Reply #160: Top 5, Bottom 5 [View All]

1. Dennis Kucinich. The man. Straight up. Right about every issue that matters to me.
2. Howard Dean. Without his presence, Kerry would've run way more to the right.kissed * ass even more, and gotten his butt kicked in the election instead of barely losing.
3. Robert Byrd. Stood up for what was right in his inspirational Senate speeches time and time again, despite hailing from W. Virginia, not exactly a hotbed of liberalism.
4. Al Gore. Finally found his voice the last couple years. Said many things that needed to be said, told it like it is, showed he is a fiery inspirational speaker when he wants to be. I think a Gore/Kerry ticket would've cleaned shitbird's clock, myself... Still bummed he didn't man up and run again, but, w/o that, we'd likely have never seen him get out there and stand up for what he REALLY believes in.
5. Michael Moore - even if he's not really a Dem, he showed a lot of balls in making F9/11, I admire him for taking his life in his own hands.

Bottom 5
5. John Kerry. I am still pissed at him for giving up and conceding so easily, and for not making a HUGE stink about the Diebold/ES&S voting machine scandal when he had the chance: BEFORE the electio. And also for failing to defend himself well enough from */rove's attack dogs such that there were still people out in the US that thought that he secretly met with the vietcong in france during vietnam (among other lies that he didn't defend himself vigorously enough against). He had the exposure and the means to show the world what total LIARS bushco and their proxies were, he chose to lie down and take most of it.
4. John Edwards. I was stoked on him at first, he didn't seem to add a damn thing to the equation from what I could tell.
3. Nancy Pelosi. She isn't doing S*IT to fight Delay and the GOP from what I'm able to see from out here in the Bay Area of CA, where I should be finding out about anything good if she's doing it.
2. Max Cleland. Yeah, I know I'll get a bunch of crap for saying this. I believe he came to know that 9/11 was allowed to happen, he HAD to have become aware of it during the 'independent' commission's work. Instead of alerting the Nation of what he found out, he put the screws to bushco to get himself a sweet job and ducked out on his duty to the Nation and the 9/11 survivors. Bob Kerrey also failed us, but I never heard about him getting a sweet job or quitting the commission, so he escapes my wrath.
