Isn't Gephardt the poster boy for Democratic failure? |
|
Yeah he's good with labor. And he's worked against a lot of the crummy trade deals. I like him for that. But where the fuck has been his leadership?
Under his leadership the House has done nothing but bleed seats to the repukes.
I would be shocked if Kerry picked him. Shocked and more than a little disheartened. I don't think Gep is a vote getter.

If I'm not excited about the top of the ticket I hope I can at least not be offended by the bottom.

Talk about a political epitaph. Ugh. I say Edwards.

6. Failed to stop NAFTA, WTO, GATT |
|
Yeah, some friend. Gephardt did a lot for labor ten years ago, but he's long since sold out. Even the AFL-CIO had the sense and courage to oppose the war in Iraq. Gephardt's name is on the bill that approved the WTO, as Kucinich pointed out. I don't see how Gephardt makes anyone happy, except the establishment elite.
