3.25.07 Bill Bradley on Sunday's Meet The Press

Full Hour Video: Meet The Press: http://snipurl.com/17r37

Bill Bradley is a person of integrity, which apparently voters were not up for in 2000, look what we got. We need a Bill Bradley and not "statesmen" like Newt Gingrich or John McCain to lead or otherwise advise decision makers on how to lift this country out of the mud. No more liars, please.

Rare persons of integrity sound like this:

"FMR. SEN. BILL BRADLEY (D-NJ): Well, Tim, “The New American Story” says that we can solve our problems—whether it’s health care, education, there’s reforming democracy—if we put country ahead of party and we tell people the truth, and that a—if, if, if you have bold solutions, you can solve our problems. And a leader who’s bold enough to tell the people the truth will find an audience ready for bold solutions.

And at the core of it is something I call the ethic of connectedness. And I guess you can sense that when you see the picture of the earth from space.

Don't think for a minute we're not demonstrating to the world what spineless creatures America has spawned into its leadership positions. It's as ugly as it gets when life becomes an expendable commodity. One hundred thousand dead, (so far,) Iraqi men, women, children and babies: insurgents, right? I don't think so, Holocaust is a better word, or is it already taken? Abused have become abusers. So, when is enough, enough? How many more dead bodies for avarice and greed? How much more destruction before the planet abuses once and for all its abusers?

Bill Bradley is a man in sharp contrast to America's presiding political Kabuki theater. I hope we see more of him when we hit the remote, so we can view what real authenticity looks like. It might help.
