Undersetimate the power to change peoples outlooks.

I always try to look at candidates and figure out which one is going to put food on peoples tables. I also look at which ones are capable of taking on the ultimate task of our lifetime, ending warfare for good.

I just think its time people stop looking at candidates from a defensive angle. Pick one based on the issues that mean most to you. I think people who wer hung up on electability picked Kerry because that's what they saw him as, electable.

They were wrong.

Three candidates that stuck out to me in that election that would have made better candiates were;

1) Howard Dean

2) Dennis Kucinich

3) Carol Mosely Braun

I think the candidates we've gotten over the years; Kerry, BushI, BushII, Dole and Clinton were as inspiring to me as my high school principle. Not one of them were capable of doing shit and none of them took responsibiliy for a fucking thing.

Kerry probably wouldnt have gotten so much support had Bush not been such a divisive asshole. Could you imagine an election between Kerry and Dole?

Talk about a sleeper!!!

That would have been as inspiring as and motivating as Bush II and Gore.
