Bernie Sanders or Howard Dean<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I don’t know who should go against Obama. It should be a governor, though. They do better in Presidential races. Not Quinn from IL, though. He sucks. I don’t know the governors around the US at all, so I would have to rely on someone else putting up a ‘nomination’.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Maddow won’t, and Sanders has been an independent for too long to get serious traction with the Dems. Obama’s campaign would crucify him with that to the sheeple.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Sanders vs Palin? Jesus…<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I would like to see him challenged but who…that is a tough question because the politicians who are left of center I doubt unless there is major improvement are unelectable. H. Clinton has publicly stated that SoS is her last public office. <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

One thing i have come to learn in the past two years is that any candidate will say whatever panders best to the crowd and the ten second sound bite. Who is there to trust that you are getting what you voted for.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Take SCOTUS justice retired David Souter, man daddy bush thought he was appointing a conservative justice and we got us a true centrist. <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

The problem is that politics has become a career taught at every major university and grad school which turned it from public service to a JOB with benefits for life. And I doubt that it will ever go back to a heart of service to the nation for the people.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

It is a job where they set their own salaries and get the best of everything laid at their feet. Who will change that, what branch of government will stop the other two from selling themselves.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

No I have no answer for who but the people. The people need to start to protest again in mass numbers meet at the mall in the numbers Doctor king commanded. Meet on Wall street and demand accountability. <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

The problem though as it was way back when we had legs to march on Tom is that there will always be a radical fringe that will try to incite violent protest. <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I think and have thought for awhile that when the middle starts to go hungry then the couch will be empty and feet will be walking.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

For the moment i have no name to put forward other than the citizenry of the United States of America.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I’d like to see Bernie Sanders, Alan Grayson or Dennis Kuncinich up on the ticket. I like the idea of Rachel Maddow too. Obama has been a real shit as of late and getting shittier by the day.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

From <\/font><\/span>Kevin K.<\/strong><\/font><\/span> on <\/font><\/span>December 12, 2010 at 12:47 am<\/em><\/span><\/font>.  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I am becoming more dissatisfied with Obama’s decisions over the past several months. I think he is being a bit naive in regards to the Republican party and he should act more cautiously and more aggressively. Why would he compromise with them on this when they have showed zero interest in compromising on any Democratic initiative? <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

From <\/font><\/span>Richard F. Burger<\/strong><\/font><\/span> on <\/font><\/span>December 11, 2010 at 2:17 pm<\/em><\/span><\/font>.  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

We need a new ticket for sure, I would propose Bernie Sanders with Alan Grayson <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I wouldn’t exactly call him a weasel, but he weasel-worded to make this seem like a good deal. Well, we know better and, if we didn’t, Bernie Sanders told us exactly how. I caught about half of his marathon. <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I can’t think of any Dem candidate except Rachel Maddow for President. Bernie could be her VP.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Barack Obama. A rat bastard. A Manchurian Candidate who, because Democrats assumed he would be working for their best interests, was allowed to get away with far more obfuscation than any Republican. It may be too late–but without a primary challenge this weasel will give away what was left of FDR and LBJ’s protections of the common man.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes was a runaway winner by over three to one.  Sadly only four of us made suggestions.<\/font><\/p>\n

The new poll is a quickie, so vote fast.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
