Reply #16: I'm not impressed with the top three at all [View All]

Hillary is probably my least favorite of the group, not only will I not vote for her in the primary, I won't vote for her in the general either. I find her to be corporately compromised, and the most hawkish on the war despite her latest pronouncements.

Edwards I don't trust, and frankly I'm a bit pissed at him for ripping off Dennis Kucinich's platform, trying to become a born again populist. Yet despite his rhetoric, I notice that he continues to accept money for both the financial and legal sector, along with any other corporation that will throw him money. I can easily see him dropping this populist persona as soon as he's elected and going back to his DLC/corporatist/centerist roots. I would have to think long and hard before voting for him in the general, and I certainly wouldn't like doing so.

Obama is an enigma to a great degree. He seems like a run of the mill centerist/corporatist, but he could be disguising a number of things at this point, both good and bad. Again, I would have to think on this one long and hard before voting for him in the general.

Kucinich is about the only one of the bunch that I wholeheartedly support, because he is the only one, in my opinion, who has been right on virtually all the issues all the time. Sadly, he can't overcome both his own party and the media who are all working against him. God forbid we have a genuine peoples' president in the White House.

So depending on who our nominee is, I may or may not vote for them in the general, and will have to wrestle with my conscience in order to do so. I've never been impressed by the slate this time around, and with each passing primary, it becomes worse and worse. Once again, it will come down to whether or not I want to vote for the "lesser of two evils" even though that vote will still be for evil.
