Okay, so maybe the world isn't perfect and can't be perfect but goddamn it, even with that attitude I can't help feeling something has gone terribly wrong. Maybe John Kerry wasn't the most charismatic candidate in the world, and maybe John Edwards had more charisma than experience. But--and this is a big but-- I voted for them because I believed, and still do, that they actually wanted to help people. I do not feel this way about the greedy, selfish, self-righteous little weasel currently spouting flimsy promises from his seat in the White House he stole eight years ago. This country needs desperately to change if it's going to hold its ideals up to the world without being laughed at, and at least John-squared would've tried to enact some of the important legislation Bush seems determined to thwart.
And John Edwards spoke very inspirationally about poverty today. I have a picture of the two of us on my phone.
