Does anyone else wish we voted for a Party instead of a Savior?

This cult of personality Presidential crap is for the birds.

1. Well, with the DLC stranglehold on the

...Democratic Party, it's been really hard to vote party. What do they stand for? Certainly not the rights of working people to decent wages, health care (they dumped that one in 2000), and a safe retirement. They've pretty much rubberstamped everything the insane Bush crowd has asked for. They're useless to most lifelong Democrats, and they need to go before they alienate what's left of the party.

The main thing Kerry's got going for him right now is that he dumped his DLC handlers and hired Kennedy's guys. I can vote for a boat-rocker who has done at least that much.

2. The British had Thatcher int he 80s and now they have Tony Blair

The British had Thatcher in the 80s and now they have Tony Blair, so voting for a party doesn't always turn out well.

6. I never said it was perfect.

Notta once.

[whistle]

3. Who voted for a savior?

...Bush got in as president by a coup de tat. The republicans stole the 2000 election and the Supreme Court was part of the conspiracy to place a "moral" person in the oval office. Bush was no savior. He was packaged and marketed by slick operators and the republicans were behind this to establish themselves as the only party in America by whatever means necessary. They are still waging that war and have to be stopped.

5. In general, not just Generalissimo el Busho.

Conceptually, all of the time under all circumstances, sorry I wasn't clear enough before.

4. I know what you mean, JanMichael...

It sucks. I hate to think we, as a Party, have become dependent on one single person to save our souls and our Party. There are no Saviors out there, unblemished, perfect, waiting to sit on the throne and represent each and every one of our interests. It is impossible. It cannot be done. We need a person that will represent our Party, not a Savior.
