I like John Edwards. I voted for him in South Carolina and during a rally in Greenville I got to talk to him personally as well as ask him questions during a Press Avail. I don't mind that he endorsed Barack Obama, that's his business. I would rather he endorsed Mike Gravel, but after all, he's a Democrat and probably feels a sense of obligation. I will say this, if he doesn't run on the Vice Presidential spot, I believe he could probably be the finest Attorney General that this nation has ever seen. If ever we needed a fine Attorney General, we need one now.
Could you imagine what Edward's could do to turn back the draconian measures taken against the American people's civil liberties and reverse the harm this administration has done to our Constitution? Edwards is a smart attorney. More than that, I have been following him for eight years now and I believe that he truly cares what kind of world his kids are going to grow up in. I asked him in Greenville, SC on a cold rainy night back in February if he was going to bring back the civil liberties that Bushco had taken away. I asked him if he was going to talk about them. He told me that he always talks about them. That night I heard him talk about them.
I'm for Mike Gravel. If he doesn't capture the Libertarian spot, which knowing the Libertarian party and the complete lack of center it has, is anyone's guess, I guess I'll throw my choice over to Obama, if Edwards joins hid administration as either Vice President, or preferably Attorney General. We must do something to turn this tide towards fascism.
Meanwhile Bush is raising hell in Israel. He told the crowd in the Knesset that they might only have six million people, but they have another 304 million supporters in the US. He might be surprised at the real number. I have no animosity towards Israel, but the government they have in power needs to go. Israel must sooner or later realize that they must live in peace with their neighbors. Karma is a funny thing, one day you are top dog, and the next day...well you get it. Let's hope that the majority of sane Israeli's get back control of their government. At the same time, let's hope that we do too.
