Edited on Thu Jul-17-03 06:56 AM by Friar
They only criticism they're gonna maintain are unjustified attacks on every Dem who dares run against their butt-buddy Bush.

6. The opposition keeps
ridiculing the democratic candidates.( Even John Stewart) But when you realize how laughable bush* is. He can't even string two sentence's together. There should'nt even be any contest in the next election.

8. By comparison to Bush
Grey Davis would be a gift from heaven.

If this keeps up, Bush's credibility will be stained beyond redemption. What will happen if they start to fall like dominoes? Will the Repugs run such a compromised contender? If they do, it is for the Dems to lose, Let's put our best foot foward and not run with those candidates tainted by Bush complicity.

An interesting fight would be Dean-McCain. Would the Repugs scramble to pitch McCain to salvage their party?

9. We do not need John McCain.
He's anti-abortion and a conservative Republican.

Edwards/Clark

21. Edwards/Clark
Would have Rove,* and Co. messing up their shorts and would throw their ENTIRE gameplan off kilter. They are scared s*itless of this combo.

12. yes, i think they just might go with mccain.
and he would be a great candidate for them, agaisnt any of the dems. which is why i disagree with petenyc. they are only afraid if bush is going to run and at this point, i don't think he is. and i think it's all part of the plan. bush was a throwaway president, crazy enough to go in and take the heat for the most monstrous actions, never believing he'd get tossed by his own.

i think this may be what happened in south carolina in the primary. the powers that be decided to keep mccain in the wings in case bush totally screwed up, which was almost guaranteed given his stupidity and the enormity of what they were intending to carry out. mccain couldn't have gotten away with what bush did BECAUSE mccain is too smart and people would have expected more of him.

and the dems will have nothing against him, because they are just like him (for the most part, not kucinich). mccain and the dems do not FUNDAMENTALLY disagree on foreign policy, neither will change it fundamentally. they ewill all just pretend it was bush's problem and now that bush is gone we'll be back to normal america again. they will not look in depth at the atrocities and corruption of america.

i can't wait.

10. Good point
All the talk about how spineless and milquetoast the Dems are are belied by the fear they inspire in Bush* and his minions.

14. I'm not so sure. I wish I was more confident in the dems.
I just don't get the impression that America is falling in love with any of our candidates.

15. Maybe
50,000 individual financial contirbutors to Howard Dean's campaign last quarter. It may not be love yet, but looks like a crush to me.

20. You would make my day if you could show me one thing.
I want to see one, just one, not two, only uno poll that shows a dem beating Bush.

I've gotten my hopes up so high before that Bush was going down . . . Enron, 9-11 stonewalling, the war, etc. . . . only to see the American public rally around him.

So, I will not raise my hopes again until someone shows me Bush losing to a democrat in a legitimate, scientific poll.
