  • i wonder if the people who think these candidates are exactly like Bush thought that Bill Clinton was exactly like Bush.

    i seem to remember he was different in a lot of ways...

    Voting for any of the three mainstreamers is ignoring the fire as it continues to grow.

    thats the most telling statement i've seen here, so far.

    Talk about ignoring the truth.

    Once again,
    did you, OR eddie, really think picking the jerk-off Democratic counterpart to Bush ...
    you know, the OTHER Skull & Bones candidate ...
    was going to make any difference?

    Give me a fucking break.

    why are you so hostile from what jeffbr said??
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    I don't think so. I may have argued against some of your positions, but in a lot of cases on here when I argue against liberals I get labeled a conservative, and when I argue against conservatives I get labeled a liberal. I suppose I'm a little closer to a conservative as a Libertarian, but not a conservative Republican. I didn't vote for GW either time, and I think I would have remembered blowing him.

    Yes, I was blowing Paul. He is not a mainstream candidate, had previously received my vote as the Libertarian candidate for President in the '80s and has been running against the mainstream in his party the entire time he's been in congress. So a vote for Paul was not a vote for mainstream 2 party politics as usual. If you dont' understand that you really haven't been paying attention.

    So let me get this straight, you think candidates with platforms like Paul's or Kucinich's are mainstream not because of the content or their plans, the extreme criticism of their own parties or because of their obvious pulling away from the usual policies of both of their parties...but you see them as mainstream solely because they are inside the Dem or Rep party?

    How do you not get that? People are smart enough here for me to not have to say 'except Paul and Kucinch or the ones you feel have been doing a good job.' Vote em all out is obviously addressing the ones that aren't doing their job since that is the whole point behind vote em all out. And the overwhelming majority of our gov't is not doing a good job hence the 19% approval rating. Why would I have to say except the ones who are doing a good job? I really don't care for stating the obvious. How would it make sense to vote out the guys I like? I simply didn't think it needed to be spelled out so plainly.
