away from what the repubs have been doing. We want to *fight* them with new ideas, fresh methods, and a will to do the best for all people. Not stay rooted in outdated policies that no one else honors any longer. (sigh) That's just my opinion. But then, I really do like the fighting attitude this new younger people bring. Reminds me of what I was doing at that age. This is the age to do it; when you feel invincible. Wait too long, and not only age gets you -- but inertia does, too. It's not only alway wisdom that comes with age.
