Election 2008
I will support any candidate from any party who offers an alternative to the Bush doctrine
of corporate hubris, executive arrogance, neo-colonialist aggression, and unending war.
While I am concerned that both Obama, Clinton, and Bush embrace versions of supply-side
economics, corporate healthcare at home, and preemptive aggression & occupation abroad…
I think that either Obama or Clinton might be preferable to the various criminals at the helm.
John Edwards is the most viable alternative for America. His only downside, is that he marches
lockstep with Hillary, Bill, Barack, and George in supporting the execution of American citizens
and other prisoners. No other industrialized democracy on the planet will condone such behavior.
But I would encourage widepread support for John Edward’s campaign and exploration of his
formidable resources and useful ideas. www.WritingResource.info/edwards.html
Edwards beat Hillary in Iowa. He beat the most visible, well-known, and best financed candidate.
(Even though this was largely ignored by the corporate media.) If enough people find out about
his programs before February 5th, he could be elected president.  Obama could be a useful
team member due to his poltitical acumen, organizing abilities, charisma, and support. Â
Hillary has too much baggage and is too willing to resort unseemly tactics and unacceptable
compromise, but she could serve a useful role in a cabinet level position on education. And Dennis
Kucinich can provide useful guidance on a host of issues which matter to the American people.Â
In spite of their variable flaws, (Kucinich is short, shrill, and not particularly presidential) we have
some good people in this horse race.Â
Let us hope it does not remain a dog and pony show.Â
