Last night, we went to a town hall meeting focusing on the Iraq War. There was one person who spoke about how this thing has failed, and how we need to get out of there, and another who spouted the same old tired talking points about Saddam was bad, gassed his own people, yada, yada, yada.

Then there was a panel, made up of our elected officials (Congress, and the United States Senate), and those that are running against them. That is, they were all invited, but…

On the other hand, we did get the three Democrats running against Jimmy Walsh (longtime Bush buttboy, and before that, he sucked a lotta Newt and Delay, too), and Steve Greenfield, who is runing for the Democratic nomination for US Senate, against Hillary Clinton. He was, by far, the highlight of the evening, and he’s got my vote in the primary.

My choice for the Democratric primary for Congress was also solidified, as Dan Maffei looks like a solid choice, even if he is pretty entrenched in the whole Democratic party machine. He’s shown up at peace events, and has said he oppopsed Iraq from the beginning. It’s very important to get this Walsh clown out, and I just hope Maffei can do it.

Enjoy your Friday.
