This entry is to endorse two candidates for the nomination of their parties for President of the U.S. I know Kristi agrees with me on this also. Some of the big newspapers endorse a candidate from two parties, mostly one democrat and one republican. I'm doing two parties, but the parties I'm doing are Green and Democrat.

I endorse Cynthia McKinney as the Green Party candidate for President. She has the courage to ask the hard questions that the mainstream, corporate military industrial complex doesn't want asked but need to be asked. (and answered.) She is totally fluent on the range of issues facing the presidency, she is an attractive candidate, and she has significant experience in government - enough to know how government works. If she became president, we would see things shaking in Washington D.C., and oh, how we need that.

I also endorse Barak Obama for the Democratic Party nomination for President. He will bring the biggest change by far between he and Hillary. Yeah, Hillary is smart and well connected, but she's also a Clinton, and I fall into the camp that this is not the right time for Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton. Enough simply is enough for me.

But it's more than that also. The Clintons strike me as being too corporate - too mainstream. Bill got himself into trouble politically and socially because he didn't stand up well when he either got tempted or threatened. He was not strong on the environment,
that's for sure. He compromised with the corporations too easily. I think Hillary will do the same. Obama may too, but we can have the audacity to hope that he won't.

My endorsement doesn't mean a hill of beans. But I still wanted to go on the record. Good luck to Ms. McKinney and Mr. Obama. I sincerely hope that I have to chose to between the two of you in November. Our country will be on the way to a better place if that is the case.

I'm not going to bother even trying to endorse a republican. McCain is going to get the nomination. Kristi predicted that two years ago. For one thing, the contrast between McCain as the old and Obama, should he get the nomination, as the new, is going to be huge. The only thing McCain has going for him is the so-called "surge" in Iraq. Not a lot to work with there. If you want more war, then endorse McCain. I'm hoping for something else, myself.
