    that does not equal
    vote for what MY heart says
    vote for who i say

    it means vote for who YOU want to vote for, who YOU believe in, not who others tell you

    and that was for iowa only, not in general

    Kucinich: Obama is my second choice (in Iowa)

    Kucinich said Tuesday that he would like his supporters to back Obama in places where they are not in large enough numbers to be viable. (Iowa Democratic Party rules require that a candidate receive support from 15 percent of caucus participants -- sometimes more -- to be deemed viable.)

    “I hope Iowans will caucus for me as their first choice," Kucinich said in a statement. "But in those caucus locations where my support doesn't reach the necessary threshold, I strongly encourage all of my supporters to make Barack Obama their second choice.
    fuck yeah man.; I am voting Nader, because he is the only candidate left that even comes close to my views. Corporate policy, environmental accountability, foreign policy...he is the only one that comes close. "Vote your heart" should be every candidates platform.

    Me too. The things people are asking me to overlook to support Obama would be asking me to go against so many of the problems I have with our gov't and just deal with them in exchange for some smooth talking band-aid solution when we really need a long overdue major surgery. How long do they think these band-aid Dems are going to hold up? When are we supposed to come out and support the real deal? When the media says everyone else is now ready for it? I won't bother holding my breath for that one.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

    if we are ever going to vote for a 3rd party candidate why not now? Is next election going to be better timing? I don' think so. It's always going to be crucial, every election is. Its time for options, for a third party. This fascism has to end.

    It has to start somewhere
    It has to start sometime
    What better place than here
    What better time than now
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    What he has seen is hard to believe
    And it does no good to just pray
    He asks of us to stand
    And we must end this war today
