| 52. right now, any democratic candidate |
|
why? because we have come as close to destroying this country as we possibly could due to the policies of the republican party and the bush administration in particular. i appreciate the link to the whole speech. i did not find that in my searches and that is the kind of response i am looking for.
but the divisiveness on this website is disheartening and speaks loudly to why this party is in shambles. i think it would benefit us all to be a little more open-minded and receptive to differences in opinion. isn't that what we are really about?
and my initial objections to edwards had to do with his legal history and my personal experiences in healthcare. but i am trying to move away from that single issue and get a bigger picture.
so, thanks for asking. i appreciate that.
