So its down to Kerry and Edward's, both of whom voted yes on the patriot act. Both of whom voted to go to Iraq. This may not mean much since almost everyone wanted these things, it means that they will go with the grain when they feel pressured. I would have rather had Kucinich, Clark or Dean. Instead I am left having to choose between those two clowns. Kucinich is still in I know but there aren't enough states left for him to make up the ground. I might vote for him anyway in the primary but it won't be that way in November. This two party system is so fucked up.
Edwards came out at the bottom of my presidential survey thingy, three percent below Kerry but still sixty percent above Bush. I was hoping for more change. I was hoping for Gay marriages. I was hoping for universal healthcare. I was hoping for a repeal of the Patriot act. I was hoping for military spending cuts. It looks like I will get none of these. I will have to make due with lower taxes and abortion rights. Nothing new there, just towing the party line.
If I ahve to choose between Kerry and Edwards, I would go with Edwards. He is younger and a better speaker, also he can probably get the south to swing back to the democrats. Kerry however can challenge the Pres. on his military record, thats a big thing. Either way I think both of them can beat Bush. I wish one of them spoke spanish though. You would think they would learn it somewhere along the line. I worry about the way Hispanics will vote this year. We have a tendancy to think we are white upper class corporate CEO's, even as we wash their dishes and clean their houses. I've never understood that.
I'll vote for the next top model girl before I vote for Bush, and I'll vote for pretty boy before I vote for Herman Munster.
