Democratic Candidates (country, dance, house, American, show)

The main three democrats are awful. I'm hoping for a Gore candidacy or at least some smart vice presidential maneuvering. Why Bill Richardson isn't getting the shot he deserves is beyond me. And if the democrats don't pick him up their completely ****ed.

If the main three you are talking about are Edwards, Clinton, and Obama, I agree. They are hypocritical corporate whores.

We should probably just accept the fact that the United States will never have a real President again. And I'm too young to even say if we ever even have.

I'd say doing that would be admitting defeat to a corrupt political system, but I just realized that I'll be doing the same thing when I vote for the whoever's the Democratic candidate in 2008 because some of the more qualified candidates have no chance of winning.

Kucinich is gaining steam as far as I can tell. I'm going to ask him to come speak at James Madison University in the fall when I write my appreciation letter to him.

TheBig3 · 05-16-2007, 10:56 PM

He will definitely come speak, but he's not gaining steam.

I cannot deal with another crappy election. Ever since Al Gore lost, it's been getting worse and worse.

TheBig3 · 05-18-2007, 12:06 AM

Well my boy, Dennis is not your answer. If you want to ensure a Republican loss, you'd best start writing to Chuck Hagel and convince that guy to run with bloomberg so they siphon off the already dwindling republican votes that Romeny was going to have to pick up.

Haha, I think it's been downhill for quite a while longer, but yeah, every single C.E. after Bill Clinton has been horrible.
Still, I think it would be good for Hilary Clinton to get elected, women need to even out in America.

Politics don't work like that.

Yes they do, most public figureheads are politicians, therefore they are seen by the populace as a representation of the times in society.

If what you're thinking is I said when Clinton is elected she'll pass a bunch of womens' rights laws, no, that's not what I meant.
I was merely saying it'd be good for her to get elected to show Americans that women are capable of filling "men's shoes": almost all American women are given salaries an average of 20% lower than their male counterparts, so it's no surprise that millions of Americans don't think women are as intelligent or efficient as men.
Some of these stereotypes would surely be changed, especially if a superpower like the United States was seen to have a woman representative.
Even though Sarcozy (sp?) won in France, there's still hope for Clinton.

I wonder if the voting rate will be higher for 2008 elections, seeing as how there is both a black candidate and a woman candidate.
