You have no choice - you will vote for who we tell you to vote for !
Edited on Sun Dec-17-06 02:02 PM by kentuck
That seems to be the message I hear from much of the M$M nowadays. Right now, you will have the choice of voting for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or John McCain. Don't even think of voting for anyone else.

Considering that neither Hillary or Obama have announced that they are running, it doesn't seem like much of a choice. This is not meant to demean the candidacies of any of the above, but my suspicious nature leads me to ask, "Why"?

Do they know something we don't know? Do they have a plan for "divided" government? Will their prince of today turn into a frog tomorrow? Or are they simply blowing smokes out of their buttholes?

5. The media counts a bankroll as the most important
quality in a candidate. they will only speak of those with access to ca$h as worthy of being president.

6. The Democratic Party had best realize
Edited on Sun Dec-17-06 03:22 PM by OHdem10
the most important characteristic for a candidate in
2008 is going to be--Will this person be a good and
qualified Commander in Chief??

The table is being set for MCCain to make a clear
run to the WH.

It makes no difference whom I wish to see as candidate .
IMO on the Democratic Side perhaps Gore could give
the Republicans a run for their money.

Commander IN Chief. Even if we are out of Iraq( and I
question that) the war continues in Afganistan and
elsewhere around the globe.

Some Pundits have been brave enough to say Dems better
consider Commander In Chief.

7. That's exactly the way I feel...they just push who they want to push.
Notice they're not pushing Kucinich.
