Even though I am not a Democrat, I'm just curious how Dems will vote on this poll.

I vote chickens.

where the **** is Edwards? YOU LEAVE EDWARDS OUT?

Dennis Kucinich - Even though I am not American this guy is a true Liberal.

Damn it! I KNEW I was forgetting someone! (Slaps forehead) Ah, well...pick 'Other,' then.

*sigh*

you remember Braun...but forget the Veep nominee?

It was stupid, I admit.

damn right!

Dear lord I hope Hilary doesn't get any votes.

Agreed. I just put her in there 'cause some Dems I know thought she'd make a good President. But if she became President, what would that make Bill? First Lady? Lol...

I was a Dean man from the beginning. He was the first candidate I ever gave any money to--the first ever--and I wanted him to win so badly I could taste it. I voted for him here in California, even though he'd largely pulled out of the race by then. I couldn't pass up the chance to actually vote for someone instead of against someone else. And I'd vote for him again without hesitation.

Whatever happened to Dean? Ever since he dropped out, it's as if he's never existed. Creepy, eh?

You must not be paying attention. He's started his own PAC, named Democracy for America. It supports local and state-wide candidates all over the US who are supporting progressive values and themes. He's been actively campaigning for Kerry and shows up on tv all the time. Hell, he drew some fire today for calling out the Bush administration's latest terror alert as being at least partially politically motivated. He noted how it seems any time the Democratic nominee gets some traction, Tom Ridge has some special announcement to make. Dean's very active right now, and he'll stay active for a while, I imagine. I have hopes that Kerry will name him chairman of the FCC once he wins the Presidency. Probably won't happen, but I'd love to see it.

Aside from speaking at the DNC...see above post.

Edwards... definitely Edwards... I picked "other" :p

I'm a Republican but voted 'cause I'm a dip shit. I voted for Dennis Kucinich thinking that's who most Democrats who'd want as a dork. Guess What? I was right? *lol*

I hate Kucinich and I'm a registerted Democrat. :o generalizations :p

I voted Wesley Clark.

1) He's from Arkansas and so am I and so was Bill.

2) He's former Supreme Commander of NATO...which means he'd know how to handle...let's see, Iraq? The war on terror? He'd also start off with great ties to the NATO countries. They'd already know him and he'd already know them.

I worked the Kucinich campaighn in the North Texas area so I'm going to have to go with him.

These are the top 6 reasons I supported him:

1) Opposed the Patriot Act(s) and the Liberty Act.
2) Opposed the creation of the Homeland Security department.
3) Opposed the occupation and war in Iraq.
4) Opposed NAFTA and the WTO.
5) Supported a protective-tax to keep American jobs in America.
6) Favored the full legalization of marijuana and an end to the war on drugs.

Yes, Wesley Clark certainly handled the situation in the Balkens. His NATO bombing campaign killed more civilians in a few months than Milosovich's military could during the whole civil war.

Not only that, but he almost started World War Three when he ordered a British General to attack the Russian military!

The guy is a psychopath, but what else would you expect from the man who allowed the ATF to train at Ft. Hood Texas for the BranchDavidian Church raid?

Number 5 is enough reason not to vote for Kucinich. Protectionism is always an economic disaster. I give him full marks for numbers 1, 3, and 6, and am ambivalent on 2 and 4, but 5 is a deal-breaker.

and yet you support Kerry who (claims he) holds the same postion...

Dennis Kucinich - Even though I am not American this guy is a true Liberal.

Well, there were a few conservative things about him. He wanted to get us (the US) out of NAFTA and the WTO.

1-4 are definitely very conservative positions.

For a time at war, I have to say, I pick former general Wesley Clark.

Wow--there's hardly a greater misstatement of Kerry's positions on trade than that. Congrats, Texastambul--you just outdid the Republican party in terms of bullshit rhetoric.

Getting the US out of those organizations would be quite a liberal thing to do.

Wow--there's hardly a greater misstatement of Kerry's positions on trade than that.

Uh, okay... So what did he mean by calling for an end to what he termed "Benedict Arnold corporations" that ship their work overseas? I'm really confused here... When he says things like, "I think we need to re-examine NAFTA," what the hell is he saying? That doesn't give me any inkling as to his position.

Congrats, Texastambul--you just outdid the Republican party in terms of bullshit rhetoric.


Hey, I'm not a partisan ditto head -- I'm seriously trying to figure this Kerry guy out and his vague ambiguity isn't helping! Spare me your diatribe and just let me know what Kerry's position is on trade.

liberal-conservative .. at some point those terms lose all meaning...

Tex, Kerry was referring to companies that ship profits offshore to shell corporations and avoid paying taxes, and then increase their profits by outsourcing jobs overseas, because they're taking advantage of some tax loopholes that allow them to do so. Kerry's not going to try to build some protectionist wall--he just wants to close those loopholes so those companies that make money off US conumers pay taxes in the US, and he'll offer incentives in the form of tax breaks to encourage them to create jobs in the US.

I agree with Texastanbul that Kerry has protectionnism views. However, since Bush does also, it's a moot point and my first complaint once the elections are over.
