep the status quo that put us where we are.

Edited to add:
This is interesting: Saban National Political Leadership Training Seminar
Saban sponsors the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee's Saban National Political Leadership Training Seminar, a series of semiannual seminars in Washington to provide college student activists for three days of intensive pro-Israel advocacy training.[31] The seminars provide up to 300 students from a hundred campuses with training in order to "prepare for challenges and opportunities on their campuses and [the students] left Washington prepared to mobilize for legislative and electoral impact during the next school year and into campaign '08."[32] Among the prominent figures to have addressed the seminars are Senator Evan Bayh and Congressman Mark Kirk and academics David Makovsky, Robert Satloff and Dennis Ross.[32]
