My chosen candidate is not set in stone; I will be voting Democratic in the General Election; the primary isn't until March, so it depends on who's still viable.
I read a great article in the San Diego Union/Tribune editorials section about how the Democrats have 3 great candidates and if they don't nominate 2 of the three they're fools... (Pres and VP).
I'm just sick of the 'my way or the highway', 'nobody but (fill in the blank)', 'That guy is a pretend liberal while my guy is the only real deal' rhetoric in the Primaries forum. It occurred to me that if all of the people on here aren't thinking with thier heads. So, I posted this mini-rant here in the 'amusement post' forum to vent and point out the absurdity. We are making enemies of each other when we should all be on the same side.
The 'anybody but Bush or (blank)' crowd disturbs me. I took one of those wonderful 'match your position to your candidate' polls a month or so ago; I was surprised at how high Lieberman (75%!) scored with me; even more surprised that Kicinich(sp) and Kerry BOTH scored 100% (I had thought that niether would match me that well), while Bush scored 11%... and that only because even a stopped clock is right twice a day. So, if even the Democrat I like least scored 7 times as high as Bush, it seems to me that must be true of all the people on this board; none should have Bush in higher than 20%; none should have the worst Democrat lower than 60%... so how can anyone say 'only <blank> is better than Bush'?
Gee, this rant is so long, maybe I should submit it to the front page... or add it to my next 'From the Deck' post...
