I like Clinton and Obama but I get the feeling they are both "If you can't beat them, join them"

I like Clinton and Obama but I get the feeling they are both "If you can't beat them, join them"
candidates. More Clinton than Obama. All this talk about change yet I feel like little will change with either of them as President. The corporations will continue to grow in power.

Why do the American people always vote for the establishment candidates? :shrug:

Of course it's possible Edwards could be a lying sack of shit but at least he is doing the right things as a candidate. Kucinich too.

1. Edwards Voted for the War...
and he ran on Kerry's ticket as a warmonger.

What is he doing right that has earned your respect?

(I am NOT asking this to bait you. I seriously don't know. I don't have a lot of time to read what's going on in here.)

2. NONE of the candidates are perfect... we can't base our votes on who's the perfectest.

We can only decide whom we trust the most to do what's best for this country, and to put their plans into practice effectively... that's it.

As for me, (obviously) I trust Edwards more. But YMMV, of course. :hi:

4. Me Too. The reason I trust Edwards is because he doesn't slip up
When you truly believe what you are saying it's harder to blurt out the wrong thing. Edwards has been flawless in communicating his message and to accomplish that he has to be speaking from his hear.
