29. Yes and no... Problem is that the Republicans are expecting to lose
Edited on Thu Nov-29-07 04:30 PM by glowing
They have put out their worst... and the money is going to the DLC candidates this time around. I think it is really important to recognize who is going to make things better on the democratic side and who is going to continue the status quo. I think there are a few who would work to restore the constitution, work to restore worldwide opinion, and work for the American people. I think there is one candidate in particular who is not going to do a lot, other than make it feel better. I think we know which one that is. Obama is iffy. He is taking a lot of money from corporations. I think he is divided in his own head and heart. I think he'd probably make a great V.P. for someone who is progressive so that he will continue the progressive agenda knowing that it is ok and it is the good thing to do.

I have been stuck between voting for Edwards and Kucinich. Edwards bothers me because when he did go into politics and was in the senate, he seemed to give in and sell out to the DLC. Kucinich bothers me because he thinks Ron Paul would make a good running mate. I don't want a Republican agenda in the white house. I don't believe in that, which is why I'm a Democrat.

For what its worth, I don't believe half the lies that are spread around Ron Paul. MSM is scared of him like they are scared of anyone telling the truth. I don't like Ron Paul because I want social programs, and I don't believe that corporations and mom and pop should have to function by themselves without anything, I believe in schools, and I believe I should be able to pick any Doctor I want and have the medical treatment paid for by the govt program that I have helped to fund through my taxes.

Anyway... I think that a ticket with Edwards/ Kucinich or Edwards/ Obama would be a fine match. Probably, Edwards/ Obama would be ideal because the numbers are there. It will be interesting to see the match up after the big 4. After the big 4, it would be the ideal time for the tickets to align themselves so that we can align numbers better to defeat Hillary. I don't want a Republican and I definately don't want her as our next president. Those scenarios are bad for the country.

Edit: By the way, I think that Edwards is being honest with himself and us now. I don't think he's going to sell out again.
