On the eve of the Iowa primary I want to say one thing about the candidates: |
|
They're ALL democrats. And they're all flawed, to be sure, but none of them deserves to be labeled as repuke or repuke light or bush lite. They are all democrats. They've all cast some bad votes, but all of them have democratic records that are nothing near any repuke records- unless you count Linc Chafee and Jim Jeffords, and they both bailed on the repukes.
Hillary Clinton is not wholly owned by corporate interests, and her voting record doesn't reflect that claim. She doesn't love war. Obama doesn't parrot right wing talking points, no matter what Markos says. John Edwards has been speaking to issues about poverty and working Americans consistently for years. Joe Biden has served honorably as a democratic Senator for decades, as has Dodd. Richardson and Kucinich are great representatives of the dem party.
They are all democrats. Good luck to them in tomorrow's caucuses.

5. There is no comparison. |
|
Never has a roster of candidates so clearly illustrated the ugliness of the repuke party.

8. Yes you are right but, |
|
sometimes the people you are most disappointed in are those from whom you expected the most.

10. On the whole, your correct. However, some are more progressive than others |
|
I'm for Biden, but who ever gets the nomination gets my vote in the GE.
