After getting trounced in the Iowa caucuses yesterday, Democratic Sens. Chris Dodd (Conn.) and Joe Biden (Del.) dropped out of the presidential race. Dodd was the only candidate who supported a corporate carbon tax as a means to fight climate change; both Dodd and Biden supported a cap-and-trade system to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. If you're feeling wistful about what might have been, read Grist's environment-focused interviews with Dodd and Biden.

Dennis Kucinich is the only candidate that would bring real change.
A vote for Obama or any other candidate will bring more nuclear power plants into each of our states. A vote for Obama and other candidates will keep us in Iraq and Afghanistan at least until 2013. You call that bullshit CHANGE? That is more of the same. There is a reason the corporate media was hyping Obama and Hillary before Hillary even announced that she was running, because they have sold out to the New World Order, and the owners of the FEDERAL RESERVE approve of Obama and Clinton.
Watch the movie "POISON DUST".
"Progressive" people should be outraged that the corporate media is rigging an election right before our eyes. The "Progressives" are not even speaking up about it.
I guess the "Progressives" are mind-washed too.
Go watch some more TV and keep buying whatever they are selling you. That's just what the New World Order masters want for us slaves, to be mind-washed and unable to speak out against the oppression that is forced upon us.
