I uploaded this torrent because none of the other debates have included discussion about poverty, economic disparity, Katrina, etc. and people deserve to know there's a clear contrast in our two-party system this time around.



So basically, I liked this debate, or forum, or whatever - and I wanted to share it with people.



Personally I think John Edwards is the best candidate, because he has been the most bold in endorsing universal health care (keep in mind you have to buy health care in this country, unless your employer decides they want to insure you), a living wage, ending the war in Iraq, and just a better advocate for progressive values in general. However, based on what I know of their policy positions, most of these candidates would make a fine president. (Though I am now not certain about Mike Gravel -- he can't seem to stop talking about Iraq...it is one of the most important issues but certainly not the *only* one. And abolish the income tax for a flat tax? I think he's lost it.



Anyways, enjoy.
