Barack's agenda has not been discussed openly, but if he becomes the party's nominee, look out. Hillary is right, she has a much better chance.

Here's why:

1. Barack wants to expand hate crime enforcement -- that will play well with the Independents and middle of the roaders, don't you think.

2. He wants to do away with minimum prison sentences -- wow, that will play real well with middle America.

3. He wants to reform the death penalty and greatly expand EEOC. Oh yeah, good platform for unity, huh.

Here's his source: http://www.barackobama.com/issues/pdf/HowardConvocation...

6. Interesting that you call yourself "progressive"...
 ... yet you seem to have a problem with the enforcement of Hate Crime convictions, the abolishment of mandatory minimum sentencing, reform of the death penalty, and expansion of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Did you stumble upon the wrong forum today, progressive25?

10. I notice you just got here. 1) This is a Democratic board. 2) Your handle 
 is a misnomer. 3) Obama IS the presumptive nominee and you have very little time left to post this crap, so probably should decide now where you're going.

Hey, he left "Only slightly more qualified than the average housecat" off that list....

 

Of course the average housecat isn't married to some psycho privileged Black woman who thinks she is the frickin' reincarnation of Bakunin, either...

Talk about leaping to conclusions...these folks get their knickers in a wad without even comprehending what the OP said. The OP didn't say she/he/it didn't believe in any of these progressive ideals...just that they wouldn't play well in "flyover" country. It's exactly right, too. But reality isn't their strong suit so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Hey, if they get read of minimum sentences sentences they should do away with maximum as well. It would be amusing to see some killer get a billion years in prision with a chance for parole after eight hunderd million years.
