WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

Don't Buy a Pig or a Policy in a Poke!

These words in a message from my friend Paul might be helpful to any still- undecided voters visiting Lucy today.   Paul's a smart guy; when he speaks, I pay attention.

 

Ever since I voted for Richard Nixon in 1968 because he had a plan “to get us out of Vietnam”— only to later see that part of his secret plan was to draft me—I have had no confidence in a candidate who says he (or she) has a plan but cannot or will not give specifics.  If you happen to see any of the Republican’s plans that give creditable specifics for improving the economy and creating jobs, ending the war in Afghanistan, improving public education, shoring up Medicare and Social Security, or reducing the deficit, please let me know; I have yet to hear or see anything from them except undocumented promises.  To these I no longer give any credence, based on past Republican performance, or lack thereof.
