pointcounterpoint … Happy Holidays

I do not always side with the things I post, but the point to my blog; is to blow off steam … offer up some info from those who know maybe question and challenge some who think they know and ask plead yell for a call to action with signatures that can create change. The thing that folks need to know, Words do Matter contrary to how most conservatives seem to feel. I thank everyone who even takes the time to visit my blog, read, and respond to the articles, blasts and even some actually sign petitions. I thank you … much gratitude.

Please keep them coming … well, within reason. ( :

I receive newsletters, action alerts, petitions, and everything under the sun about politics, pop culture and a lot of petitions. I subscribe to most and disperse them because frankly there was a time when I wished I had seen this that or the other petition only for the time to have run out to add my name to online form.  I do not happen to side with every democratic leader. I do see a need for better democrats to run for office and though progressives have run progressive candidates against the President’s Admin choices with less than great end results (losing most if not all) the platform for Dems is slim or none. I do not endorse all Dems and age is not a deal breaker to me but I respect the comments of those who respond and you should submit all your concerns to those Dems in leadership positions. I happen to support President Obama and while the push for public option and single payer among other legislation was tough, some forget all those blue dogs and Hillary clintonites who made life on the Hill distasteful with continuous votes against President Obama. I voted for a President not a Puppet so the health care reform outcome is what it is. I lean left and contrary to a lot of progressives I actually trust the President enough to say ok he has had to change directions on this that the other for a reason.  In most cases it is because of Congress – Tea party, Republicans  and while we have come a long way it does seem as if conservadems have made a mess out of our Democracy – We should not be scared of young candidates and all of our candidates should be honest, live as much of the  democratic ideology as possible, harbor NO Tea party leanings whatsoever and no corruption.

I do not know if a “proven progressive leader” is what our country needs or not, but if you have read a post or two and  feel this strongly for or against a post that seems to endorse what you think is an awful democrat, offer up a candidate that we all can support and let the DNC know . I want to thank everyone for responding to any post on my blog and shining a light on issues that may have been missed since the first person of colour earned his right and place in the office of President.

Last, the blogging community I follow is very constructive, provide great information on many topics and levels … check them out.

Happy Holidays ! … Point4CounterPoint will be back
