What Do Kucinich And Thompson Have In Common?

At a recent Labor forum, Dennis got cheers, applause for his stances on the labor movement and unions. He spoke to the workers and they responded. He was by far the best candidate on the stage as for as labor was concerned. More on this in a moment.

Huckabee is a Baptist preacher and his views on abortions and gays and values are the same as the religious right. He is everything the rank and file are looking for in a candidate.

Where am I going with this. Dennis position, no matter how popular with labor got him no endorsements, instead the union's leadership went to Hillary, Edwards and Dodd, so far. Huckabee, his stands on the issues are in line with the religious right but instead they want to go with Rudy and Thompson so far.

What does this mean? It means these people are endorseing those they think can win the election not the ones that hold similar views. and that is the problem with this whole system. It is about winning not what is right.

Change is desperately needed, but the American people will allow this system to go on and on until there is no way out. Sad that the best person for the job is seldom in the running.
