Down to two Dem candidates
After watching http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5547481422995115331&q=Zeitgeist&total=1035&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0">Zeitgeist, The Movie, I think that I can only support someone from the so-called far left. Of those currently running, Dennis Kucinich comes to mind.

With the media going after Edwards, he remains a possiblity too. If Edwards weren't a threat to the status quo, why would they be going after him?

Kucinich sounds "off" and "far left extremist" only because we've travelled so far to the right. As I type this, both head and heart are saying Kucinich.

The powers that be need to be stopped.

2. Interesting - after the recent debates I came to the same conclusion - Kucinich or Edwards. nt

3. As Mr. Kucinich so eloquently said this morning
on This Week, "I'm at the center. I'm for the things Americans want."

5. That was one motivation for supporting Dennis. He's ALWAYS had those
positions. You just get this lie that he can't win. The movie addressed that part for me: fear. Dennis CAN win if people in Iowa and NH and elsewhere vote for him. It's the media that claims he's far left or can't win or whatever.

I'm going to have to change my tag and start contributing to Kucinich and Edwards.

I need something in my tag with my new attitude: Zeitgeist (Parts 2/3) only. I found Part I interesting, but that's the writers point of view. Did agree with parts 2/3.
