I want a candidate who ....
Edited on Sat Oct-18-03 07:46 PM by TruthIsAll
This is the Democratic Candidate I want

I want a candidate who fights for the truth and exposes every Bush lie and atrocity.
I want a candidate who believes in private enterprise but not to the point of corporate fascism.
I want a candidate who does not support pre-emptive war.
I want a candidate who supports our veterans.
I want a candidate who does not support Bush Cronyism.
I want a candidate who will fight for full, open, Dieboldless, paper ballot elections.
I want a candidate who will fight to end the electoral system, the cause of virtually all of our problems.
I want a candidate who will stand up to the media whores and shout them down if necessary.
I want a candidate who is concerned for the environment and animals near extinction.
I want a candidate who will call for conservation and eliminate the SUV tax deduction.
I want a candidate who will rescind the Bush tax cuts for the rich.
I want a candidate who will meet with Kristin Breitwieser and push for a full, unimpeded 9/11 investigation.
I want a candidate who will get to the bottom of the anthrax attacks.
I want a candidate who does not support the pre-emptive Iraq war.
I want a candidate who will investigate the 2000/2002 election frauds.
I want a candidate who speaks truth to power, like Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd.
I want a candidate who shows some respect for the American people by telling them want they want to hear - the damn TRUTH. Even if it hurts.
I want a candidate whose first priority is to put people back to work.
I want a candidate who recognizes that there is a liberal, moderate and conservative side to all of us - and can appeal to all.
I want a candidate who is willing to hold a no-holds barred press conference to discuss all of the above.
I want a candidate who is not afraid to express the courage of his convictions.
I want a candidate who is not afraid to call the Bush cabal what they are: liars, hypocrites, thieves and fascist traitors.

Is that too much to ask for?

1. Even Kucinich - the closest to what you're asking for - wouldn't actually
call the cabal members "fascist traitors." At least not publicly.

But I certainly think he's the closest, on the remainder of your generally-reasonable points.

2. I want a candidate that will support the transferring of the power to
suspend habeas corpus to the Legislative Branch via Constitutional Amendment.

4. Congratulations! Dennis John Kucinich
has recently announced his official candidacy for the Presidency of the United States. He's exactly what you are looking for. Here is a link to his volunteer sign up page.

7. Almost all of those are true of Dean
and give him a little time on the rest. ;-)

So after Kucinich flames out (no offense, Kucinich supporters), Dean's your man.

8. Not at all.
You want Dennis John Kucinich.

He'll do it all but the name calling. Although he will call a lie a lie.
