agreed! i myself am voting republican in 2004. But i agree that the democratic party should go with a better nominee than dean. That guy is a complete lunatic. His platform is strictly, " I hate bush, so nominate me". and his true pearl of wisdom is, "my first day in office, my first action will to get all of our troops out of iraq." wow, brilliant plan, lets conduct a war in a foreign country and then just get the hell out when were done, so whatever super powerful warlord can roll in and further devestate the country, real good plan dean. What next, import osama to run the department of defense. cmon people, go gephardt!
nuff said.

"I support Richard Gephardt and I really feel you should too. If we go with Dean I really hope I'm wrong but I have been right everytime with these predications I've watched closely how 'they' play it."
Love the 'i have been right everytime' line...
Move over Chris Matthews..here comes izaway!

I see Gephardt as more of a strawman. Perception goes along way, and Gephardt is already percieved as an over-the-hill loser. Enough of these stary-eyed mommas boys. The Dems need some grit.

You shouldn't such big statements in the PBS. Leave it to the PV-AN.
With that said, I agree with you partially. Dean is a long shot, but Kerry or Clark seem more 'presidential'. Although Richard Gephardt should be the one.

couldnt agree with you more mimio. The dems got zero grit as they are right now. They walk around on egg shells too much like a whipped puppy. my advice to them is to get a set of nuts and act accordingly.

Also, wasn't it Gephardt who grandstanded many-a-debate by calling Bush a "miserable failure" over and over again?

yeah, i think that is every democratic running persons platform. how bout they address some real issues instead of just slamming bush all the time. Im not gonna vote for someone who slams bush the best, im gonna vote for a real candidate.

virtu, Dean has never said the things you listed about Iraq.
He is against the war, but that doesn't mean he'd use his first day in office to pull all our troops out.
He'd have to deal with the situation and explore the options with the goal of doing things differently than Bush has.Unfortunatly, a new president is often left stuck cleaning up the mess of the prior president-not just blinking their eyes and making the problem disappear.

dean all the way.

I was going to mention something like this, but decided against it. The Dem party is fucking itself up BIGTIME. Bush will again at this rate.

Bush gets elected again
Just watch

exactly, because of the fact that the Dems themselves cannot agree, watch and see.

I honestly think that Dean has a shot at it.
The grassroots effort has proven to be very inspiring to many young people gaining interest in Dean.
Political dissatisfaction is at it's highest point in our lifetime-I think we're going to see a tremendous voter turnout. All the current problems within our country and out of our country point to one source:
the REPUBLICAN slumber party that is Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Karl Rove, Collin Powell and a host of other Reaganites more interested in their own bank accounts and their rich friend's bank accounts than the common man and woman in the US.please, please try and convince me that Bush gives a sh*t about the average American's life any more than to prevent terrorism against them.
try.

I think Dean can beat Bush. If he stays focused on economic reform and Bush's over-the-top spending. If Russ Feingold runs with him, he'll be a good contendor. He works hard campaigning too, that goes along way at the polls obviously.

But at the same time I agree with the past few of you-Democrats have so many problems, so much infighting.
Bush needs to go, that's agreed I hope, but with the Dems in such disaray and no ability to rally behind one of their own, they'll collapse.

damn, that's funny, dick gephardt is the ghost of the Democratic Party Past and John Kerry is a reanimated mount rushmore droid......

John Kerry is a mean grumpy man whose whole ideology rests on the fact that he is a war vet and Bush isn't.
