is a decent man. I wonder why Americans ignore people like him. Is it really inconceivable to elect a decent human being as your president for a change?

When I look at the democratic party candidates I cringe. Hilary Clinton? Obama? these are the only viable alternatives to Bushistan?

Ah we know only a white man can do the job, preferably non-Jew, non-Catholic, non-Muslim.

Kucinich?

No prizes for guessing who you're voting for then, I guess.

>Kucinich?

Too far left, even for the Democrats. Which is unfortunate, because he does have some good ideas.

Wesley Clark is Jewish.

Obama is NOT a good choice. He is a professional actor.

If I was an American citizen, I'd vote for Kucinich. Hands down he's better all of them combined.

and he is a lawyer. Too many fucking lawyers in politics.

Clark converted to Catholicism, you know, from Baptism.

You right. His grandfather was Jewish.

I have great admiration for him.

I don't  know who I'm voting for, Colm.  It is really too early to say who is a better candidate.

"Kucinich"

I find it interesting that on many bills, Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul are the only two voting against it.

Biden and Kucinich seem like respectable choices.  Biden is probably the strongest guy up there on foreign policy, most capable, and that's basically what the president is supposed to be about.

Biden is probably the clear choice.

Second best, realistic choice, seems to be Hillary, and then maybe Edwards. 

At least with Biden, I feel pretty sure he will do things and stay in touch with many different sources for advice.  With the others, sometimes I wonder if they aren't just wonderful campaigners; don't know if they would fade or not once elected.

"I find it interesting that on many bills, Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul are the only two voting against it."

Interesting.  What bills?

Wasn't kennedy a rampant catholic breeder?

I don't remember. Last week I was reading some article on how Paul votes no on lots of strange things and it gave some examples and Kucinich was his compatriot in dissension.

Example: "Kucinich and Paul Vote Against House Resolution to Sanction Ahmadinejad"

Hm, looking that up led to some other people who have noticed he same thing ...

"Kucinich-Paul in '08?"

"The Ohio Democrat and the Texas Republican have a significant bond: They're antiwar activists detested by their party establishment who, on a bipartisan or third-party ticket, could command significant grass-roots support."

I would actually vote for that ticket. It would really be something.

That Iran vote:

They are practically married already!

"Ron Paul has co-sponsored a bill with another presidential contender, Democrat Dennis Kucinich, that would repeal President Bush's authority to use force in Iraq within the next sixth months."
