The reason I am an angry Edwards Supporter.
Advertisements [?]
I am an angry Edwards supporter because my Party , in collusion with the MSM, has deprived me of my voice.It has taken away my right to make a choice.

It is now painfully obvious that some sort of backroom deal, that we are not allowed to talk about, forced my candidate, who had the only decent platform representing the people against the corporations, out of this race.They did it so they could "make history" and enact their American Idol like Showcase at the Kodak theater without the interjection of any "reality".And I call BS on their History. I don't care about their gender and race wars.

I call BS on all the backroom deals, the lies and the misinformation that has been spread in order to ensure that those of us who cared about a platform instead of a "celebrity" be marginalized.

Damn straight, I am angry and I will continue to be.The future of the nation is not something to play games with and what we have just seen gamesmanship at the highest level.

I alway knew we had been deprived of our votes in 2000 and in 2004 but this time,it seems we have lost our voice in our Primary as well. It is sad that we cannot do better and I am ashamed and angry.

I will continue to work to make sure that the platform of the Peoples Candidate gets attention by trying for Delegates. Make,no mistake this is not about a personality.It is not about John Edwards. It is about what he and what we as a nation ought to stand for.

Some will say this is just "sour grapes".But it is not.It is the culmination of a long period of disillusionment.This time, however, I will know I at least tried, in some small way, to give voice to the voiceless.

I will stand with the poor and disenfranchised who get no benefit from these backroom deals. I will support the platform of John Edwards on Feb,5th.
