When adherence to a political position replaces loyalty to your country and party dogma replaces the Constitution, it is time for a change.
I’m not talking about changes to a party structure or amendments to a political system but substantial change to a system of government that no longer serves the people. One only has to look at the gridlock in Congress, the absence of truth and honor in the White House and the American public’s deteriorating belief in our elected leadership to know that what we have now ain’t working.
But change – real change – won’t come at the ballot box. We can’t change a thing when our choices are George W. Bush or John F. Kerry. We also can’t change it by throwing our votes away on Ralph Nader or any other fringe candidate.
Instead, we have to rethink what we – as Americans – must do to save our country.
It took a revolution to create a place called America.
It may take another one to restore it.

That's not a rant, it's not even a good tantrum: it's a poorly scripted hissy fit. Fuck everybody, he says, Nader, Bush, Kerry, Dean, and everyone who even looks like then, fuck the process (ie, the horse they rode in on: go out and find yourself. Start a revolution. Ummm, no, I can't really say where or around whom or for what, but, it seems like a good idea.
Next issue: why the American form of government is inherently flawed: this three branch stuff is a lot of crap. Start another revolution.
