13. GU?
I don't know what that means. I'm saying that I have a lot of problems with Hillary Clinton, and I don't like the fact that some people equate NOT wanting her to be president with WANTING a Republican President.

Two very different things. Look, if I lived in a swing state, I may not have the luxury of voting "no confidence", but I do, so I won't be filling in an oval for someone I can't stand.

People here seem to think that's tantamount to voting for Brownback or whatnot, but my state is gonna go blue. I don't live in PA.

17. Hillary isn't in your post. You said Joe. If you have a point to make about
Edited on Sun Jan-21-07 12:04 PM by xultar
Hillary then fuckin make that point.

You don't like Hill fine. You don't vote for the nominee you're voting for the Rethugs to win.

FUCKIN SIMPLE.

The electoral college is set up so that my vote DOES NOT COUNT. Do you understand that?

So who are you going to vote for? This is Democratic Underground...we support the nominee.

18. who is this "we" you're referring to...?
"We" support the best candidate for the job where I vote from. "We" HOPE that person is the democratic party nominee, but "we" are sometimes disappointed-- and take our votes elsewhere.

23. That's fine. Take your vote elsewhere. I'm saying a vote for a third-party candidate
is a vote for the Rethugs to win.

Simple.

The OP is talking about me. They are taking a swipe @ me in their op.

That makes as much sense - you have to be a Democrat to get the Democratic nomination, and HolyJoe is no longer a Democrat.

30. "situations that will never happen...."
Lieberman came "this close" to the white house in 2000, and there was a strong contingent of Lieberman for prez support on DU and elsewhere in 2004. No, I don't think it likely that he'll be anywhere close to the nomination in 2008, but the OP's point is a good one, and not nearly so far-fetched as you suggest. Hillary Clinton is not that far away from Lieberman, IMO, and presents many of the same difficulties.

Edited on Sun Jan-21-07 12:23 PM by generaldemocrat
if it allows traitors like Lieberman and Zell Miller rise to the top.

The Democratic Party is afraid to hold it's leaders accountable. When DINOs get bashed for appeasing Republicans they say "We must have a large tent".

I don't agree with that logic, you can't allow Benedict Arnolds and Quislings to rise to the top in this party while true progressives are sidelined.

54. Pfft. As if.
He won't even have a shot in hell at re-election.

And he did such a bang-up job last time he ran for President. (Remember his three-way tie for third place in NH?) Heck the people in CT didn't even vote for him then!

He's cooked. His only hope for a continued life in politics after this term is jumping ship formally. That's why I think he's hoping to be asked to the prom by McCain.

There's a lot of buyer's regret here from the people who did vote for him this last time. Not that they weren't warned...

When it comes to someone like that, it's not a matter of parties. He's a vicious, despicable little man, vindictive and petty. he's dangerous. I wouldn't vote for Joe Lieberman in a million years. Belee dat.

if they decide on a Democratic presidential bid. After all, they ARE Democrats and to disagree with them would mean that we support Republicans and don't deserve to post on DU. And god forbid, but some holier-than-thou poster will put us on his/her ignore list.
