One small setback for a Congressman, one giant leap backwards for America
Funny how Dennis Kucinich has ALL the correct solutions to what ails America. Sad how Americans seem to always vote against their best interests.

For the first time, we *could have* had a choice other than ‘best of two evils’.

Although Democrats will always be a better choice than a Republican, don’t expect much ‘change’ and definitely not progress from the remaining candidates.

Whereas, a candidate like Dennis Kucinich knows the right things to do, our final Presidential candidate and eventual President will require even more input from us than what we do now. And like I said, don’t expect too much. Just look what our majority Senate and majority House do and not do today…

1. Hell, DUers awarded prizes to posters who called him a 'garden gnome'
They were all shits and giggles making fun of him.

I have zero confidence that this election will change anything at all.

Nader was right.

Americans don't really want change. Maintaining an idealized self-image is of greater import.

Let the karma train roll.

3. I believe you are correct
Nationalism still rules.

The karma train rolls along, and I'm on board.
