The sensible liberal's quandry made easy

[Spiffor]

This was a serious question.
I think I remeber Lieberman was the name of the Democrat "leader" recently, when the Dems didn't dare utter any opposition to Bush's warmongering delirium.

Is Lieberman indeed the guy who led the molasses known as the ulf-War-2 Democrats ?

[Guynemer]

Yes, Lieberman is the most conservative of the Democratic candidates, which is why DD could imagine voting for him without contemplating suicide.

Such a shame... Dino seems so reasonable otherwise.

I have my new computer online DD... sometime we should try some Freedom Force.

If either of us can ever figure out how to run a mp game I'd be happy to.

I liked Nader best, but I belong to the "Beat Bush At All Costs" camp. With Gore, we would have had greater fiscal responsibility, I can speculate on the economy, Iraq, etc... but that doesn't do anyone any good, and would degenerate into a meaningless threadjack.

I hope Dean gets the nomination. He's being labeled as the more "leftist/liberal" candidate, but he's really not. He's very fiscally conservative... like myself But again, "ANYONE BUT BUSH" will be my mantra in 2004.

The only reason I could vote for Nader is to end the drug war, and the Prez could do that without Congress by simply issuing pardons for everyone in jail for drugs.

The only Democrat of the current contenders I could vote for and still look at myself in the mirror is Lieberman.

So the only democrat you could vote for is a republican in all but name?

I could probably vote for Dean without holding my nose. I would really like to see Al Sharpton as president personally.

If Gore had not been involved with the PMRC or had not run with Lieberman I could have held my nose and voted for Gore, but the tink was too bad. Seeing the sorts of lunatics Bush is appointing to the bench, I'm just goign to hold my nose this time. Unless it's Lieberman. I would like ot at least vote for an actual Democrat.

I hope Dean gets the nomination. He's being labeled as the more "leftist/liberal" candidate, but he's really not. He's very fiscally conservative... like myself But again, "ANYONE BUT BUSH" will be my mantra in 2004.

Dean is fairly centrist - but given the shrill conservative voices dominating the media, Dean looks liberal.

The sensible conservatives' quandry made easy:

Q: I have considered myself a rightist, but I am unhappy with the direction the GOP is taking this country. Should I consider voting for a party such as the Libertarian Party or Constitution party.

A: Sorry! As a rightist your soul is already the personal property of Karl Rove, you have no choice in this matter. Enjoy voting for Bush in 2004!

If you know how to setup a game up on gamespy (I've never done it before. I've been raised on battle.net), I'm available anytime after 2 in the afternoon on weekdays and after 5 on weekends. All of my heroes would be between 10-15k prestige points.

The closest I can come to this statement truthfully is that I'd really laugh a lot if Tracey Morgan played Al Sharpton as president on Saturday Night Live.

Re: The sensible liberal's quandry made easy

Guy,

I know what you mean. My girlfriend held her nose and voted for Nader (she hates the Greens) because he seemed a better fit for her politics than Gore. I voted Libertarian as usual. Boulder is a one party town (dems), and you should have seen the whining in the local papers from all of the self-appointed democrat whips. It got really nasty and lasted for months. Interestingly, I think that in many ways this strategy of trying to shame former dems who voted for Nader is backfiring. It's made a lot of liberal dems feel like they just don't belong in the dem party, and honestly they are probably right. Personally I'd like to see both major parties taken down a notch or seventeen.

What about Wesley Clark?
Seems he might throw his hat in the ring...

Bump

I probably won't be available for FF until a week from today, but I'm all for it.
