Why I am supporting John Edwards over Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton

After the trashing of the Constitution, the "Corporatization of America" is THE most important issue facing us, today.

As much as I like Hillary, she it too closely aligned WITH the Corporatocracy to institute the changes necessary to take America back from the Corporations, and return it to "WE THE PEOPLE."

And, as much as I like Barack, now is NOT the time to try to build a "Purple America" were Democrats and Republicans work together to find "common ground" on issues.

Today's Republican Party is SO FAR to the radical right wing (having been thoroughly taken over by the "neo-cons and the movement conservatives"), that there is NO WAYto find "common ground" with it without "selling out" MAINSTREAM Democratic priniciples. (The Democratically-controlled Congress, and its continued, craven, capitulations to the Bush Administration, are classic cases in point).

What America NEEDS now, is an AGGRESSIVE PROGRESSIVE, like John Edwards, to fight back against the neo-fascists and the Corporatists. It will only be AFTER fundamental balance has been restored to the body politic -in say, 8 years - that America will be ready for the type of bipartisan, coalition building, government that Barack Obama would epitomize.

Edwards 2008!!!
