Chris, I don't place any faith in the Dem's. I'm certain that the two majority parties share pretty much the same corporate agenda. I would put more faith in the individual. From what I had learned of Kucinich, he had leadership qualities. And though Gore was at Clinton's side, I know that his intelligence and political experience (the better parts of it) put Bush to shame. Let's face it, most anyone would have done a better job than Bush.
I agree that someone who reaps less than 1% of the nation's vote would, if ever allowed, be the appropriate leader. But the problem lies in the much mistaken egos of the American public. I'm not sure that as a majority of influence they can get out of the loop when it comes to believing that aggression and a warring mind in a president will provide the answer to problems created by the very same same type of mindset. They have to first wrap their minds around the fact that corporatization of their country is the biggest problem, and then must begin to fathom that both locally and abroad their nation's leaders put the interests of the corporations first. It will be an enormous, if not impossible enough task to convince Americans that they can do without their status toys. Getting them to understand that their own nation's desires (as opposed to actual needs) affect not only themselves but the rest of the world adversely, will take a leader.
