6. I can't agree more
What is sad though, most democrats here probably agree too, yet they go to the polls and vote for democrats each time. But I understand the problems, I too voted for Kerry. I wish I'd voted for Nader now, but some slim hope in me (idiot-hope really) though Kerry just might have some outside chance. But as usual, the uneducated, poorest area of the country, with the least health care, voted Republican. Alabama the stupid.

I think many democrats fail to realize that the Green Party, or Ralph Nader is actually the democratic party of old. How can they realize the truth, when the media that calls itself liberal, is so incredibly conservative? Our population is hopelessly duped, and let us face it, with the exception of a few folks that traverse this web site, ignorant as hell. Witness the growth of the pseudo-reality shows. It makes me gag to see people sell their dignity for a buck, but apparently people enjoy watching morons sit around degrading themselves, or chat about how Suzy is such a hussy, throwing herself at Tom (whatever).

What we need is a democrat to exactly mirror the republican in the race, thus splitting the vote. At the same time, we need a charismatic independent, not Nader since the media has drained him of any political capital he ever possessed, but someone who is good looking (superficial, we are in America) yet as well-spoken as Nader. Maybe then we'd have some chance by splitting the hard-liners, and breaking off enough who recognize the message. But we dare to dream, and surely they will be crushed. The control-fix is in, and we now have a dictatorship, and Republicans will not be motivated to fix the voting machinery they have now set in place. Perhaps our only hope is for states with Democratic governors and legislators to attempt to steal the elections for Democrats. Too bad, can't we all be honest? Guess not.
