A vote for Obama is a vote to begin the process of cleaning up the mess we have created with our apathy and our arrogance – and a vote against corporate apologists like Ed Schultz who make a living telling people only what they want to hear and not what they need to hear.

Tune him out. He's made more money than he needs, apparently, because Ed Schultz is no longer paying as close attention to the "pulse of the Heartland" as he used to. He seems incapable of realizing that the man wearing the hard hat at the construction site isn't the high-school dropout he used to be. Increasingly, that man or woman is a degreed professional whose job has been shipped overseas.

Award winning poet, writer and refugee from the educational testing industry. Richard agitates, supports and motivates activists of all kinds, the most well-known being Cindy Sheehan. Web developer and designer by day, writer by night, Richard has the disposition of an observer and essayist. Richard has fallen in love, one day at a time, with the writing of Raymond Carver, while sparring, verbally, with the flying monkey right since 1998. Richard built his first computer from scratch in 1977 and had his heart broken for the first time in 1980. It has been stomped on and dragged behind a Chevrolet for many miles since that time. Thanks in no small part to Republican partisan politics and internecine policies.

Who cares about Schultz?

Schultz is but a small irritable pebble in a large pond.

What we need to care more about are these last 8 years with religion, race, gender, homophobia and like issues being used by the numerous factions in our nation to divide. If they didn't lie, cover shortcomings, play the blame game, manipulate elections , propagandize, brainwash, control media, fill agencies, departments and military heads with their ilk to cover and distort the tragic destruction they have wantonly brought about for their financial gain, they couldn't hope to hold an elected seat in any position of any kind or hold any job that required honesty, clarity and accountablity.

When I cast my vote I want to know will that person work to hold those people accountable for their wrong doings, reopen a real investigation into 9/11 , end the Iraq occupation, bring our troops home immediately, restore the U.S. Bank note, end the Federal Reserve with it's detrimental manipulation of our economy for their gain, end privitization of our elections and election fraud that prevails.

Will they end funding for the CIA, audit the Pentagon, and clean it up, put an end to lobbying & all bribes by same, remove all corporate control from our government and tax them as they should be taxed, hold Blackwater, & subcontractors accountable, audit them, disband them and prosecute those that deserve it? Will they immediately reverse the unconstitutional powers this administration has bestowed on the office of President?

Will they work to end all the detrimental legislation such as PNAC, CAFTA, NAFTA, The Military Commission Act and all the rest that has damaged our Nation? Will that person use diplomacy instead of aggression with our global neighbors, restore the sovereignty of our Nation by ending the recent alliance with Canada & Mexico, clean house on FEMA and fire Chertoff, end the word "Homeland" when referring to OUR COUNTRY, and end all foreign ownership and control within our country?

Will that person hold Corporations accountable for hiring illegals rather than vilifying the illegals for being willing to work long hours for lousy wages? If they weren't getting hired they wouldn't be here.. Will they reinstate stiff tariffs and demand proven safety on all incoming everything? Will that person advocate for single payer not for profit healthcare for all?

Those are just some of the issues I want to know about before I cast my vote. So far I haven't heard any firm clear cut committment for doing any of those things...and that includes Obama. If he has, I've missed it. He seems as tied to corporate as Hillary and McCain.

I don't give a darn about gender, color, sexual orientation or religious beliefs. I care about character, honesty and a commitment to the people and this Nation for the good of both.

As for Ed Schults..he is a look at me opinionated, uninformed dufus who never got over being a Republican.
