Reply #152: Voted for Feingold in the Poll, I am much more alligned with him,

but Clark has a better chance of collecting votes from middle America. Middle America (dumbasses) don't vote issues, they vote for the best TV SpokesModel.
While both are charismatic, Clark is prettier.

Because I am a Centrist,
in the Primaries, I will be heavily supporting the Anti-War, Anti-Free Trade, Pro-LABOR, pro-cut Defense Spending, Pro Civil Liberties, Universal HealthCare, Restrictions on Corporations, pro-Environment candidate ALL the way to the convention.

This IS the American Center:
In recent polls by the Pew Research Group, the Opinion Research Corporation, the Wall Street Journal, and CBS News, the American majority has made clear how it feels. Look at how the majority feels about some of the issues that you'd think would be gospel to a REAL Democratic party:

1. 65 percent say the government should guarantee health insurance for everyone -- even if it means raising taxes.

2. 86 percent favor raising the minimum wage (including 79 percent of selfdescribed "social conservatives").

3. 60 percent favor repealing either all of Bush's tax cuts or at least those cuts that went to the rich.

4. 66 percent would reduce the deficit not by cutting domestic spending but by reducing Pentagon spending or raising taxes.

5. 77 percent believe the country should do "whatever it takes" to protect the environment.

6. 87 percent think big oil corporations are gouging consumers, and 80 percent (including 76 percent of Republicans) would support a windfall profits tax on the oil giants if the revenues went for more research on alternative fuels.

7. 69 percent agree that corporate offshoring of jobs is bad for the U.S. economy (78 percent of "disaffected" voters think this), and only 22% believe offshoring is good because "it keeps costs down."

The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.
