Pic Of The Moment: "We Must Save Our Country Now ... By Rebuilding The American Dream"



In His Speech, Martin O'Malley Put Our Nation's Values and Ideals at the Forefront of His Advocacy

As you know I don't normally post Pics Of The Moment on weekends. However, I've put up a pic for each of the announced Democratic candidates so far, so I'm doing one today for Martin O'Malley.

But hope to be educated soon, though, I do tend to think, I will stick with the current person I am supporting.

Also, where does he stand on campaign finance reform/Publicly Funded Elections? Still extremely happy with Bernie, but nice to have a back up plan. They would compliment each other if they ended up as running mates.

... and that one's got some hair on it. Give us some meat. How ya gonna DO it? Bernie's given us detailed plans. What are you gonna do, arrest half the fuckin' city... AGAIN?

I KNOW Bernie's an honest man. I have serious doubts about you, O'Malley.

Boy do I love living in Iowa now. But I attended both rallies today and Bernie had about 350 people at his event. About 250 were inside the building and another 100 of us were outside in the cool day. O'Malley had about 150-200 at his event. I must say that he does have energy and is sounding very progressive to me.

I don't really care for platitudes and slogans. Bernie is different and the real thing because he talks directly about policy.
