I think the neocons plan to annoint all candidates from here on out

so we can never elect anyone but them. Is anyone else thinking the plan is to never have another real primary? I mean if they can get away with annointing Hillary and defining all candidates that aren't right wing as unelectable, why the heck shouldn't they?

explain that. There are many good democrats but only one person is in the primary? We aren't a little country. It makes no sense.

but all the while they were planting the seeds for the next huge war.

It's up to the American people now.

Either they fall for the same old BS again and get sucked into fighting other people's wars...or they wake up.

My own congressional districts is Steve Kings, and the person the democrats ran against him, is a miserable little stand for nothing, that won't talk about any issues he stands for other than he is bipartisan and an Iraq vet. You can't even tell what he believes by looking at his web site. He worked for Biden, so he is probably pretty right wing.
