Reply #155: Kerry was NOT the best candidate. [View All]

[The Minus World]

The best candidate is probably working somewhere far afield of the political track; shaking his or her head at the state of American politics, and bemoaning the fact that our presidential races have become nothing more than insubstantial processions - like torch-passings from one pro-free market, supercapitalist candidate to another; each man possessing superficially partisan features which can be used to distinguish himself from his opponent.

In a truly Democratic system, the race would not be restricted to a competition between two popular parties - both of which can attribute their "popularity" to PR campaigns and donations alone - with both candidates making a complete mockery of their respective group's core principles.

Don't get me wrong - the more I learned about Kerry and his hand in exposing BCCI, the more I liked him. Sadly, I believe that Moore is correct; however, his bluntness may be misconstrued by the right (and many on the left) as a sign of weakness and unsureness with his party's direction overall, which falls into the Democrats have obviously got it all wrong narrative you're seeing in the media today.
