None of our 2008 Dems comes close to being comparable to JFK, although 1 is more so than the rest |

There was only one candidate who has a fraction of the conviction, courage, integrity, & guts that John F Kennedy had. Note that I said a fraction...and it is not Hillary, Edwards, or Obama. Not even close.
It would be Dennis Kucinich, and yes, I realize he is no longer a candidate.
The other three put together can't even summon enough guts to SAY the word "impeachment", let alone support the idea of it.
While they were all playing it safe politically, Bush got away with murder. Instead of getting impeached, he got standing ovations. That is just tragic.

was a military hawk. The US budget at the time was 2/3 Defense and 1/3 Social. It's reversed now. RFK was on the House Un american Activities Committee. RFK authorized wiretaps on MLK. I have a serious problem with this.

....as it was...."Bush got away with murder. Instead of getting impeached, he got standing ovations."....and will continue to be....
....no matter who is elected from either corporate party, January 2009 we'll still be a corporate state....and we'll remain a corporate until a new non-corporate political party is formed to represent the people....
....all this talk about 'the sky is falling' if this or that corporate stooge get elected, is just handicapping hyperbole....
