68. Hard truth that needs to be said -- mourn for Kerry if you must, but
get over it and start organizing a grass roots fight to take our country and our democracy back. We have got to look to each other and not depend on some future nominee. If someone emerges who can speak for us; who truly articulates what we believe -- Great! But let us never again be co-opted by electoral/candidate politics and compromise the greater vision of this country to any one man or party. This is a long time struggle for the survival of this country -- whether that can be accomplished through party politics is doubtful. Personally I think Kerry shot his wad -- his moral compass was so far out of order and his position on Iraq especially was pathetic; the fact that he couldn't even find himself on the right side of that ethical divide was suicide. Don't make excuses -- ORGANIZE!

WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE POWER! DON'T FORGET IT!
