Who will be our POLITICAL MESSIAH?!?!

[polichick]

Well, here we are, about a year after our moment of HOPE following the election of 2006, and a year before our moment of RECKONING. And, as many good things as we can all say about our Democratic candidates ~ that singular, prescient, fearless leader who could take us into the next era has not yet stepped onto the stage. (At least, in my opinion.) Maybe Gore will save us, we thought. Maybe it would be Kucinich. Maybe there will be an Indie candidate...

After all that has happened in the last seven years, we know in our bones that the election of 2008 should be a PARADIGM-CHANGING historic event, one that turns the status quo on its ear, stops American fascism in its tracks, and unites progressives of all generations. We know that we have arrived at a crucial moment, that the very existence of our democracy and our planet is at stake ~ and yet our field of candidates reflects neither the seriousness of our situation nor the great opportunity that exists because of it.


So, where do you think our POLITICAL MESSIAH might come from???



(Of course I'm using the word "messiah" in the sense of a non-religious leader of hope and vision.)
