Protest Harry Reid Being Our Next Leader
We can have this Bush conformer who is pro life representing us in the Senate! We need to define our issues, not conform to theirs! Please help!

2. How is he a Bush conformer other than he is pro life?
Ive been hearing a lot about this, it was Harry Reid, I must remind everyone that helped us become a majority in the senate a few years back, he persuaded Jim Jeffords to leave the republican party. Granted Reid is far from the most liberal democrat in the US Senate but Reid is a democrat.

6. you called him a Bush conformer, I want votes that examplify this
You become a Bush conformer IMO by consistently supporting Bush over time like voting to confirm his judges, voting for the tax cuts, etc, voting to drill in alaska.

3. I'm not a Democrat....
I'm 'unaffiliated'. I've voted Dem all my life but left the party after 2000. Now you know why...

*yawn*

Reid is pathetic. Face it. The Democrats HAVE NO LEADERS.

Anywhere...

9. The Dem Party is currently hopeless, imo. I don't care who they choose.
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 12:43 AM by saywhat
The fact that they have let this THIRD, count it, THIRD, electoral theft to take place without protesting what's going on to the hilt is all I need to know. I may or I may not vote Democratic again.

10. I'll reject him if he's not an effective leader-type
If he can't help the party regain some of it's lost glory, if he's the kind of leader who who can't really lead, then I'm all for replacing him with someone else.

But why should I reject him because he's "pro life"? If that's how he feels about that one issue, who are we to insist that he should conform to someone else's position? Abortion rights are only unofficial, not official, positions taken by the Democratic party; no one is beholden to a party stance on the issue because there is none.
