1. Sigh.
The major parties are BOTH still all about the money, corporate interests, and war. I cannot cheer for a party. I cheer for ideals, principles and doing what is right.

I am a Democrat because the Dem party is *closer* to being right much more often than the GOP is.

But if a candidate is wrong on a serious issue, I really don't care if they are a Dem or not. They're still wrong, and I still won't support them.

Vilifying EVERY Republican (just for the sin of being Republican) is as silly as praising EVERY Dem (just for the rightness of being a Dem).

And this is a hell of a lot of trouble to go through to try to coax people to say nice things about Hillary. If it requires THIS much work, maybe that's saying something.

2. No, I vilify every Republican because they suck, and I remember 2000.
I was much more of an idealist until the worst president in the history of the nation took office. This has nothing to do with Hillary. I won't risk another Republican in office after the wreckage we have to clean up from this one.

This is no time for sighs.

3. But what's the point if...
What's the point if the Dem *we* elect is no different or better (in a meaningful sense) than the Republican she'd be replacing?

Why set our sights *that* low?

5. What are you talking about?
Jesus, I do not support Hillary in any sense, but I also do not equate her with Bush/Cheney.

No better than Bush/Cheney? Take it to another thread, please. There's plenty here on DU. This one is to have some fun ripping the Republicans.

13. With any Dem, you WILL get--
--some sane judicial appointments
--an end to the war on science
--attacks on reproductive rights off the table
--some basic competence in executive branch appointments

Those things are worth it to me, even if we have to keep on fighting our own for the Constitution, against imperialism, and for real universal health care.

7. I see what you mean, joeybee12.
Tried to have a little fun playing off a previous thread. General Discussion: Politics is no place for the faint of heart, or the sane.

You are right, and I appreciate it.

10. I love the repug candidate bashing threads
Edited on Mon Dec-03-07 10:37 PM by seasat
Fred Thompson: Resembles one of the California raisins, only less intelligent

Mitt Romney: Just like a Ken Doll but contains more plastic

John McCain: All we have to do is give war a chance

Rudy Ghouliani: Proof that the Repugs will accept anyone as long as they want to start wars

Mike Huckabilly: Poster child for the Flat Earth Society

The rest of the cast: If it wasn't for the presidential race, they'd be standing on a milk crate on a street corner ranting about the New World Order

11. Mitt Romney Is Actually An Animatronic
Created at LDS headquarters from a 1964 Sears Roebuck underwear catalog. That is my theory.

THESE GOP CANDIDATES ARE THE WORST!! I'm not even being "librul biased," the GOP people I know do n't like them either. I just look at ALL those people and go, POTUS?? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!

Rudy = Crypt Keeper, complete with ghoulish tics and talk-spitting.

Huckabee - The part of Reverend Dimsdale from Scarlet Letter will be played by Kevin Spacey as Mike Huckabee.

Thompson, you have got to be kidding me. He's "Reaganesque" in the way that he'd start the prez term half out of his mind with senility and end it completely gonzo.

McCain is just a clueless old guy.

Ron Paul is worse that a crazy Republican - he's a crazy Libertarian.

Tancredo is the bestest at hatin' Mexicans. Great presidential credentials, if you're a Freeper!

Lil' Dunkin' played with guns at 9 years old, what an adorable story THAT was, NOT!

12. I'll give it a shot
Rudy Giuliani:

A fucking waste. He may have had a shot, but he single-handedly alienated practically every New Yorker who may have been dumb enough to figure him for the "hero" of September 11th by his incessant capitalizing on the disaster. I've seen plenty of politicians politicize heartache to bolster their campaigns, but Giuliani is the first I've seen to build an entire campaign around a singular disaster.

Mitt Romney:

Mormon New England Centrist seeks Republican nomination for the Presidency. Good luck, idiot.

Mike Huckabee:
..
Sure, it's a "fair tax", depending upon how one defines "fair"...

Fred Thompson:

Dude, where's my campaign?


Duncan Hunter:

Coerces society into raising your kids so you don't have to!

Tom Tancredo:

Tom Clancy ghostwriter wannabe.

John McCain:

John's learned a lot from his last presidential bid. He's much more conservative this time around.

Ron Paul:

"Libertarian": n. see "Republican"

Alan Keyes:

The RNC's answer to Kermit the Frog.
