It's obvious political and corporate ties win elections in this country

And those who run on important platforms without kissing ass don't stand a chance in this convoluted BS political system. And please don't tell me to be "graceful" about it, because I'm not a candidate for office who HAS to hold my tongue and I don't exactly feel graceful seeing a good candidate falling to 5% in Nevada just because people there would rather vote for who they are told to vote for instead of thinking for themselves. To me the caucus system in these primaries needs to be eliminated because it is simply not democratic. It would be most interesting to me to see Obama, Clinton, Edwards, Kucinich, and any other candidate who wanted to go for it have to start out with the SAME MONEY and the SAME LEVEL of media coverage and then see where they wind up. Very disappointing to see people in this country once again going for media hype and money over good solid policy. I sure hope John Edwards stays in this through Super Tuesday so I get to vote for him (whether it will count is another story) regardless of what happens in SC where I am hoping he has a good showing. But I suppose since he isn't taking money from the big boys that the others are taking it from he doesn't rate media coverage and a chance. Again, it's bs.

:-( It's sad! Dennis, Gravel and now Edwards..
"Media consolidation has blocked out almost all non-corporate voices
in the discussion of public policy issues. Edwards wants less corporate control
over everyday life and has specific programs in mind to move in that direction."

But I will continue to support John Edwards as long as he stays in this.

:patriot: for getting Edwards message out :hug: :yourock:

And MLK's message.

go figure. Edwards, Obama and the others were screwed from the get - go and are to be commended for getting the support they did!!
