"Scolding"

6. he's right about Clark, wrong about Lieberman
if Lieberman doesn't belong in the party, and everyone to the right of him, we'd have about 25 senators and 100 congressman

8. We might also have about 20 million new voters
but it would probably take time we don't have right now

10. based on what?
Edited on Thu Jan-15-04 06:22 PM by Bombtrack
these Naderite arguments are always based on the absurd notion that non-voters are all or mostly far leftists

15. Is that "naderite"?
I didn't realize. I know little about him. I do think that if people thought that their interests could be achieved by voting, then the number of voters would grow. Sorry, no study to present. I'm not sure that all the way to the "far leftist" position is where we'd be dragged but I'd bank it would be left of center.

7. Ironically...
Senator Lieberman has far better credentials as a Democrat, and a far better record on issues than the person Moore is endorsing.

He was also elected as the Vice President in 2000. (Shortly before Wes Clark began praising the bush Administration, who weren't elected...)

9. True
First, I'm a Dean supporter, second, Kerry, third Clark;
but I will say for Clark that everybody has the right to change their mind over time. I think Clark has & I think Lieberman has also. Clark has drifted towards being a Democrat and has become one; Lieberman seems to me to be drifting away from what I consider the traditional Democratic positions, although I view traditional Democratic positions as being more liberal than the party has been recently & Lieberman is still a Democrat.
Lieberman has a record on issues because he has been a legislator. Clark by the nature of his professional experience does not really have a record.

12. Thanks for your post
For one thing, it's nice to see that all of Skinner's hard work seems to be paying off. People left over after the sifting are quite civil, and I truly appreciate that. You seem to be the cherry on top of the cream that rose to the top.

11. Sorry, I can't agree
Four more years of Bush, and Brittany Spears would have been a better choice. Our country and this world cannot endure 4 more years of Dim Son. I wouldn't care if Lieberman said that Scooby Doo was the only acceptable program on television, we cannot endure 4 more years like the 3 we have just been put through. Regardless of which person receives the nomination we just have to be 100% behind him.

_________(insert name)doesn't believe_____________(insert policy)

is far better than the current resident. Not only has * bankrupted us financially, he has bankrupted us morally. I shudder to think what he could do without the threat of deselection staring him in the face.

I have to believe that God is in our corner by evidence that s/he hasn't created a vacancy in the Supreme Court. Another Scalia or Thomas would make Asscroft feel like a kid in a candy store. Folks that is a nightmare in waiting. He would make Patriot I look like the Emancipation Proclamation and the Bill of Rights rolled into one.

ABB is not only a slogan, it should be our mantra.

13. Joe ain't so bad except for a few aspects.
Edited on Thu Jan-15-04 06:47 PM by cynicalSOB1
I think anybody but (x) is a bad idea with the exception *, but it would be better if it was Anybody But Fascists.

16. Unfair to Joe
many people don't LIKE Moore especially the more centrist among us. Like ME. I think he's disingenuous and uses progressives to sell his stuff. Now, we get back to the same arguument; what good does it do to criticize the candidate most hawkish on terrorism, which is Wesly Clarks primary appeal as well? My ongoing complaint about Clark is he needs to step up and state he is not soft on terrorism like the other candidates.

He's just asking for it........
