8. I so much appreciate your understanding.
But I also must take issue with your praise of Kucinich.

I was working on his campaign starting in '03, and I distinctly remember when he dropped poverty from his campaign list of issues.

He WASN'T "the guy".

And working on his campaign, I can tell you that his supporters weren't focused AT ALL on poverty, which also gives a clue what he, as the leader, was promoting with people.

I got completely disillusioned with him.

And with Edwards.

And with "progressives".

And with clergy who supposedly "care".

As I said in another post, we poor folk are political ORPHANS.
