I've not said this before: I agree with Dean
I've been a frequent Dean critic and strong Clark supporter, and I will still fight for Wes till the end. But I've just decided that if it comes down to Kerry versus Dean at the end of the primary, I'm supporting Dean. I'm sick of Washington Democrats ... their failures, their dirty tricks, and their inability to save our Party. I once believed Dean would destroy our Party, but I no longer believe so. We will not win the general election with a Washington Democrat (except for Edwards, he's got a shot). We can only save our Party with new, firey blood.

Go Clark and Dean!

1. Our Washington democrats are proven to be
Edited on Mon Jan-26-04 09:03 PM by liberalnurse
"miserable failures" when it comes to standing up for me, you....us...against the *bush regime.

There are a few exceptions such as Harkins, Kennedy, come to mind but there are few.... who represent the people all the time.

A good example....who was not in Washington to vote on the overtime issue in the Senate.....Lieberman, Edwards, Kerry.....all no shows.The most recent vote is what I'm refering to now.

4. Don't be so hard on the Washington Democrats.

Kerry is a true liberal and I believe he has always remained true to his beliefs.

Democrats in DC just have to get angry.

3. In Bizarro Twist Of The Day, I Kind Of Agree
Ardent Clark supporter who admires the way Dean can motivate people.

The Media must be held accountable.

7. That is a very tough one for me
Edited on Mon Jan-26-04 09:10 PM by tishaLA
I have to say. I like what you say about Dean as an outsider and moving away from that. And Dean has really energized the Democratic electorate. I like his feistiness and his desire to dig in when others would take the easy way out.

That said, Kerry has a great record in the senate (with a few mistakes, admittedly--but those mistakes are blips on the radar compared to others' votes) and I respect his intellectualism and his credentials.

It would be a tough decision. (on edit: And one I HOPE I don't have to make)

Here was my favorite response to the first time you served up this particular entree:

So you change the packaging and return with the same product? No sale here, sorry.

10. Just switch the candidate's names, and presto!
You have my position exactly!

(Though I haven't criticized Clark, always like him!)

If it comes down to Kerry or Edwards vs Clark, Clark has my vote!
