I'm done, I'm done, I'm done. Loved Howard Dean in 2003 and he's never made a wrong move for the people as far as I can see -- I'm done, done, done. Have worked too hard, cried too much, tired tired tired of empty shirts... HOWARD DEAN - DENNIS KUCINICH 2012 Because it is WAY TOO late to keep f**cking us over
Franken, Feingold, Kaptor, Sherrod Brown, Mukulski -- get in line for cabinet posts....

2. Well, perhaps they should. |
|
I like Dean - saw him locally in 2003 and I supported him 'till he dropped out. I also like Kucinich a lot. They would lose by a lot, but it would make things interesting.

10. We Need Kucinich in the House (or Senate) |
|
Uniting Howard Dean with the AFL-CIO's Richard Trumka might be a winning combination to oust Republican corporatist Obama in 2012. We need to solidly fuse the progressives with the labor movement to take back our Democratic Party and form a government that puts human needs before corporate profits.

4. What the hell? Could at least push the whole party leftward... |
|
... well, during the election. Once the election is over, the rhetoric is obviously discarded...

5. I would keep Dennis in Congress under a Dean administration |
|
Because he'd make a damn good Speaker of the House. Add Senate Majority Leader Russ Feingold, and NOW you got a team that can get the PEOPLE'S business done.

8. Do you think there will be challengers in 2012? |
|
Typically a sitting President does not face a primary fight from his own party, so I don't see how any Democrats would be running against him.
Nice try though.

12. I'd Like a Real Progressive Democrat To Rebuild Our Country. |
|
I liked the sound of Obama/Biden in 2008, when Obama was singing a progressive tune about providing health care, ending Wall Street corruption and restoring the rule of law. Since his election, he has sung a decidedly corporatist, Republican song, putting the Wall Street de-regulators in charge of our economy, refusing to hold the Bush-Cheney war criminals accountable, illegally detaining prisoners in Gitmo and Afghanistan, refusing to end DADT for our gay soliders, and making secret deals with Big Pharma and Health Insurance companies to deprive us of real health care reform. Too many liberal Republicans, having been drummed out of the old Republican Party by the religious nuts, have bought their way into the highest levels of our Democratic Party leadership, using the brillantly marketed Obama as their pawn.
We need to restore real democratic values and policies to our Democratic Party, Congress and Executive Branch by kicking our the Republican-lite DLCers from the Party and from the presidency. Obama has abandoned the Democratic Party platform he ran on in favor of a "protect the corporations" agenda. Enough!
Candidates such as Howard Dean and Richard Trumpka are needed to truly represent the interests of the 99.90 per cent of Americans who are neither millionaires nor corporate managers, but who are the backbone of our country. Unfortunately, Obama is representing only the interests of the wealthy and the corporations.

16. +1. I don't like Dean, but... |
|
...he's at least intelligent not to pick a political joke like Kucinich, a flip-flopping pro-lifer who was one of the worst US Mayors in history.

Democrats.
If they attempted a third party indie run the harsh reality of demographics would conspire against them.
They'd be buried alive.
