   i know you have problems with him, but i think Edwards is the person to vote for in this coming election. He’s the only one standing up for the “average citizen” who doesn’t haul down 6 figures, and trying to rein in corporate America (at least he’s the only one who spoke about it in the Iowa debates).
   Also please check out “The candidate taboos” (an article at counterpunch.org) about what all the candidates are NOT saying.

   I am certainly disturbed by Obama and Clinton’s dependence upon big defense contractors. Why do you think Edwards isn’t getting more support, Tom?

   I personally found Edwards’s stand on gay marriage to be a kind of wishy washy expression of a history of bigotry that’s hard to break. What did you think about that?

   i couldn’t care less about gender bending issues (i don’t like bigotry, i support their “rights”, but can’t do much about the abounding stupidity we face in the U.S.), and am much more interested in getting corporate America out of our government.

   Well, Tom, we CAN do something about their rights, and their “rights” are not in quotes – they’re guaranteed by the Constitution’s equal protection under the law clause. So, it’s not just some gender bending fringe issue. It’s about whether John Edwards will support the Constitution. He says he opposes equal marriage rights.
