No Democrat can win in 2008

[denem]

Hillary Clinton: negatives, baggage
Barak Obama: green, black
John Edwards: public money, flip flops
Graham Richarson: uninspiring, VP choice
Joe Biden: no money, second tier
Chris Dodd: cranky, unknown
Dennis Kucinich: unelectable, period.

That's the consensus view, setting aside the obvious shilling.
So let's set aside our differences and welcome our next Republican Overlord.

1. Oh please

Against the strange little toads the republicans have running this time around? Grampa Fred, Rudy, Plastic Mitt, the Huckster and Get-off-my-lawm McCain? I'm not worried.

[denem]

4. John Kennedy could not win the Presidency because he was Catholic

You're an optimist.

[LeftCoast]

5. I prefer to think of myself as a realist

[denem]

8. I like the words, 'Make it so'.

[Bucky]

23. I think you missed the point.

But don't worry. Sarcasm just isn't for everyone.

[DissentIsPatriotic]

2. thanks for the early morning optimism. n/t

[Clark2008]

3. I know you're being flippant, but, sadly, this list is why

I'm having such a difficult time getting excited about 2008. As much as I don't want a Republican Overlord, as you put it, the fact that this list can even be produced in jest concerns me. When one figures the Republicans have the media and the voting machines, deficits such as these DO matter.

Again, I know you were trying to make the point that all candidates have pros and cons and we should unite once a nominee is decided, but I do worry about many of those very things (along with the fact that HRC voted for the war and Edwards is untrustworthy and Obama seems a lesser corporatist).

6. First of all, I contest the meme that the repukes will

have the MSM. They didn't in 2006. Yes they'll try and cheat, but the odds against them getting away with it are smaller than 2006. The dems have an excellent chance next year.

[denem]

13. 2007: The Democrats have raised a lot more more money than the Republicans

for the first time in living memory.

[denem]

7. Change means working hard for it.

That's one thing Hillary was right about. The powers that be like things fine the way they are.

9. No republican can win.

Romney - empty shell "tax cuts! tax cuts, tax cuts!" ohhhhhh we've seen where thats got us.
Huckabee- nuts
Mccain- nuts
Giuliani- nuttier than mccain
Thomspon- he's still not sure he is running
Paul- Anti war but nuts on everything else
Keyes- see giuliani

And, no way any of them gained any minority votes recently lol

Too, the fundie righties will only come out and vote for huckabee.

[denem]

11. There's a whole universe of Republican negatives

if you look for them

[Maggie_May]

10. Oh yes we can

Its not even a question its not the Democrats or a Republican votes it is the Independents. The Independents are leaning total Democrat!! Of course we have to pull our base voters but thats no problem we don't have any Independent candidate to pull votes away this time. We will win 2008!

[deacon]

12. The GOP candidates have lost any hispanic vote, and the fundie right will sit out. n/t

[denem]

14. What about Huckabee?

An immigrant friendly record.

[Maggie_May]

15. Oh yeah please let it be Huckbee!

We will eat him up alive!!! OH PLEASE let be.

[denem]

17. I'm rooting for Alan Keyes

the acceptable face Republicanism.

[deacon]

16. The damage is already done. The general consensus of him just being in the GOP

with flush him. Also, these bums wouldn't even show up for the Black Caucus debates, twice.

The GOP is not minority friendly.

[Perry Logan]

18. For some reason, Democrats love to predict disaster for themselves. It's a loser mentality.

[denem]

19. A sharp list of why the Republicans can't win would be more telling.

[Maggie_May]

22. Don't have to make a list

just have to look at the 8 years they have been in office. 2008 is going to be the economy which if you been watching is going down the toilet fast. Jobs lost higher food and energy cost higher health care people losing their homes should I go on? By the time we are deep into the election it will be so bad people will be wanting and praying for a change. All in good timing it will not be the war it will be the economy it will not stay above water much longer.

[Liberals Rule]

20. NO Can Do!

The Democrats have the best shot in years of regaining everything! Thanks to this administration who has set the Republican party back about 50 years. I think anyone..Lib or conservative has to realize that another neocon in office will spell the end to our Democracy as we know it.
So..Barring Bush from declaring martial law in November or before..I think we will see a Dem in the White House very soon.

[denem]

21. Tell me where my points are wrong

[still_one]

25. I will tell you where you points are wrong, look at the republicans that are running

[still_one]

24. Oh great wise one, and what is the reason that makes the repugs so electable?

I am really tired of defeatist bullshit.

[rodeodance]

26. give it a break, i am proud of our candidates

[Maggie_May]

28. I am with you

I am very proud of everyone of them. The problem I have is who to leave cleaning up 8 years of the republicans mess.

[Bucky]

27. Lamprey, I'm with ya

And unlike virtually everyone else in this thread, I understand the point you're making.

But I'm an optimist. I'll bet that after everyone's had a cup of coffee, they'll realize your point is how stupid and superficial these criticisms are, not how viable they are.

[denem]

29. Yeah - tell ne the last time we had a perfect candidate. nt.

[Bucky]

30. 1956

According to my dad, he was perfect.

[0007]

31. ROTFLMAO!! You've been consulting your Nostradamus book again I see!

I don't know which is worse. Looking at you or listening to your silly BS.

[Czolgosz]

32. Dodd's not cranky ...

[Vinca]

33. A Democrat will win as long as the votes are actually counted. nt

[Maggie_May]

34. Its going to be such a killing they won't beable to cheat

[snowbear]

35. Who in the hell is "Graham Richarson" ??

And why is it Lamprey, that every single time you post --- it is ALWAYS to diss Democrats?

If you don't care for the Democratic Party, why even bother coming here?

Oh. And there is no "Graham" running.

And while I'm at it.. Richardson has a "D" in it.

Dip.

[BootinUp]

36. You might be right

but its the battle that sharpens us to be deadlier the next time.

[calteacherguy]

37. You don't seriously beleive that BS, do you? nt

[snowbear]

38. He and "Graham Richarson" believe it completely... LOL!

[CreekDog]

39. is it that time of day already?

seems like there's one of these posts right on schedule.

this one, however, seems to be tinged with irony and mocking of the consensus, bless its little heart.
