2. Obama has been dissing Edwards for some time now...
I hope Edwards doesn't endorse him...And I hope Gore remains above the fray.

3. The Kennedy endorsements didn't do much, I just don't think they're
all that important.

4. I agree. Time to act if they really believe what they say.
John has consistently campaigned against everything Hillary stands for - the DLC bought and sold corporatist mentality. If he can't step up now, I don't think I'll ever think of him the same.

Same for Gore. If he can only step up when HIS name is on the ballot, I'm not sure I can continue to respect him as I have for so many years.

Hillary is a corporate asset of the globalists, a foot soldier for the military industrial complex, and a water carrier for the medical and drug industries. If I wanted that in a president, I can find plenty of them in the Republican party.

6. That's how I felt about Kerry
Kennedy I didn't care so much because he has an elder statesman position, Gore does too. But I felt like Kerry knows what we're up against with the Clintons. It matters to me that he stood up, especially since Obama lost NH. If he hadn't done that, we wouldn't be where we are today. I feel the same way about Edwards, Feingold, etc. Stand up and speak the truth. We don't have to say they're just like the Republicans to say they're wrong.

7. Yes, Feingold is another one.
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 05:28 AM by TexasObserver
Talk is cheap. Action matters. Anyone who has been involved in the party the past 7 years knows that no matter what many of her supporters think, Hillary is the establishment candidate. She will lead the country in the same disasterous path it has been led recently. More War Party nonsense, more loss of constitutional rights, more spying on citizens, more drug war, more government of and for the globalists.

Those in party who lack the commitment to stand up and speak up against Hillary can forget trying to sell me on their conscience down the road.

Gore was my first choice for 2008. Feingold was second. Edwards was third. If those guys cannot muster enough fortitude to stop the Hillary juggernaut, then they are admitting they're all talk. If they can't speak up now, I'll never listen to them again.
