If you read the Wiki article on Governor Martin O'Malley, and you are a progressive, you would be impressed. If you were a progressive, and you follow Senator Sanders, you would be impressed. To me and many progressives, they represent a non-Wall Street potential for a Democratic or Independent President. Unfortunately, the media in certain circles, is blasting them as unlikely contenders when compared to Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton, Harrison Ford and myself have one thing in common. We were born in Park Ridge, Illinois. We all turned out different and I am proud to be a non-Wall Street Democrat. Ms. Clinton has taken millions of donations from Wall Street, just like our President. So how do we get people like O'Malley or Sanders elected? I truly think we need to Occupy the Media. I watched Morning Joe for about 85% of his interview with Govenor O'Malley and I generally liked what I heard him say. The bubble was burst when Joe quoted Dana Milbank from the Washington Post as follows:
"She (Clinton) doesn't have a credible challenger. O'Malley is actually a serious player with a solid record-and he might well make a good President-but he's campaigning as if he's running to be Clinton's EPA administrator or her OMB director. He may be the Bruce Babbitt of 2016: He appeals to liberal intellectuals, but this wonk is not about to fire up the party base".
I am so sick and tired of the media telling me who I should vote for, who is credible, who isn't, when half the time they're wrong, biased or just trying to get in the spotlight. O'Malley and Sanders at the very least have their hearts in the right place for working class America, are not swayed by big money as most, and are highly intelligent. Isn't that what you want in a President? So, if you agree, email, tweet, call Dana Milbank and others when they try to smear people who could be genuine candidates for the President of the United States. I personally endorse either one and hope you will too. Here's the link to Dana Milbank's smear on O'Malley that Morning Joe repeated unfortunately. http://www.washingtonpost.com/...
