7. Well, if you could what would you call yourself?
In other words, which party platform, if any, do you support?

6. The Democratic Party is the most important party in the world
because noone else can stop these people.

Try to make the Democrats fight for election reform
- but never ever let them down.

18. I disagree.
America's well on the way to becoming a third world dictatorship, and the Europeans, for now the most powerful people on earth, will be dealing with it appropriately. Mostly through containment and exploitation. They're already investing far more than we are in Central and South America.

As for the Democrats, they are finished as a national party.

28. People have to wake-up! We are right now a closet fascist
state, but will be out of the closet real soon.

I have said it before, many times here. Everything is in place for it. The debacle that the Democrats put on yesterday (with the exception of Boxer and Conyers et al) proved it.Tell 'em what they want to hear, and then do what ever the heck you want, like voting NO, and by doing so, legitimizing the illegitimate.

32. Closet?
The Europeans and Asians already know this. Only Americans are blind (probably because our media isn't worth a shit).

36. John Kerry has done what he thinks is best for the anti-Bush cause
Whether he was right, I don't know.

The Democrats should fight for election reform. In my home country Norway, e-voting without a paper trail would be considered just the sick joke it is. The American people are not idiots, the Democrats can't lose a debate about election reform.

9. I'll always believe in Democratic principles, but
the Democratic party must prove that they do too. No doubt some of them still do, like the CBC. I'm not so sure about the others.

17. He's a chronic rhetorical masturbator is what he is.
I thought it was funny that he took the UAW's money to fund his show, and then used it to do things like assert his belief in MIHOP and whittle his markets down to four (claiming that the stations that dropped him were cowardly rather than just, you know, sane).

Riddance! :hi: I just hope this now serves as an impetus for enough people to get pissed at him that we can put someone useful in his Air America time slot!

21. Mike Tells It Like It Is
Even when it's not pretty, Mike not only tells you what's going on and why, but adds the perspective of his years of experience in resisting the corporate-fascist-bigot element in politics. Unlike most busy Americans with information overload he is able to draw analogies and point out the mistakes of the past we seem to keep repeating through a combination of ignorance, naivete, and misplaced patriotism.

I've always considered myself a progressive, fiscally responsible independent voter and I never affiliated with any party. This year i volunteered, contributed, protested and posted on-line and in my local newspaper. I truly believe we won some battles and won the war against Bush on election day. Now my skepticism has been replaced by disillusionment with the Democratic Party which I thought was moving in the right direction. Yesterday was a rag-tag surrender and another opportunity lost..

We want to believe everything is OK or will be OK. We want to trust our leaders. We want the moral high-ground. Right now these are all slipping away. I'm afraid our economic leadership position is also undergoing a painfully steady erosion as the European Union moves ahead.

What do we do now? It's time for new leadership and new ideas. Who among us will step up or who should we embrace?

22. I was a registered Democrat until 1997
when I registered as "unaffiliated." I stuck with the Democratic Party though it often disappointed me by ignoring issues of importance to the bulk of Americans, and by taking campaign money from corporate sources. Dropping out of the party felt like leaving a dysfunctional relationship.

23. Thanks for the link ...
Mike has no fear in telling it like it is. We need more like that. When push comes to shove, of course I will vote for the Democrat candidate over the Republican. I feel most of us would. But I'm so bitterly disappointed over the Democrats (non)actions yesterday
( except for you Barbara Boxer! ), that I most certainly won't be donating time and money to the Democrat cause next time out. ( It truly pains me to say that .) But when they don't stand up for us... the integrity of our sacred vote ... well, what's the point ?! Who has our back now, Mr. Kerry ? As soon as I log off here I'm going to call my two Dem Senators ( Cantwell voted NO on the challenge yesterday , Murray tried to have it both ways by NOT voting - same for Jim McDermott ), and let them know in no uncertain terms, that until they stand up and force through legitimate Election reform , getting rid of these Republican tabulating electronic machines, there will be NO support from my family and I. This is the ONLY important issue at this time in our history, in my opinion.

A good DU link for other Washingtonians on the Snohomish Sequoia machines - and why Cantwell ( and ALL of us ) should be especially worried...

What does everyone think about the number of Dems that didn't even show up or bother casting a vote?

29. Personally it doesnt matter what party you list,
cause at the end of the day the only thing that matters is who you vote for. I left the dems back in the late 90's because of the leaderships support of GATT, NAFTA, Plan Columbia etc etc but voted for Gore and Kerry and tried to convince other Greens and Libertarians to as well.

Maybe a drop of support to the Democratic Party would make the leadership wake up and see that they need to move in the direction of the PDA if they want to recover support. But no matter who leaves the party, if the 2008 ticket is Boxer / Kucinich or Boxer / Conyers or something like that, I can gaurantee you that every x democrat would be out pounding the streets raising support for the democratic ticket. On the other hand, if its a middle to right wing leaning ticket that is trying to pander to the right wingers and corporate interests, the democratic party will be history. IMHO.

Why help build back the party when the leadership has already bailed on us ? (Except Boxer, and the CBC of course.)

the Dem party like the neocons took over the Republican party, we'd have a better chance

He's just too dark.
