When ideology trumps reality we end up with hollow legislation and little that addresses the concerns of "the people" that said elected represents. In Donna's case, I fear that a cult of personality has formed around her creating a bubble in which she believes her own spin.Socrates in Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16254977529743732288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939215487471290749.post-84340046592388455092007-09-14T14:50:00.000-07:002007-09-14T14:50:00.000-07:00Well if we're gonna speak hard truths, then let's ...Well if we're gonna speak hard truths, then let's face reality. Donna is not a politician, she is an elected political activist. Like an activist she sees things in black and white with no shades of gray. This is her strength and her weakness. Politicians have a goal and are willing to compromise on things as long as there is progress toward the goal, political activists want all or nothing, they aren't willing to join coalitions if it includes people who they view as suspect. A great example of this is Mike Aguirre. If Scott Peters supports something than either there's a loophole for his cronies to profit or it's just evil...
