You do realize, don't you, that if it weren't for the Iraq occupation

All of our Democratic Candidates would be dream candidates. We could have the first woman President in the history of the United States. We could have the first African American president in the history of our country. We have a real shot at health care for everyone. We have a chance to undo the damage that the GOP has done these last 13 years. We can guarantee that the Supreme Court will not swing too far to the right for decades to come.

Instead we're being torn apart by a war that was the brainchild of the neocons, a war that they had been planning for at least a decade before we invaded. If the GOP is going to win they will do it by driving a wedge between us, one that's not of our making but one that has been planned by PNAC and the GOP. If the GOP wins we will be in Iraq forever and we will almost certainly target Iran next. If we can beat them we have at least the hope of ending the conflict in Iraq and can put an end to the Iran war before it starts. We might not get out of Iraq next year. We might not get out of Iraq for years to come. But it's virtually guaranteed that if the GOP wins then we will be there forever.

The front runner among the Democrats is not my first choice but the front runner rarely is for me. But I still vote for the Democratic nominee because for me either not voting or voting GOP is against my beliefs and what I hold dear. So I will vote for whomever wins the nomination and I will keep in mind that regardless of who they are, they are a dream candidate compared to the GOP.

1. A person's gender or race do not make them a "dream candidate". /eom

2. Depends.......

... on what race or gender you are, huh? Anyone can dream.

3. True but it does show an openess on the part of Dems

to accept anyone regardless of sex or race. The GOP has tried very hard to roll back rights for minorities. We actually try to live the part that says equal rights for all people.
