I'm right in the middle of all of this. I'm furious that Americans aren't all in line with Kucinich, one of the finest people to come to the presidential lineup in decades. Maybe ever. I think all of our candidates are good enough. But I also cannot fathom how these clowns just gave away our Constitution by letting Bush invade a country. And even I knew Saddam wasn't an imminent threat.

But, we're also at war, as a party. The Republicans are demons. We simply don't have the luxury of voting our hearts. They've worked hard to erode this democracy. And to let them take us down any further would be a disaster.

I think we fear that if we end up with someone like Hillary, we are not advancing the Democratic cause, but just going right down the middle, between evil and Democratic. It's not the middle of the road. It's yielding to the devil.

But I think you're right. The alternative to working as a team is much worse than not getting Kucinich for a president. It's getting Giuliani.

But here is one tiny reason why I tend to agree with the original post- We are where we are today, in American politics, because Americans didn't care enough to think and vote. Bush, a second term!? That was simply insane. Yes it was stolen. But to be even close enough to steal was a disgrace to the world. A testament to our idiocy. So maybe America needs ten Giuliani's. Maybe then they'd realize what they're missing. But that sucks. That hurts everyone.

Well. That's my silly thinking. Not much, in a lot of words.
