I'll second that.
I really don't know who would fit the bill as a good VP with him though... maybe Edwards or Obama.
I'm not a big fan of Edwards, but I think that he could do well as a VP for issues like health care and poverty. I just don't want him in charge for our foreign policy or military.
I would be ok with an Obama/Richardson ticket as well... that could be a nice balance of a charismatic leader and a VP that could add his executive and foreign policy experience.

If this is the Libertarian ticket then +1.
Is Ron Paul considered a libertarian or a republican? I do recall that he ran for president back in the day as a libertarian. I need to 'read up' on him.

Ron Paul is very much a Libertarian. The Republican establishment despises him.
Paul/Bednarik
Next month though I am attending a meeting of the New Jersey Libertarian Party where well get to meet and discuss issues with the candidates for the Libertarian party nomination. Depending on what these people have to say my support may change to one of them.
Paul/Bednarik
Count me in! Looks like we have an MT front-runner!
Edwards/Obama
No Clinton, America isn't ready for her.

hahahaha, I must say that a 17 year old Indian kid from Washington has had more of an impact on American society than any president in a VERY long time. Well... since Clinton and Lewinsky that is. There is this movie called American Dreamz where they actually address this issue. It's about a society where more people vote for the next pop singer on a pointless TV show than they do for the presidential election (which happened to be going on at the exact same time).

Oh my, they dropped the leash.

To win in 2008 they need, NEED to get the antiwar vote. A person cant be elected without it

Actually Ron Paul and Michael Bednarik both believe we should pull the troops out immediately.
We won't HAVE to go back. We could CHOOSE to go back.
Pulling out is wiser than staying and sacrificing more lives. In gambling and investing they say never chase bad money with good. Same rule should apply here. We should get out tomorrow and stay out.

Why should our troops continue to die over there when the very people they are trying to defend are not doing what is necessary to secure their country. I gave the President the benefit of the doubt with this new surge. If by January 2008 we do not see significant improvements or the Iraqi government is failing to hold it's end of the deal we pack up and go home. No amount of money, time, or troops will fix that country if the very citizens are not willing to put aside their diferences and work towards a better Iraq.
I highly doubt Iran will physically come in and take over. What would happen is that a Shi'ite leadership, with strong ties to Iran, will seize control. This can basoically happen anyway through elections, so we can continue to stay there, continue to have our troops killed off, and in 5 years the people of Iraq can elect a government (predominatly Shi'ite) that has strong ties to Iran and all those deaths and billions of dollars would have been for nothing.
+1
Sadly, it seems you don't have to be actually antiwar to get support for the left on this board. You just have have to choose your wording very carefully and make your plans of action vague enough to appeal to everyone pretty much.

If I hear one more progressive, vegan, animal-rights person say to me that Dennis Kucinich can't possibly win, I think I am going to bust. It's one thing if unenlightened and uniformed people like David Letterman, who know nothing about Kucinich want to poke fun at his campaign, but there's no excuse for such defeatism by progressives, particularly at this stage of the game. If this is what you believe, then I believe you. Since your thoughts create your reality, then you will end up with the leader you focus your attention on. I know in my heart that there is no other politician in Washington (or anywhere in this country) who more closely represents everything I care deeply about: peace, compassion, economic justice, social equality, access for all to quality healthcare ... the list goes on and on. So I am focusing all of my energy and attention on Dennis Kucinich.
When I was growing up, I remember being told over and over again that anyone could become President of the United States. Well, we see now, that that is true. The one thing they didn't tell us though, is that anyone with BIG MONEY behind him or her can become President. Still, we all continue to dream of that little guy, that person who is really "one of us" occupying the Oval Office. Dennis Kucinich is that guy! He's the person we've been waiting for all of our lives. After 40 years of public service, his record for representing the best interests of his constituents, his integrity, his voting record on the war, animal rights, the environment, and issues of equality are unparalleled! Do you know that he is the only Presidential Candidate who voted against the war in Iraq and who also voted against funding the war 100% of the time? (Both Clinton and Obama have voted to fund the war 100% of the time, Edwards 87% of the time, and Clinton even voted for us to go to war.) There was no confusion about whether or not we should have invaded a country which had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11, and had neither the intention nor the capability to attack the United States. Don't let anyone in Congress tell you that they were "fooled" by the Bush Administration. Dennis Kucinich knew better, voted his conscience, and stood his ground.
If you care deeply about creating peace here at home and in the world, animal rights, environmental protection, global warming, developing healthy, safe, and renewable sources of energy, healthcare, economic justice, and equality, there is no better choice. The time is now to support a man who will bring these ideals to the forefront of American politics, and lead us back on the path of becoming a partner in the family of nations. Dennis Kucinich represents the greatest hope for our future. I refuse to buy into a defeatist line of thinking, which tells me that you don't believe we deserve to have such a man leading our country. I do believe we deserve it. Not only do we deserve it, we desperately need it. For without such leadership, we are doomed to more of the same. If you truly want to create change in the world, then change your mantra! Start saying he can and will win! Start believing that we all deserve something far better than what we have become accustomed to in Washington. Support Dennis Kucinich for President in 2008 NOW!
Yes We Can!

If anyone has any suggestions for sticker-lingo, I always appreciate the input.
These bumper stickers are so you, ffg! Hilarious. So, do you 'make' these bumper stickers yourself? Did you come up with most of the ideas for them?

The ideas are mostly mine, though it's tough to take credit for originality in the world of one-liners. I've seen a lot of variations or duplications on some of these.
The Pelosi one is my favorite.
