i voted for Kucinich ... he is not just the party's future but the country's future ... progressives often see the way long before their message is co-opted by the moderates ...

there was little explicitly stated in your post to disagree with ...

the BIG DISAGREEMENT i have with you, however, is not what you put in your post but what you left out of it ...

it is the dead elephant lying in the middle of your living room ... and you all too conveniently pretended it didn't exist ...

this is not to say that you are unaware of it ... but go look at your post ... the word doesn't appear anywhere ... and the word is: bush ...

bush is not just bad because he's a right winger ... he's not bad just because of this policy or that one ... he, in his blundering ignorance, has allowed our government to be taken over by evil men ...

we have never had an administration this eager to do away with habeus corpus ... "throw them in jail and don't even let them see a lawyer" ... invade Iraq for your friends at Halliburton while you cut veterans benefits ... bankrupt the treasury so we can do away with social security and other "discretionary" spending like education, aid for the poor, medical research ... and millions will suffer ... if you haven't liked bush for the last 3 years, imagine what he'll be like when he doesn't have to face the voters again !!

i'm not trying to scare or bully anyone ... you go do what you have to do ... you can see what bush has done to this country as clearly as i can ... you don't need me to scare you ... but don't try to tell me this is just another election ... bush is a very powerful destructive force ...

will 4 years from now "magically be a better time" ??? all i can say is it damned well better be ... bush has got to go ... we need to make a 100% commitment to ensuring he does ... there is no alternative ...
