Reply #37: I feel the same way.

I'm fighting the urge to simply withdraw from the whole process. I plan to vote for John Edwards in the primary and then, well, I don't know where to go from there.

I've always been an easy vote for the Democratic party. I had preferences in the primaries but, for the most part, didn't get really excited or involved until the general election and then I happily donated, campaigned and voted for the Dem candidate. It never occurred to me to do otherwise. This year, with Corporate Candidate A-vs-Corporate Candidate B, carefully selected for me by the Corporate Media, I feel like we've already lost something far greater than the election.

I read words like "magic" and "unity" and "history" and feel like I'm in PeeWee's Playhouse just waiting to learn today's secret word from the corporate shills. "Scream real loud?" Sorry but I've lost my voice. In fact, we all have, we just don't all realize it yet.
