OK DLC whores your base will not vote for Hillary, Biden, Richardson, or
Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 09:18 PM by Melodybe
Evan Bayh!

Not gonna happen to many dems sucked it up last year and voted for Kerry cause he was not Bush. If you think that they are going to do it again for one of those assholes your wrong.

I worked my ass off last year for a candidate that I only mildly supported, this time it is not even worth the trouble.

END OF STORY NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

Give me Wes Clark or Dean or Conyers or Fiengold or Boxer or Kennedy or any of them but jerks that do nothing but suck up to Bush and big corporations are not worth our labor!

2. Odd, you named the candidates that
I have placed in my "no way" file. Could you add Harold Ford?

7. The DLC is Bill and Hill's faction of the democratic party
they love big business and think thatthe democratic party should forget all of our morals and move to the right.

4. Not to be a PIA, but what if the nominee is one of those people?
Then what?

And, believe me, I really hope it isn't.

9. JJ I hope you are right...
I think Clark would be the right person...

He needs to get out now while HC is busy running for reelection. the best thing that could happen is HC winning the senate seat by a small margin to prove she isn't that potent in her "home" state. But that ain't gonna happen.....

Personally, if this was six years ago, most of those now way candidates would hae been acceptable....

But as H I was told as he was grabbin for them diapers in the streets.... Things have Changeeeeeddddddddddd

15. I swear to the sky wizard, as long as it isn't a flippin' senator, I don't
Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 09:28 PM by JimmyJazz
care who it is. The people in this country are collectively too stooopid to understand how a Senate vote works which is why they were so quick to fall for the "flip-flop" propaganda. AND, who was the last Senator elected as President? And the one before that? No seriously? What does that track record tell you? If you wanna be president, be a governor or a military hero or something other than a fuggin' senator?

Oooh! I almost forgot: end of rant :D

8. Who's the base?
I would like to see Feingold in 2008, but if Hillary, Biden, Richardson, or Bayh get the nomination, they have my 100% support.

18. McCain is cool - all the freepers secretly think he's
batshit mad, so to have him on the ticket would really piss them off. :D

(tongue in cheek, sorta)

12. Im for some alternatives
Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 09:25 PM by Lannes
But electable ones.I like your list but Wes Clark might be the only one that would attract red staters.If he isnt available then I hope there are some other names being floated.I dont believe the others are electable.That isnt to say they arent worthy of the office.

edit for spelling

14. why the rant
voters chose the nominee in caucuses and primaries. If you want a different candidate as the nominee, support such a candidate.

20. The DLC Is Pure Bullshit! They Are The Worst Trhing To Happen To This
party in decades. I will not vote for anyone that they push, or anyone that voted for the Iraq war.

People that buy into the DLC crap are deluding themselves. We will never win again running repug lite!

I want the opposition party wing of the democrats to stand up and take their place as leaders. Sadly, that is not happening either.

24. Clark Conyers would be awesome
That will be awesome. I have nothing against senator's clinton but she can't crack the south, and joe biden has made one too many mistakes when it comes to votes.

27. I agree
No way, no how am I ever voting for a corporatist. If someone runs against Hillary in the senate primary they will get my vote. I cant stand her or the DLC. There is no point in voting if I only get to choose between apples and apples.

My crystal ball says Hillary gets to run because the same idiots who thought running a bland NE liberal like Kerry would be a success are already cheer leading for her. The DLC's main goal is to split us up and if they cant do it outright then they know that putting up a turd to run is the next best thing. The DLC, like any business, wants to make their customers happy; ie, rich corporate scum.

33. Locking.
"DLC whores" and "one of those assholes" are broad brush slams at Democrats. Disagreement in the party is one thing.
This type of characterization is another.
