Poll question: Should I run for the Democratic nomination, or continue to attack Nader? |
|
Lately I've been thinking of running for President again, as I did in 2004, but this time under the Democratic Party rather than my own Most Progressive Party. I'm getting more than a little tired of this right-wing corporatist capitulator, this Dennis Kucinich, who to me represents the Republican wing of the Democratic Party. I will run far to the left of Mr. Kucinich, where the Democratic base is, and my research has shown that this will get the 50% of people who don't vote to show up in droves because I am the leftist hero that they have all been staying home waiting for.
Among my planks:
- No more dependance on oil at all. I will wean us off of petroleum within nine months. - Not just universal single-payer health care, but universal wellness programs as well to anyone who wants them. This means you get a free gym membership and some of those magnetic insoles for your shoes, air purifier thing, some kinda back massage or whatever the fuck. - 20 hour work week, and anyone who tries to kiss ass and work more than 25 goes to jail. - Troops home yesterday. No this is not a ridiculous goal. No I don't have a time machine. I will pass a bill that will say that the troops have been ordered home on May 2nd, 2003, and all the Republicans go to jail who have passed bills extending their stay beyond that for disobeying the orders of the commander-in-chief. - Zack de la Rocha as White House Press Secretary, and yes I will let him yell at the corporate whore media.
Where is Dennis Kucinich promising any of these things? Well then why are you voting for him?
This of course will take up more of my free time, and I might not be able to take my role exposing Nader as aggressively. But because I will be running to the left of Nader as well, I can expect him to shut up now thank you because my campaign will be so awesome.
What say you?

8. Well, I would have to go through Nancy Pelosi, who is the only person standing in the way. |
|
I'm giving myself nine months to prepare to speak truth to power.

5. So what have *you* done for the American consumer, LZ? |
|
I know Nader is the source of all evil according to your world view, but he has done quite a bit to help protect and further the cause of the consumer in thiscorporate controlled society. Just WTF have you done except bitch about misdirect blame?

7. Change the colors of the American flag to just White and Blue. |
|
Add the word "Bush" to the list of words you can't say on T.V.; it can replace the word "tits," which never really belonged on the list anyway.
Let's build a border fence between Oklahoma and Texas.
And give Texas back to Mexico-- whether Mexico wants them or not.
I'm tired of messing with Texas, and I'm tired of Texas messing with us. Our progressive Brethren from Texas can come crash on my couch until they find their own homes in America.
Oh, and choose Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey as your running mate.
