Reply #22: To be honest I don't know. [View All]

I do know that if one of the current top 3 are nominated then I feel little hope for this country. I hate admitting that, but I can't shake the feeling. I would love to be able to put my faith out there on the line and feel good about anything in the future, let alone a presidential candidate.

The more aware I become of just how little humanity is left in the so-called American Dream and the rampant cognitive dissonance that has set in, I do not feel that I fit in here. Having seen Sicko last night, I began to better understand my feelings of wanting to flee this country. I just want an opportunity for my children to flourish happily in an environment that doesn't constantly promote fear and suffering.

It's a defeatist attitude I know. The only time I get a feeling of hope is when people talk about Gore running, but then others make me feel guilty for asking him to run. And for some reason (again, I blame cognitive dissonance) people won't take Dennis Kucinich seriously, even tho he's the candidate that seems to embody everything the dems claim to have won the elections for last November.

Talk about confusing and heart wrenching times.
