10. I think this post sums it up quite well
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x172738#174754

Where it really counts, John Kerry is there. What we want and what we need are two separate things.

We need for the legitimate issues to be brought forward through investigation and legal proceedings.

We want to see John Kerry leading the assault.

Sometimes we can not have everything we want when we want it. Sometimes we have to fight, just because it is the right thing to do.
Sometimes we have to pick ourselves up from the depths of discouragement to fight just one more day...

This is our country. I trust and believe in John Kerry, and I find his words deeply inspiring, but he is not what I fight for. I would love to see Kerry in the White House, but that is not my sole cause.

I fight because this nation has been hijacked by a corrupt band of corporate thieves that will stop at nothing to retain power. I fight to expose the crimes they have perpetrated on the American people. I fight to educate other Americans in the truth of what this government has become. I fight to bring attention to the woeful treatment our soldiers are receiving as they are conscripted into longer and longer terms of service to support *'s little war for corporate wealth.

So to answer your post, I empathize with you. But, I have faith in the issues that I fight for. I know that John Kerry has similar values that he holds very deeply. I believe that he knows the truth about the election antics, why else would he have joined in the legal proceedings. I also believe that he will be addressing us very soon.

No Retreat No Surrender
