I am a single-issue voter this election cycle.

[LiberalAndProud]

I am PRO-PEACE and I VOTE. (Taking a lesson from my Republican PRO-LIFE neighbors.)

I want to hear a cogent, well considered plan for disabling the war machine in Iraq with all due haste. If your candidate doesn't have the single-minded intention to end this war, I'm not likely to vote for your candidate. Period.

This madness MUST end.

[grasswire]

1. Me too

My issue is Bill of Rights and privacy. Which candidate will promise to repeal the FISA laws? Which candidate will promise to truly defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?

[Oldenuff]

9. I'm with you

It's a darn shame that people are so hung up on the lesser issues.Not that they are not terribly important,it's just that they pale in comparison to our rights and freedoms.What good is taking a stand on an issue,while our freedoms are stripped away?For me it's the Patriot Act..Real ID Act...Fisa...the new passport rules....

[The Vinyl Ripper]

18. With your avatar..

I would think that you would be more concerned by the two million Americans in prison and the wholesale destruction of personal privacy wrought by the War On Drugs..

I mean they look inside your fuckin' bloodstream for bog's sake..

Just sayin'

[Oldenuff]

25. Yes,you are right

But the assault on our liberties is far more important.At least to me it is.There could be a time where anyone voicing their opinion on a topic such as this could be thrown in prison with the other non violent "offenders",and we could all look back and say we were more interested in gun control than the repeal of the Patriot Act.

[Jed Dilligan]

33. The funny thing is (actually not funny at all)

we actually have a shot at getting an anti-Iraq War candidate. There still aren't any frontrunners with the courage to question the Drug War madness.

[Omphaloskepsis]

16. Do you honestly think that anything they say will translate into action?

I doubt it.

[rodeodance]

2. the 'machine' , I think, is part of who Americans are.

[panader0]

3. It should be as easy to disable as it was to enable.

Put the soldiers on a plane and fly them home. Leave the stuff there, bring the folks home.

[bvar22]

26. Gen Clark has said we could do this in less than 2 weeks.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

32. I don't follow Clark, but from want Clark supporters post about him, I like the guy.

What are the chances Clark jumps in?

We talk so much here about our front runners, --we have a lot of suprises that could come our way.

[Buzz Clik]

4. Don't hold your breath.

If you intend to vote Democratic, you'd better pray for the full-blown miracle that gets Kucinich elected. Even at that, it will take months.

The draw-down of troops begins in earnest in 12 months. The Dems need to be smiling broadly and endorsing it, or the GOP will take full credit.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

5. In The General Election Just Vote For The Democrat. That's All Ya Need To Know When That Time Comes

[Sarah Ibarruri]

8. Thank you. That's what I believe as well.

At the end of the day Republicans will never get my vote.

[LiberalAndProud]

13. good idea.

[bettyellen]

29. wow, to be so simple minded and trusting must be nice.

can't say i relate to, or remember ever being such a dupe.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

6. He does

His name is Dennis Kucinich. I voted for him in '04 and will vote for him again in '08.

[LiberalAndProud]

20. My primary ballot is meaningless.

I marked my ballot for John Edwards in '04. However, it was a symbolic gesture, as Kerry had been declared the Official Democratic Nominee.
Even so, Rep. Kucinich will have my primary vote. He is my choice for '08 thus far, but it literally, does not count, electorally speaking.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

23. your primary vote is never meaningless

I voted for Kucinich in '04 in MAY, when our primary was held. I did it to vote my conscience-and to test to make sure my vote really counted. Our local paper tallies the votes in the various precincts--if none had come up for Kucinich, I would have complained to the County Clerk, as I had a pretty good idea exactly how many votes he would get. (I have done this before, when I lived in Illinois-in 1980 they tried touch screen voting, and I found that my vote hadn't counted-my complaint got them to get rid of the touch screens at that time.)

7. It's a good thing the abolitionists were not single issue voters in 1860

Lincoln was anything but an abolitionist, and would have been willing to let slavery alone if it had saved the union. Nor was he a big fan of racial equality. In any event, abolitionists made the practicable choice that year.

[ThomWV]

10. Me Too - Different Issue - C O N S T I T U T I O N

[LiberalAndProud]

15. The war is the excuse for the suspension of civil liberties.

Our revered President Abraham Lincoln set the precedent. (Look it up.)

[lonestarnot]

19. Civil rights are a thing of the past. My voting right was stolen twice now.

[mike_c]

11. I'm a multi-issue voter, but the war *and U.S. foreign policy*...

...are my top priorities. They are 100 percent deal breakers-- any candidate who wants my vote must be planning immediate troop withdrawal and major changes in U.S. foreign policy.

[The Count]

12. I'm with ya. And credibility matters. Johnny come lately who sponsored IWR -

do not qualify - no matter how loud they bloviate now-a-days. because when it mattered....

[Fridays Child]

14. We must co-opt "pro-life" and expose their hypocrisy. How about this...

You call this pro-life?



I'm voting for the candidate who will end this war. I'm pro-life.

[NotGivingUp]

28. The end product of the military industrial complex. We must put an end to this madness. n/t

[RaleighNCDUer]

17. I'm not single issue, by any means, but that is the one issue I

will not compromise on.

I would love to have to decide between pro-peace candidates. And I don't mean peace in a year. I don't mean pull out the combat troops while leaving 50,000 'security' troops (and their associated mercenaries) behind.

I saw a headline saying one of the GOPers wants us out by the end of the year. If THEY say we can do it, why can't WE say we can do it?

[JVS]

21. .

:thumbsup:

[mzteris]

22. Me, too

VOTE DEMOCRATIC!

Whoever that may be.

(Unless, of course, we eat our own in the process :( and there is no viable candidate left standing because we provided *them* with all the ammunition they would ever need.






What anti-Democratic-candidate meme did you start today?

[porphyrian]

24. Like this...?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

27. Me too

This war is turning Americans into war criminals and bankrupting the country.

[Cha]

30. I' ve been a single issue

voter since 2002..it's the ultimate test. If you fall for buSHIT then you're not my person.
