Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee not much different than SF!


 San Francisco Dems argue just like the our local HCDCC. Maybe more nasty. Here is a pretty good analogy by the SF writer:

Let me take a second on this “moderate” tag. Moderates in San Francisco are people who are liberal on social issues – like, frankly, 80 or 90 percent of the city – but conservative on economic issues. Conservative is the right word here: The moderates don’t typically support higher taxes on the rich and big business, don’t support development controls, are weak on tenant issues, don’t think that housing should be a right of all people and pretty much buy into what in the Clinton era we called neo-liberalism.

The progressives (who have economic policies more like the Democratic Party of FDR and Lyndon Johnson) and the moderates (who have economic policies more like the Democratic Party of Walter Shorenstein, Dianne Feinstein and Bill Clinton) have been fighting for decades over the future of a city where there aren’t a whole lot of Republicans.

But the Womens Democratic slate gets nasty.

Just refreshing to hear that we have alot in common with our neighbors to the south.

If you're fiscally conservative and socially tolerant as most people seem to be, you should be voting Gary Johnson for President.

Sure, if you want to waste your vote on a hopeless campaign.

Romney vs. Bobama...clear choice here...forget the marginals, a wast of a vote if you care to vote..this will be a very close contest and Romney will take it to the final hour and win, Obama has not delivered on his Hope thing and we are still at war all over...time for a change!
