I was thinking about this last night - about how Gore had to get OUT of politics to accomplish what so desperately NEEDED to be accomplished. I suspect John Edwards will have to do the same.

With the corporations controlling our gov't and our media - there's NO ROOM or desire for change there - and the only thing that will change THAT is if we elect the true visionaries like Gore or Edwards.

I'm rather disgusted myself with the spoilt 'identity' voters who never had to struggle like their parents did - and who care more about watching American Idol or whatever else is on their HDTV than about anyone or anything else. THEY didn't have to struggle - but there are a HISTORIC number of people who are STILL struggling like their parents did - and worse - trying to make their own lives and those of their children's better.

Edwards had it right. To those who are given a lot, a lot is expected. But those narcissistic identity voters were given a lot, and intend to return nothing. Maybe they think it was owed them.

They turn a blind eye - and instead choose to ridicule a man who wants to make real progress on issues they won't even acknowledge or don't care about because it doesn't affect THEM and never did.

Those pretentious narcissists are driving the Democratic Party even further away from what it was meant to be. ONE man wanted to restore it in this election - John Edwards. But the corporat-controlled government (Chamber of commerce et al), the corporat-controlled media, and the spoiled identity voters would have none of that.

Like you, when I say the same thing myself a few years from now "I told you so" - it will taste like ashes. And in response, I'll likely get a smug shoulder shrug and a lot of resentment. And next election, they'll screw it up again.

Pfffffft!
