If you STILL have doubts about our corporate-backed frontrunners,Vote For Dennis!
Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 03:46 AM by Ken Burch
You can STILL vote for a progressive candidate and a progressive platform.

You can STILL push our media-chosen "leaders" to take the stands you REALLY want them to take.

You can STILL get our party to increase its chances of victory by running as a REAL alternative to Cheneyism-Bushism.

You can STILL make a difference.

Dennis is on the ballot in all states except for Democrats for Nixonism-Reaganism(DLC)controlled Texas.

Cast a vote that matters.

Vote Dennis Kucinich, wherever you live.

The discussion is not over.

"...Hedges: Have we evolved into a corporate state?

Kucinich: I Look at it as the political equivalent of genetic engineering. That we've taken the gene of corporate America and shot it into both political parties. So they both now are growing with that essence within. So what does that mean? It means oil runs our politics. Corrupt Wall Street interests run our politics. Insurance companies run our politics. Arms manufacturers run our politics. And the public interest is being strangled. Fulfilling the practical aspirations of people should be our mission. How do we measure up to providing people with jobs? It was a Democratic president that made it possible for NAFTA to be passed, causing millions of good-paying manufacturing jobs that help support the middle class. . . .

NAFTA, GAT, the WTO, China Trade, and every other trade agreement that's passed in Congress has been passed with the help of either the leadership of or with the help of the Democratic Party, knowing that each and every one of those agreements was devoid of protections for workers, knowing that if you don't have workers' rights put into a trade agreement then workers here in the United States are going to see their own bargaining position undermined because corporations can move jobs out of the country to places where workers don't have any rights. They don't have the right to organize, the right to collective bargaining, the right to strike. So what I see is that the Democratic Party abandoned working people, and paradoxically they're the ones who hoist the flag of workers every two and four years only to engender excitement, and then to turn around and abandon their constituency. This is now on the level of a practiced ritual..."

13. I've agonized over this decision for a while
I will definitely vote Kucinich. At this point there is no reason to vote for Edwards as he has been just as marginalized. Obama is not different enough from Hillary to justify my vote, and Hillary, well she's got the backing of the DLC and occassionaly a neo-con will very quietly endorse her.
