I am scared of a Dean nomination

[kertnom]

He is anti-war and far left which will result in us loosing all 50 states because he is angry and cannot connect with the mainstream American. We must get someone like Lieberman who has general election expierence and was consistently for the war. If you want to lose and see Bush get 4 more years vote for Dean, Kerry, Kucinich, Braun, Sharpton if you want to have a competitive general election elect Lieberman, Gephardt, Edwards, Clark.

1. I heard he listens to heavy metal music, too

4. You think that's bad?

Wait until they find out he cut off his cat's leg because he doesn't like even numbers. And eats his waffles without syrup, too.

[KoKo]

5. Oh My....didn't we see this post before? "Scared of Dean Nomination?"

I don't see Dean as angry..and if there is some pique over the War....well then, I'm in his boat!

You think Lieberman has general election experience and the others....so their views are all "known," then LOL's.....think again! You might need to do some research???

7. omfg...

...you've gotta be joking. Nope, you aren't joking. Well, pardon me while I laugh at your analysis.

[kertnom]

9. Laugh all you want

Will you be laughing when Dean loses 48 states to Bush?

[w13rd0]

13. Give me a reason to think you'll be around...

...long enough not to ignore you.

Too late...

[hedda_foil]

10. Now you've done it! You made me laugh with a mouthful of coffee!

I'll be up cleaning my keyboard all night now.

[kertnom]

12. Laugh all you want

Will you be laughing when Dean loses 48 states to Bush?

[RogueTrooper]

21. So how will Bush win those states

and what two states will he not win?

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. Uh, LBJ ran AGAINST Goldwater.

Lyndon's running mate was Hubert Humphrey.

[kertnom]

16. I know

Kucinich vs Bush would be a LBJ vs Goldwater landslide.
Dean vs Bush would be a LBJ vs Goldwater landslide.
Braun vs Bush would be a LBJ vs Goldwater landslide.
Sharpton vs Bush would be a LBJ vs Goldwater landslide.

8. Nice try

But he has played the patriotism card to the hilt and he is also a whiney-baby.

[xchrom]

14. lieberman?!

i guess that answers any questions i might have had about your thinking.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. If dean is far left

you have been listening to Rove a tad too much

Get off the propaganda machine.

[kertnom]

17. Rasing taxes, signing civil unions,

expensive health care plan, hell he is a socialist.

[w13rd0]

20. That's funny...

...especially considering you say that Gephardt is one of the ones that wouldn't be an "LBJ/Goldman landslide" <sic>. But Geph's health care plan is as expensive or more so, and Geph has the same view on the Bush tax cuts. Gee, don't get dizzy from your hyperbolic spinning.

[xchrom]

40. you need a dictionary

and a history lesson if you think dean is a socialist.

55. Lieberman Proposes Raising Taxes on Rich

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a break from the Democratic field, presidential candidate Joe Lieberman is promising to ensure that upper-income Americans pay more in taxes than they did before President Bush's record-breaking tax cuts.

Lieberman's proposal, due to be unveiled as part of a weeklong critique of Bush's policies, would at the same time reduce taxes for middle-class Americans, according to a senior campaign official.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said income tax rates will be restructured to achieve Lieberman's goal of shifting the tax burden to upper-income Americans. The official provided no further details on how the changes would affect middle-class taxpayers.

Lieberman's rivals have proposals repealing Bush's tax cuts for wealthy Americans, with most setting the bar at people with annual incomes exceeding $200,000. Two candidates, Howard Dean and Dick Gephardt, want to repeal all of Bush's tax cuts, including those benefiting middle-class Americans.

Note, I would wholehartedly support Sen. Lieberman's proposal. I'm not sure if it would be easy to campaign on though, I'd have to research that.

[nomaco-10]

18. Dean will not lose the election!!! People...

like you who go around thinking we should settle for bushlite will cost us the election. "Oh, what to do, what to do; vote for Lieberman, oh, wait... ureka, I'll vote Green". Oh ye of little faith, jump on the Dean bandwagon and hang on for dear life, you're instore for the ride of your life and we're not stopping til we get all the way to DC.

[Rowdyboy]

19. Thanks for your analysis...

Comedy Central doesn't start for another 25 minutes and I needed a laugh.

[Faygo Kid]

22. He is NOT far left

He is in the mainstream. Quit listening to Limbaugh, Hannity, et. al. - Damn the GOP bastards who have moved this country so far to the right, that I have to see this crap on DR!

How could I ever vote for a man like that?! Say it ain't so!

Don't look now, kertnom, but I think mommy wants on the computer for a while.

[kertnom]

27. Irrelevant

You completely ignore the rest of my message. Plus please stop with the childish smart ass remarks.

[Elidor]

44. Your "message?"

You flatter yourself if you think your strung-together collection of knee-jerk wingnut code words is deserving of a thoughtful response. He's a socialist? Only a pro-war candidate will win? Is this the extent of your in-depth analysis? Why, you've obviously spent all of five minutes researching your opinions. When you come back with something worthy of my attention - but that's a pretty big 'if,' anyhow, innit?

Maybe if you scream "Socialist!" some more, you might scare up a few more undecideds for Holy Joe. Your puerile message - war good, socialism bad - is right out of Animal Farm. You're a bad parody of a great satire.

[no name no slogan]

51. Uhm, I think the site you're looking for

is located at www.FreeRepublic.com. ;)

No, seriously though: if you somehow think that the Dems need to keep waging tiresome campaigns of "we're like the Republicans, but not quite as much" that continue to lead to losses at the state AND federal level, than go right ahead and support a Repub-lite candidate. If you want to give the death blow to the remnants of the New Deal coalition that made the Dems a party of the people, than by all means do so.

Just don't think for a second that the liberals and progressives who are the backbone of this party are going to let you get away with it.

[carpetbagger]

28. No, but he wants people to think he is.

And that will cost him the general election, I fear.

I'd be thrilled to be proven wrong.

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. I am pissed as hell over the war!

In fact, I carry enlistment papers and offer them to war supporters. No takers, yet.

Only ones benefitting are Halliburton, Bechtel, et. alii, and those who own stock in those companies. All of *'s big campaign contributors. This was about profiteering.

53. Public opinion is turning against the war

and Valerie Plame hasn't even filed a lawsuit yet. So I disagree.

[Demobrat]

32. Gave me a great idea for a sign.

It's not the war. It's the profiteering.

[greatauntoftriplets]

34. Great idea! Happy to have helped!

as shown in the upper right corner of the post, secondarily, I am addressing the rest of the posters.

[LibertyorDeath]

33. Lieberman??? ease back on your dosage....Why not just elect * for

f-ck sakes That said if Lieb gets the nod everyone get behind this rethug in Dem clothes because it beats the alternative.

[kertnom]

35. He is our only hope

He is my first choice but he is our only hope, the others will lose us the election. Go Lieberman!

[annxburns]

36. Dean is my least favorite candidate

... but could we stop with this "he's unelectable" crap! Who the hell knows what is going to happen next year. Like I said, he is not my favorite, but it's pretty insulting to run around and say he's not electable against the morally bankrupt disaster we have right now in the White House. Personally I'd like to see a Clark/Edwards Kerry/Edwards, Edwards/Clark etc ticket, but I'm getting frustrated with the simple minded talking points around here ...

Clark: War-mongering PNAC closet repub
Kerry: War-supporting doormat
Dean: Can't win
Edwards: Too pretty

blah, blah, blah. They are all mentally and morally superior to the Shrub.

[confusius]

37. screw liberman

I will not vote for a republican-lite, and I think you are a lurking Repugnatant.

I want someone who fights back, not says yes sir pResident bush!

I think alot of people want that to. If gore had been more forcefull, and not so wimpy (lieberman) we would have had a clear majority in 2000, not just a murky one.

[mot78]

43. WELCOME TO DU

:bounce::bounce:
:toast:

[mot78]

38. Clark was opposed to the war too

Stop watching Faux and stop reading DLC newsletters. Lieberman, if nominated, will bring about the first collapse of a major party since the Whigs (and hint, it won't be the Repugs).

[Padraig18]

39. If Dean is far left...

... then I'm the Pope.

[Rowdyboy]

41. Padraig I ?

Were I a cardinal, you'd have my vote. The first Irish pope-and a liberal to boot!

[Padraig18]

45. Thanks!

If I were Pope, we'd be past the condom, priestly celibacy and equality for women within the Church as fast as the ink could dry on the paper. :hi:

You must want to lose to Bush*.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

52. He's also pro-war, far right and will result in us losing 50 states.

Forget Lieberman. Get Kucinich on the horn.

He is in the wrong party. We NEED socialized medicine, HEALTH SHOULD NOT BE FOR SALE!
