PEOPLE PARTY VS. MONEY PARTY: WHO’S WHO AMONG THE DEMOCRATS

[DUCHESS NOTE: One of the comments made at end of this article said … “It is very clear which direction Hilary Clinton "leans" - she is big money and entrenched power all the way. This woman's loyalty is to herself and no one else. She definitely belongs on the other side.” I so agree with this person’s point of view. Clinton is also pro-war and more Americans are becoming pro-peace. She really doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell in winning the presidential nomination nor election in 2008. I’m hoping that John Edwards runs again for president. He’s got my vote!]

QUOTE OF THE DAY … Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great Mark Twain

[DUCHESS NOTE: I have some relatives who Mark Twain would definitely consider “small people”]
