...you don't really care what race or gender the doctor is.

This country needs a doctor as far as I can tell.

Hilary and Obama, while not merely waving around band-aids, they don't sound to me like they're going to get to the root of the problem: Corporate Power.

If they can't even name the problem we all know is there then how much change can we expect from them?

Edwards is calling it LIKE I SEE IT. I think he's calling it like we all see it. That's what matters.

While in the long run race and gender issues need to be worked on and in the long run are what need to be fixed.

If we don't do something about corporate power there won't be a next election for any practical purpose. You won't get a chance to work toward other goals, solve other problems, if you can't talk amongst yourselves, meet freely, be secure in your papers and person.

Why will Hilary or Obama even start to address the main challenge if they won't even name it? Is this the tried and true strategy of not dignifying your opponent's scurrilous attacks and tactics? WAKE UP and SMELL the COFFEE! The Republicans don't seem to care about decorum and civility unless it presents it self as a wrench to throw into their opponent's deliberations.

Are Hilary and Obama laying low regarding their plans to thwart corporate distortion of our system and intend to change the system from the inside? Sure they are. Want to buy a bridge?

I'm sure we all agree that the triangulating passive game the democrats have been playing for the past decade plus is a loser strategy, one that Corporate power would love us to keep playing.

I'm sick of watching my supposed representatives petition for me to have gender & race neutral shackles.

No! Given essential freedoms those issues will get ironed-out anyway. Without essential freedoms we're screwed regardless. This election throw the red state idiots a sop and nominate a southern white guy - don't give them an excuse to vote republican, don't hand republican operatives the only remaining juicy chance for them to thwart the will of the general population yet again. Have such a blow-out election with such massive coat-tails that we can overcome the repugs and their sophomoric deliberation terminating tactics without wasting precious time to do so. Given a term or two of that we can go back to our normally scheduled program: wrestling with inequities in wealth, racial prejudice, and sexist discrimination. i.e. the hard work that we need to do carefully when there isn't a coup attempt in progress.

Time to change the game.

Time to apply some punitive measures to those who game the system.

Time for a corporate death penalty! (3 strikes then it's total receivership)

No more cheat and retreat!

No more free coup attempts!

Time for Edwards.
