“Now, I went into the Army as a Republican, I came out as a Democrat, and it completely changed my outlook on a lot of things. And when you live side by side with your fellow soldiers and you realize that they're not a number, that they're actually human beings and they have families, it's a lot harder, I think, to talk about sending them to die for things that aren't really that important.” ThinkingImportantRealizingChangedRepublicanArmyDemocratSoldier Author:Markos Moulitsas
“I don't necessarily have any designs in being in politics for the rest of my life. I don't necessarily think that this is the best thing for our country to have an environment so polarized that the political discourse is this aggressive and this nasty. I don't think it's a good thing. But until we see a sort of backing off from the Republicans that have created this environment, I don't see a reason why Democrats should hold off and act any differently.” ThinkingCountryReasonPoliticalEnvironmentDesignRepublicanGood ThingsDemocratAggressiveNasty Author:Markos Moulitsas
