well I certainly wouldn't want that sellout Liberman, he voted with Bush Most of the time, Obama is good and Edwards is good, They could be in either order. As far as Republicans, I could care less as they're mostly all for the corporations and against the little guy, so it doesn't matter. If republicans get in it's bad for the working class, and that is what I was! If the republican ever pulled their heads out of corporations asses, I might consider voting for one, but it looks more likely to have a freeze in hell before that happens!Democrats - Liberman & Obama
Rebuplicans - McCain & JC Watts

Might as well as they'll probably be outsourcing your job soon! You wouldn't want to try and pick the lessor of the two evils would you?

You obviously speak out of ignorance and are forgiven.... Liberman followed the Democratic party and has voted with them on more than 90% of the issues but as soon as he steps aside from the liberal base on an issue, Dems have a hissy fit and boot him to the curb.....
Do you think that Dems are high and mighty and don't have their hands in the corporate cookie jar? Who was that guy who had 90G's in his freezer again?
I am not bashing Dems don't get me wrong, the R's have plenty of idiot-morons in their party as do Democrats.
We need people who are going to stand up for this country and who aren't going to be walking on pins and needles about who we upset or offend and do what's right for the people who put them in office.....Democrat or Republican I don't care as long as they do the job.

Well, you're talking about a statesman here, and rightly so. The problem is, the system is rigged against principled people surviving in the political process known as Washington D.C. Statesmen DO exist within the system alright. Its just that they are seldom heard from.

I guess you think voting with george bush on the most expensive and mutilating war since Viet Nam is OK. I hold every one of those democrats whom voted with bush responsible for this debacle, including that worm Joe Liberman!

So, you would throw out one of your own who is standing on pronciple? One who has voted 90% of the time for the creation of the utopian welfare state? What type of representative would satisfy you, Med? I suspect Marx and Lenin would be more to your liking, no?

Dems -> Obama, Edwards (NO to Hilary, NO to Lieberman)
Reps -> Ron Paul
Ind -> Kinky Friedman (One can dream)
I never liked Lieberman.
All you've got to do is watch the little worm for 20 seconds and you frikin hate him. He whines instead of talking to begin with and his principles were shown in the last election. The only thing he's for is Joe frikin Leiberman! BTW good choice on the Dems>

Ron Paul is a Republican from Texas, he ran as a libertarian back in the 1980's against Reagan.
What I do not see is why we end up with only two parties. Look at Israel, they have 5 main parties and since the Knesset is so fractioned they are forced to co-operate with each other and they do get things done.
They don't pull any partisan bullshit.

The reason we only see two parties is because the system is rigged. Of course we have a multitude of parties, but the "third" parties don't get the coverage in the media. Not only do they not get media coverage, but the committee doing the selecting of the candidates who will appear in the debates is run by the Democrats and the Republicans. The only third party candidate to appear in the debates in my lifetime was Ross Perot. The reason Perot was in the debates was because he was running about 20% favorable in the polls. To deny Perot a spot in the debates would have made the rigged scheme way to obvious.
