Gave Bush authorization to go to war with Iran.

Listed as 1 of top 12 obstructionists to Congressional investigations by Siebel Edmonds.

Supported every Bush appointee in the last 4 years.

#1 in taking Corporate Donations this campaign, and in fact DEFENDS this position as being GOOD.

Of the top 3 Den candidates -- has WORST negative ratings

Of the top 3 Dem candidates -- listed as LEAST LIKELY to defeat Republicans.

Caught in multiple, glaring, contradictions during the Dem debates.

Caught "planting" bloggers in blogs all over the internet to push pro-candidate posts way up.

Their campaign has resorted to at least three ROVIAN super-sleazeball attacks in the last week. Yet the candidate claims no involvement with these.

In reading thread after thread after thread on DU, I never see any POSITIVE discussion of this candidate's positions by the candidate's supporters -- only attacking the candidate's detractors in one form or another.

I just don't get it -- and I am really afraid for our Democracy.


Edit: changed "knowledge of sleazeball tactics to "involvement with..."
