We all have to be carefull how we bash the other candidates, Edwards is my favorite, and I do kick a little at the other candidates, however let it be known, we do have to support the choice of democrats in 2008, I will vote for any democrat, that is placed on the ticket in 2008....Gladly vote for any democrat that is on the ticket, however you can bet you bootie, that I am and Edwards person.Just as I was a firm Bill Clinton supporter for 8 years.

If we go running off angry because the person we supported didn't win, we will be looking at probably Jeb Bush for eight years....STICK TOGEATHER

2. Yeah Guys, Go Easy on Bill Richardson
Fall into line, don't let the GOP mistake our vigorous debate about matters of life and death for a lack of unity.

I won't "gladly" vote for any Dem candidate out there. It just so happens that some of them are fairly militaristic at a time when the stakes are extremely high, and I don't want someone in there that thinks the war on terror can be used as a setting to play "tough."

I will vote for any Dem, but a hawkish candidate would have to accept the pinching of my nose at the polling booth. I'm sure she wouldn't mind.

4. Just because there is a "D" before or after their name doesn't make them so
Allowing a DINO to be the nominee would be almost as bad as a 'republican' being president. Careful who you root for.

5. Not one Democrat that we have tryin for the job, is worse than having another Republican Pres.
Is worse than having another republian for 8 years, possibly having Jeb Bush.

8. I would like to let some major changes loose in the nation in 2008.
Just me.

I don't HAVE to support anyone in '08. If I think the "D" after a candidate's name is more representative of "DLC" than "Democratic Party," then a vote for that candidate is NOT a vote for change.

I think that I, the Democratic Party, the nation, and the planet loses with a DLC/Centrist/New Democrat/3rd way nomination.

10. That is exactly it
The political "Center" has been shifted way to the right of where it used to be. What we are calling a "Centralest" are not really from the center, but from where we used to call the Right. Our news is being slanted by a far right forces. The frog in the pan of water is an apt analogy and we are almost fully cooked.

9. K&R! If we lose this election, the right wing takeover of the Supreme Court will be complete
Abortion rights? History.
Civil rights? Rolled back 100 years.
Gay rights? Non-existent.

The right wing claims to win at the ballot box and not the Courts, but what they don't tell you is that they want to win at the ballot box (by any means necessary) so they can STACK THE COURTS and then win through the Courts for generations.
