"Voters are stupid, brainless cows - they need to be led around by the nose."

All the television watching "cows" are swayed by what they see and are told by television....

(Watch all the cows come moooing with their uninformed post, they heard on television)!

If Obama was completely ignored by the republican corporate media just as the corporate media has purposely done to Edwards...Obama wouldn't of been more than a passing thought....But the cows amazingly believe they are making up their own minds.

The republicans needed another moderate to battle the moderate Hillary, in the media as well as for the democratic nomination and the republicans certainly didn't want it to be between progressive John Edwards and moderate Hillary.

So the republicans will get what they want two moderates, one a woman, and one African American, it'll make it much easier for the republicans, in this sexist, racist cow grazing country of ours, much easier than if progressive Edwards was the Dem nominee running, as ALL polls have shown Edwards winning against any of the republican corporate fascist candidate & their agenda, policies and ideology. It's all working just the way the republican would of hoped in their wildest dreams just as it was drawn up..

As a FDR liberal I can't stomach voting for another John Kerry moderate....Fuck the democratic party moderate bullshit that has left many of us....They are only offering us Reagan & Bush praising DLC corporate moderates as our choices.

The cows will be happy with their moderate candidate just as they are with the status quo!

Come on cows start your Moooooooooooooooing!

1. Wow, way to insult cows.

Cows are way smarter than most voters.

[gateley]

2. You're right -- the media shaped this race, choosing those who would bring

in the most viewers/advertising dollars.

[Fresh_Start]

3. thats unnecessary.

I'm an Edwards supporter.
You gain nothing by condemning the other candidates supporters

blame the corporate media but don't be surprised, Edwards is clearly not on the side of corporation

4. Confused.

6. Anybody who thinks that ANY of the candidates are looking out for them are cows.

[MedleyMisty]

7. From all that I've learned about humans in the last few years

I'd say that cows are far more intelligent and independently minded than we are.

[dorkulon]

8. So we should support Edwards because he's a white man?

Mighty progressive of you.

[Liz7]

10. the OP didn't say that

Just that unfortunately some won't vote for Obama or Hillary because they're not ready for a black or female president. Facts, not bias, on the part of the OP.

[dorkulon]

12. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

I'm not saying the OP is necessarily racist, just that his given reason to vote Edwards is indeed his white maleness. I understand the reasoning, but I'm not so willing to give in to the bigotry of people who are unlikely to vote for any Democrat anyhow.

[Hutzpa]

9. Who said John Edwards is progressive?

you're not saying that based on his voting records are you?

because I don't see him as progressive.

:shrug:

11. Sickeningly arrogant.

You fall right into the liberal stereotype that Republicans will use to win the election. Good job! :)

[originalpckelly]

13. It's odd that this goes on and on about cows, after all it's complete bullshit.

:P

14. Insulting those who do not agree (a majority of Democrats) may not be the best strategy

But keep it up if you like. You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie.

15. Our two party system seems to be designed to put centrists in office

except for Bush, of course, who ran as a centrist in 2000 but who governed like an off-the-charts right wing extremist. I wish it were possible to just try, not permanently implement but just try a parliamentary system say for a dozen years or so. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work and then we could go back to the old system. In our two party system, compromises must be reached before the general election and the result is usually a middle-of-the-road candidate. In a parliamentary system, many parties can participate, center, left, right, and the extremes and get to have some representatives in parliament who then have a direct conduit to the people. By having many parties gain legitimacy by having representatives elected, you would see fewer clowns in the media totally disparaging moderate mainstream viewpoints like Edwards' (and to me he's still a moderate although slightly left of the others). In a parliamentary system, compromise is reached by forming coalitions after the general election and voices that go unheard in our current system can get heard.

16. I'd like to see a two party system for starters...

The idea that Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner are mortal political enemies is so absurd that you'd have to be on serious opiates to believe it. The rigged game we have now features a single party that should be called the Business Party. It has two factions called Democrats and Republicans which, with a very few notable exceptions, work ceaselessly for the benefit of their corporate "contributors" and to the constant detriment of anyone outside the hedge fund and political donor classes. So a second party would be nice for a change.

Then we could work our way up to maybe a dozen or so parties -- one for the religiously insane, another for fans of pro wrestling, one for ACLU supporters, another for degenerate gamblers, one for people who think they're possessed by demons, and so on.

Can you imagine a real debate in which opinion on health care ranges from single-payer, universal-access to the for-profit, corporate-controlled scam we now have? One not controlled by some half-wit news reader who asks Kucinich about his UFO experience or spends an hour trying to determine who's the biggest jesus freak.

The abominable US media would try to keep things on the usual vegetative level, but that many out-of-control candidates, all with completely different agendas, would take control away from the idiot Russerts of the world and return it to the candidates themselves. Well, you can dream...

Proportional representation is the only way I can think of to select a Congress that actually represents a cross-section of American political thought (if that's not an oxymoron). Instant run-offs would be the answer to voting for the lesser of two evils. And a coalition government would force the executive branch to either work with all points of the political compass or simply say fuck it, dissolve Congress and declare a dictatorship. In other words, adopt the BushCo method of governance.

18. There was a post about 2 years ago that Cracked-me-up.

It went something like:

Yeah, Tom Delay and his "Pig-Fucking" Constituency.

[pampango]

19. "So the republicans will get what they want two moderates, one a woman, and one African American"

If the republicans engineered this whole thing, I have to give them some credit for finding a female and a black male moderates to fill the roles. They could have just gone with a white male democratic moderate. ;)

20. Maybe you should vote McCain then....LOL
