Which centrist are you for?

[onehandle]

No, I didn't include candidates who suspended their campaigns, or Gravel, or "somebody else."

I'm telling you, statistics II would really help out.

3. You should ad "elected in 2000 and has no prior legislative experience"

[MNDemNY]

4. Also, "elected in 2004, and has a racist mentor and smelly feet."

[anonymous171]

9. Afrocentric Black Liberation Theology is better?

I don't think so

[anonymous171]

12. You probably don't even know the first thing about Liberation Theology, do you?

[GoldieAZ49]

16. just what I have read about it online

[anonymous171]

17. Good Place to start:

Liberation Theology:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_theology
"It emphasizes the Christian mission to bring justice to the poor and oppressed, particularly through political activism."

Black Liberation Theology:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_liberation_theology
"This theology maintains that African Americans must be liberated from multiple forms of bondage—social, political, economic and religious. This liberation involves empowerment and seeks the right of self-definition, self-affirmation and self-determination."

24. Simply read some James Cone.

8. Does elected experience trump political leanings?

If so, then "The centrist Junior Senator who was elected in 2004" is your candidate.

[GoldieAZ49]

11. I think McCain trumps that argument

should it come up in the GE

[onehandle]

18. mmMaybe. nt

6. Progressives for Obama

Progressives for Obama

Tom Hayden, Bill Fletcher Jr., Danny Glover & Barbara Ehrenreich








All American progressives should unite for Barack Obama. We descend from the proud tradition of independent social movements that have made America a more just and democratic country. We believe that the movement today supporting Barack Obama continues this great tradition of grassroots participation, drawing millions of people out of apathy and into participation in the decisions that affect all our lives. We believe that Barack Obama's very biography reflects the positive potential of the globalization process that also contains such grave threats to our democracy when shaped only by the narrow interests of private corporations in an unregulated global marketplace. We should instead be globalizing the values of equality, a living wage and environmental sustainability in the new world order, not hoping our deepest concerns will be protected by trickle-down economics or charitable billionaires. By its very existence, the Obama campaign will stimulate a vision of globalization from below.

As progressives, we believe this sudden and unexpected new movement is just what America needs. The future has arrived. The alternative would mean a return to the dismal status quo party politics that has failed so far to deliver peace, healthcare, full employment and effective answers to crises like global warming.

10. There are Progressives for Hillary too. There were Progressives for Bill, Gore, and even Lieberman.

Progressives have gone for a lot of centrists lately.

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. Want to show me a poll on Progressives for Hillary?

Which is the race you are talking about right now, not Gore, not Bill.
I am willing to give it to you if you want.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. None of the 3.

Obama is "not as bad as" Hillary
Hillary and Obama are "not as bad as" McLoony

All of them are too conservative for me to vote for them.

[zonmoy]

19. same for me.

[high density]

20. Vote for them... when?

If you mean the general election then I assume you'd be fine with McLoony putting people on the Supreme Court instead of Clinton or Obama?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

23. Well, if my vote (or non-vote) decides the election, get back to me.

Sorry, the standard "the end is near unless you hold your nose" threat no longer works for me.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

21. The centrist junior Senator that suspended his campaign before ST.

:woohoo:\

Interesting.
