Reply #8: We do not have two strong candidates...

[debbierlus]

Sorry, but I don't see either of these people TRULY talking the talk or walking the walk on progressive ideals.

The commitment to a single payer NOT FOR PROFIT health care system (the ONLY solution to the current crisis, mandated health insurance DOES NOT work, I live in MA, people are being fined for not being able to buy into the system and DOCTORS are refusing to
take the new insurance - plus it is economically unsustainable. Costs here in MA are already too high for the state to afford and the projected cost increases over the next few years will destroy this current system)....

And, excuse me, but two candidates think nuclear energy has any place in solving the energy crisis....

We NEED a visionary leader right now.

What we have right now are two corporatist candidates who will try to work the current broken system....the are better on SOCIAL issues and they are not completely insane wackos like McCain. But, they are no progressive visionary leaders. They will just staunch the bleeding.
