Old Jun 4th, 2003, 04:40 PM        Which Democrat do you favor?
This obviously doesn't apply to Conservatives or non-Democrats I guess, but on a whole, at this early stage in the game, who does the I-Mockery board like...?

Explain your choice, if you'd like.

I voted for Dean. Believe it or not, I tend to be more of a libertarian-like Green, and all in all, the platform of a Howard Dean actually has more appeal to me than a presumably more "Leftist" candidate like Kucinich, or (I guess), Al Sharpton.

Dean supports capital punishment, which I oppose very much. But all-in-all, he has a fairly strong platform.

I have some tough decisions to make between now and 2004. :/

I pick Al.

He's the most honest one of the bunch and I think he says what he really thinks.

My second choice would be Dean.

I'm going with Sen. McCain. Ok, just kidding.

I don't hate John Kerry. He will have a touch and dirty campaign ahead though which will be difficult to fight.

Is it just me or does it seem like a bit of a weak bunch? I dunno, maybe I'm just being a pessimist.

Well, being a Green, cynical Liberal, I tend to agree with you, GA.

However, I saw Dean speak, I've looked over his platform a bit, and he isn't weak. He articulates his points well, and furthermore, he is firm and has confidence when he speaks.

Edwards and Lieberman are out immediately in my book. Kucinich isn't viable, and Sharpton is a shady character. Kerry strikes bad chords with me, isn't good enough to be a real oppositional candidate to Bush.

Thus, I've come to Dean. I dunno, I may still support the Green Party, depending on who they run (which has been a stagnent process).

Kev,
Sorry for being a bit vague there. I didn't so much mean "weak" in terms of their positions, but rather weak, at least at this point, in terms of public support. Especially the kind of backing and support it will require to beat Dubya at this point.

I voted for Dean.

I was okay with Kerry until he decided to vote for going into Iraq, and then deciding to speak out against it.

I'm a Green, but if Dean becomes a front-runner, I'd consider voting for him.

Sharpton may be more electable than Kucinich, but Ronnie is on to something. The Democratic hierarchy doesn't want Sharpton there, for good reasons, too.

Good to see you back Ranxer.

Yeah can you blame them for not being to thrilled about the idea of Big Al leading the ticket?

Also, is it just me or does the campaign season seem to be starting particularly early this year?

If this is what the democrats are going to throw up against bush, you might as well pack up and go for 08. If I were a Democrat, the only guy I would even consider voting for was Joe. The rest are deplorable. God forbid we ever get a Green party member type as a president. I'd rather everyone in the U.S. not be poor and miserable.

If this is all you can 'throw up' 'against' all the threads on this board, and judging by your general output in the last few days, I think I can conclude that the great hydrogen dirigible that is you has run out of hot, light gas.

Are you all out of ideas, or has the recent lack of violent imagery on fox news caused your writing boner to loose rigidity? I'd hate to think you were turning into a 'pussy' or a 'woman'. Aside from a few lackluster comments about ejaculating on peoples faces, you've hardly shown any spark lately at all.

Wouldn't you be tired? Wouldn't you be sad?

Wouldn't you just feel depressed , to have everyhting you believe in, everything you hold dear to your heart, violently smashed and proved false by all to bear witness?

Wouldn't you lose all hope after you are forced into a submission of "not caring". How terrible it would be to betray ones' inner feelings, simply to stop the hateful truth crashing on ones' poorly though out defenses.

Personaly, I would kill myself. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, nowhatimean?)

You seriously don't know what he's talking about?

If by bored you mean "Out of Steam", so be it. There's bound to be another repellent, lying patsy coming through the door any moment. True, they may not paint themselves into the corners of Submarines as beautifully as you do, but once a bar is set, you often need to be patient.



Next?

i've been offline for a while.. i havnt heard much about why the dems are repelled by sharpton, i liked everything i heard him say so he's got my support... and not really cause he's 'electable' like i said before.. thats a spooky slip on my part, 'electable' is a slippery slope that i'd like to stay off of but oh well.

kucinich has the strongest ideas but he switches into a yelling wrestlemania tone that makes me think more about medications than his message.

from what i've read or heard(rumored or otherwise) so far the other candidates are sold out to big money similar to gore or worse. if the dems do go with dean, ill try to investigate and verify before i go smearing him. if they end up with lieberman i'm not investigating i'm just going to smear

Yeah, I for one am glad that everyone is really wealthy, and that everyone in the U.S. is happy with the economic situation of the country.

Of course you, as a stupid conservative, would vote for Lieberman. I wonder what he'd think of your fetish for naked women and pornography, eh? For someone who touts libertarianism, Lieberman seems like a pretty naive selection.

The Democrats are in a sorry state, but no sorrier than the fool in the White House.

Don't even try to pretend like you know what you're talking about here, Vince. You are a stupid person, and to make matters worse, you don't realize it.

Kevin, let's go over something real quick: Calling someone "stupid" doesn't mean they are stupid. If I called a dog a cat, it doesn't make a cat.


Now, I'd vote for Joe because he is the least deplorable. The person I would want to see be the canidate would be Al Sharpton. He has done more to expose democrats for being lying, elitist, slave owner type pricks then Rush Limbaugh ever dreamed over.

I hope to God that Al gets it. Then you liberals would be exposed for who you really are. You talk and whine and cry and bitch about civil rights and blacks (ESPECIALLY during election time) all the time, and now you would have a chance to vote a black man into the presidency. A black guy that is liked (unfortuantly) in many circles. But no, you all would make so many excuses not to vote for him it wouldn't be funny. You wan't to know who the first black president is going to be? The first woman president is going to be? Quote me on this: If Condi Rice wants to run in '08, she would win. If the Hildabeast ran in '08 against her, Condi would make Clinton her bitch.

And kevin, I don't believe I gave you permission to take your lips off of my cock head. So get back down there and do something you are good at for a change.

And saying you're smart doesn't make you smart. Your unsubstantiated opinions and asinine commentary make you stupid.
