My 2 cents

[KingOfLostSouls]

I've posted sporadically over a number of years but lurk quite a bit. heres my two cents.

I think at this point infighting and going negative is wrong. I think by attacking the front runner, the two 2nd placers are really leaving a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. I myself have split my decisions to support bill richardson or joe biden. in recent weeks, I've decided to support joe biden. the one reason? in all the debates, biden has been the one who has consistently attacked THE REPUBLICANS. he refuses to get himself drawn into the tit-for-tat between the 3 front runners and kucinich. he's stated repeatedly that any democrat on the stage with him would be a far better choice than any republican. and I agree. biden earned my respect when he refused to let chris matthews drag him into attacking hilary, attacking edwards and instead has reserved his most pointed venom towards the republican front runner, making him look like an idiot. is it any wonder wolf blitzer didn't want to give him any mic time at the last debate? the last thing the conservative dominated media wants is a democrat reminding other democrats to attack each other less and instead go after the GOP.

if biden doesn't get the nomination, and I believe he is the most qualified and the only guy putting forward some much needed foreign policy plans, then I will support whoever our partie's candidate may be. be it barack obama, hilary clinton, or john edwards, each one has some kind of baggage of their own, some kind of political expediency. some lack long term experience. but compared to mitt romney? fred thompson? rudy giuliani? thats not even a choice.

ladies and gentleman, the simple fact is we are in the 2nd civil war of america. we have been since january 20th, 2001 when a man who had not won the election was sworn into another man's office. but instead of fighting at the battlefields of the north and south, it is a war of ideas, a war for the soul of the nation. and I for one would rather support someone who agrees with me 90% of the time and is open to the other 10% than give up the election to someone who doesn't support me at all. we cannot afford another 8 years of the republican party, period.

anyone who hasn't yet realized this truly is deaf, dumb, and blind to reality around them.
