Should those of us who wanted Kucinich or Edwards....
Advertisements [?]
pull out of our Progressive E-Mails? I'm having a hard time supporting Move On.org. or Buzzflash since they seem to be "force feeding me" a candidate.

I will vote for the Dem Nominee in November...but I feel I've been "cut out of the loop" of the very sites I supported since 2000 Selection.

I took myself off Ted Kennedy and John Kerry's e-mail alerts...but still am on all the other Progressive ones.

They don't speak to ME, anymore, though because I can't really feel good about either Hillary or Obama.

Ralph Nader has become a sad joke...trashing his early years of all the good work he did for Consumer Advocacy...so ...he makes me barf..

What do I do? I'm sick of having either Hillary or Obama IN MY FACE ..24/7...when there is so little difference between them. Have watched ALL THE DEBATES...and gone to their websites. There's very little difference.

Where's a "Populist Dem" to go these days. And, should I be angry that I feel the "NEW LIBERAL INTERNET" kind of let me down...sort of "rolled over me ...leaving the tire tracks" when so many worked for them all these years.

For those of us who've been "around the bend a few times" the choice was so CENTRIST/RIGHT...we just don't understand how after an Election Decided by the US Supreme Court and 7 + Years of BUSH ADMINISTRATION Criminal Activity, with Trashing of our Constitution and VIOLATIONS AGAINST PERSON AND PROPERTY....I should be faced with two candidates that don't seem to want to do ANYTHING about it?

Instead these two candidates do what politicians ALWAYS DO...promising "Chicken in Every Pot"...Some kind of "Health Care" and "Education for All"..that will be cheaper that what Repugs Promise.

WHAT HAPPENED TO REAL ISSUES? What about these WARS SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF AMERICA? What about these TRADE AGREEMENTS that RAPED OUR JOB MARKET?

:shrug: I think that I've been "HAD"....I feel "USED"....I think they "PLAY WITH MY MIND" and take my "MONEY" then leave me in the street with a knife in my back.

Melodramatic? Yeah...but at least I WILL SAY IT... Because IT NEEDS TO BE SAID...
