With the American economy in meltdown,coupled with unchecked military spending,and a terrible erosion of the freedoms and reputations of the American people,we need a Franklin D. Rosefelt,we need someone with new ideas,compassion,common sense,and a willingness to be completely honest with the American people.Its hard to fathom the desires of voters when we seem to prefer the lesser of two evils to the only candidate who has exhibited any of the characteristics mentioned above,that candidate was blackballed from this debate,I really missed Congressman Dennis Kucinich.....

How depressing. If Hillary gets in, we’ll have roughly a quarter-century of the same two families running the White House. How depressing.

Edwards never had a chance with big money and big media united against him, damn what the people think. If it's between Clinton and Romney, I think I'd rather stay at home and drink than make that ridiculous choice.
