campaigning as usual has to go: rant

[Lerkfish]

The population is TIRED TIRED TIRED of negative slash and burn campaigning business as usual.
Politicians have got to start LISTENING to where people are -- we are close to the most fascist america has been since the mccarthy hearings, and people want us to pull back from the brink, not give us more of the same.
I HOPE the DLC and the democrats finally start to get it as Obama surpasses Clinton's nasty campaigning.

Just to be clear, though, between the two choices, I'll choose Obama, but I'm not convinced either of them is the stalwart against facsism that we truly need at this point in history. I hope whomever wins proves me wrong, but I'm not holding my breath.

what we NEED is a martin luther king jr. What we have are a triangulator and a newbie. I sincerely hope the winner will draw people to them that ARE the next martin luther king.

I can dream, can't I?

1. Lerkfish, he is just another beltway insider

I don't see him any different then any other politician. He's just a fresh face on the scene, just like a loaf of bread, it starts out fresh but eventually molds, and I'm seeing the start of the mold already. If people really didn't want a beltway insider they would have voted Kucinich but the two party system will never allow that.
