In the '08 elections, I don't want a candidate that will "get along"
with republicans. Cut a deal with the devil, you get burned as we have unfortunately found out. I prefer candidates that will reinstitute the constitution by executive order when they take office and end the mess in Iraq. So I'm wary. I want assurances after the crap we have been through. And I don't want what has happened swept under the rug or rewritten.

2. Any that will have that approach.
Dodd said he would do the executive order thing immediately.

6. I wish Dodd's name rhymed with like, 'cause I like Dodd, too.
I wish he had more money and connections.

8. Others would restore the constitution as well.
I like the idea that Richardson would restore the constitution and the bill of Rights and wants the US part of the International Court.

11. Me too. Equal air time would be great.
Eliminate false questions and crisis's such as those asked by Russert and it might would even be informative.

4. I don't have to have punishment if the people can get the truth.
No sweeping anything under the rug and the abuses have to stop cold.

10. I think any of the democrats would beat the republicans.
You don't have too many choices out there. Dennis Kucinich introduced House Resolution 333 to impeach Cheney and he wants the patriot act repealed immediately but I don't think he is allowed to be president, he doesn't support the corporations, so I think that means that we the people cant vote for him? Thats what my tv and allot of DUers tell me. Presidents must be good at selling themselves out so they can raise money to run campaigns? I don't understand it because if you are in office you don't have to raise money, just make good decisions for the country and the people.

Kucinich said there was no evidence for war in Iraq in 2002 and voted against it, he introduced HR 333 and wants Cheney impeached and is speaking out about the attack on our constitution by the government, all of which make him unelectable so ignore him.:sarcasm:
