So America is now “ready for change”
Wow, it only took 7 years of cosmic agony for the country to come to that conclusion? And for a staggeringly large swath of imbeciles, “change” should come in the form of another Republican in the White House. What a joke.

1. I am for change
but so far i really don't see it in any of the candidates. All I hear is Hope and Change whoopie. But if I look under the hype it is pretty much the same old song and dance. What hope? What change? Seems like another catch phrase of zero substance is catching on.

2. FWIW Edwards talks every day about challenging "Corporate Greed"
and directly confronting Corporate Powers and taking away the advantages and perks they have been given over the years by Repug admins,

I don't hear the other top two talking in such confrontational or aggressive terms.

3. Sorry it just does not
seem sincere to me. Between 2004 and now what did he do to personify that corporate image fighter other than camp out in Iowa?

5. He took on plenty of corporations when he was a lawyer
As to his "sincerity" you are of course entitled to think that.

At any rate to me he seems just as sincere as Obama or Hillary.

(Actually he seems more sincere than either of them to me)

4.  Some people protested , some donated , many wrote and called
But none of this did one bit of good . Cindy Sheehan worked for change and yet after all of this here came Nov 2006 and high hopes rose , what happened , nothing .

I have got to the point in my old age that it is not the people who ever had the power unless they revolted , putting faith in politics always seems to render the same results , some better than others but in the end the people , the masses get screwed .
