Some positive thoughts about the candidates

[La_Serpiente]

I was sitting down at the Sir Wilfred's at the corner of my street and reading through the paper. Then I thought about all of the candidates and what kind of good things they would bring to the presidency if they were elected.

Edwards: Scare the shit out of the HMO's, Pharms, Big Polluters and everyone else.

Kerry: Bring a soldier's experience to the presidency. He also has a lot of experience on foreign policy matters and small businesses.

Gephardt: Concern for worker's rights and labor laws.

Clark: Bring a soldier's experience to the presidency. He also would probably change the military culture and debunk the stereotype that Democrats are not worthy for matters of national defense.

Dean: Bring a doctor's intuition to the presidency. Also a concern for those who need medical care. Knows how to energize the base.

Kucinich: Bring a different approach to foreign policy. One that emphasizes that peace should be a goal, not war. He would also put in place a Single-payer Health Care system.

Sharpton: Reform the judicial system so that it is not discriminatory towards minorities. Also emphasizing minority rights.

CMB: Bring a mother's intuition to the White House. Also would emphasize minority rights.

Lieberman: :shrug:

1. Lieberman would, at least,

bring more consideration for the environment into an administration.

Other than that, he couldn't possibly be as bad as these guys in there now, no matter what we think of him in comaprison to the others running.

2. Neither Kerry, Edwards, Gephardt, Lieberman, Dean, nor Clark will end...

the war and occupation of Iraq, and neither will Carol Mosley-Braun.

Only Dennis Kucinich will end the colonial occupation of Iraq. The charlatan Al Sharpton says that he will do the same, but he is not getting the nomination.

3. Well

I was hoping to bring out the positive attributes of the candidates, but I guess you have some fair crticisms.
