Edwards is the best, so smear smear smear (but only because Kucinich is a chump)
Dennis Kucinich is easily my favorite candidate, if not for his incredibly naive foreign policy. I was planning to protest vote for him, even though I knew he didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning, because I believed in his politics. He's a real populist, a consumer's advocate, a thinking man's Ralph Nader.
Until he appeared on Real Time and said he wouldn't kill Osama if he had the chance, even though Bill tried to talk him out of it for about 2 or 3 minutes. He said that war was off the table and he'd rely on the U.N.
I'm not going to turn this into a letter about the U.N., but I'll say that they only thing they ever seem to want to do is to censure Israel. They don't seem to give an owl shit about genocide. They don't care that a billion people are starving, and dying of diseases that corrupt drug companies have managed to over-extend the patent for the cure of.
But somehow they are going to keep us safe? I can't name one truly historically great thing that the U.N. has ever done. Having said that, I invite all of you to educate me. As far as I can see, the U.N. is a dragon with nine heads; it is so busy trying to devour itself, it doesn't even have time to eat the villagers.
Enter John Edwards, a true populist, and a former trial lawyer. Repugnookies would like to make trial lawyer a dirty word, but it means he made his money by fighting for consumer rights, against amoral, fictional entities known as corporations. He's not as liberal as Kucinich, but he's a hell of a lot more electable. So they're scared, not just of him, but also that his ideas will catch on. So he must be angry.
Obama makes pretty speeches, but so did Bill Clinton. Bill was the best Republican president we ever had. He sure as hell wasn't any sort of liberal, but he also wasn't Bush or Reagan or Nixon or Eisenhower or Hoover. Obama seems to be of the same mold as Bill. Did he join in on the pseudo penis comparison about who marched picket lines longer? I only read the article, didn't see the debate so I don't know. I kind of doubt it.
Edwards/Obama is the dream team. Anyone the Republicans put up against them would be a joke by comparison. The country would be run fairly well for a change, and after eight years Obama would be the first president with a lot of African ancestors.

Re: Ron Paul and Kucinich
People who would rather be right than be President always get their wish. Just ask President Goldwater and President McGovern.
Personally, I'll take someone who can win.

You'd have to be dead
to not be angry over what has transpired over the past seven years. Humans tend to show strong emotion especially when they think they are being subjected to lies and fear-mongering, and a raping of their civil liberties for the sake of oil to line the pockets of already nauseatingly rich people. That said, lets place Bushit and his ilk on a caning list. How's that for anger..

Angry Dems, just might represent the "angry Americans"
The anger that John Edwards is talking about is a palpable emotion that many mainstream Americans are feeling. We work more, and earn less than our parents did. Our kids are disillusioned and entitled at the same time. We have a broken healthcare system, we are engaged in an endless and expensive war and we see the results of the sad legacy that our parents generation has left to us. Maybe we need a new vision and a change in direction.
