my President will put the interests of the people ahead of corporate interests.

[Avalux]

So who, if elected, would actually go up against the oil companies, big pharma cos. etc. and start putting policies in place that protect OUR rights instead of theirs? Who has the guts and courage to do this?

Kucinich doesn't count.

[robinlynne]

1. kucinich and or Edwards.

[acmavm]

2. Yeppers.

[robinlynne]

3. and he's not my candidate, but can I have a round of applause for Dodd trying to

save an entire constituional ammendment all by himself?

[Avalux]

4. Yeah, good on Dodd.

I admire him for that. Too bad he gets no press. :hi:

[havocmom]

5. Probably not the one getting loads of $ from underpaid dishwashers?

6. You dismiss Kucinich like the media does and I dismiss your thread. n/t

[Avalux]

9. I didn't dismiss him; he's the obvious choice.

I didn't want a thread of Kucinichs; of course he would stand up for the people.

[LWolf]

7. Sure he does.

Otherwise, your answer is "none of them."

[Avalux]

10. Thank you for answering my question.

;-)

[LWolf]

11. You are welcome, of course! n/t

13. If Kucinich doesn't count, then nobody. (nm)

14. Kucinich does count and does get my vote

15. No one in this century

The "electable" ones need the payola from the money-grubbers, so they can hand it over to the TVguys for ads.

Then they must re-pay the favors to the money-grubbers, so they can get more for the next election.

Until we have a truly "public-financed" system, we will NEVER get a populist administration.

Unfortunately for us, the ones who would have to vote to make the change, are the same ones who like it the way it is:(

[Trillo]

18. Sad, isn't it.

I'd be all in support of a 'zero tolerance' law against private election financing.

Give a private donation, go to jail.
Receive a private donation, go to jail.
Only allow public financing of campaigns and elections.

Not sure about the "soft money" given to political parties, though. It seems like that can and likely is abused as well.

16. Only Kooch

Edwards just pays lip service but didn't do jack when he was in the Senate.

[rjones2818]

17. Mike might,

and the rest, other than Dennis, won't.

Go Dennis! :woohoo:
