Just saw "Going Up River" WOW! Very powerful! [View All]

[Quixote1818]

OK, last year I was inspired by Wesley Clark and worked my ass off for him. It was the first time I have ever been so inspired by a candidate running for president. I saw something magical, inspiring, powerful and earth moving in Wesley Clark. None of the other candidates had that power over me. I was luke warm to all of them including John Kerry. In fact John Kerry really did nothing for me other than I knew he was better than Bush.

Last night I went to see "Going Up River" and as the movie played John Kerry began to grow and grow on me. Some place during the course of the movie John Kerry moved from average to above average to amazing to basically the best candidate for president we have had since perhaps Lincoln. I was in tears as I watched how passionate, how decent, how focused, how brilliant, how inspirational, how kind, how motivated by his heart, how poetic, how humble, how absolutely wonderful a leader John Kerry was for the Anti War movement. I came to realize this guy is not just another presidential candidate, he is the kind of leader who has grabbed my heart in such a profound way I cant help but want to do anything in my power to get this guy elected. This guy is anything but average! He is an inspiration and stands for everything that is just and good and he does it with iron determination! This is a beautiful movie that will give you hope that their are still good and decent people in the world. That their is a reason to be optimistic that truth and goodness will in the end win out over ignorance and hate. Everyone on DU needs to go see this movie and buy tickets for as many people thy know who are still on the fence about John Kerry.

I now have a candidate who inspires me. Who inspires my heart! What a great feeling!
