You know, Howard Dean is playing too far to the middle for me, at least for a primary. I think I'm going to have to evaluate my "Dean rocks my pants" sentiment, and instead leave my pants-rocking for Dennis Kucinich (even if he /does/ look like an Oompa Loompa).

If I'm going to end up "lesser of two evils"-ing, I'm not going to do it in the primary. I'll pick someone as crazily progressive as I am. :)

Yeah.

Had a Google search of "Michael Moore" + "plagiarism" not turned up 1,160 results, I would possibly have a bit more respect for what he has to write.

"You see, George, it's not the lying and the doctoring of intelligence that has me all upset."

Why am I not surprised, Mike?

That said... I recognize Michael Moore is a successful entertainer, and I was duly entertained by his letter.

I just hope when the actual election comes, you don't have to vote for someone you don't want so you don't give the vote to someone else by spliting the ticket. ;-)

For those voters asking for a candidate even more off his nut than Al Sharpton, Jim Traficant is considering running from prison.

Yes, but if you vote for Kucinich in the primary, and your vote causes Dean to lose the nomination to some other stooge who loses to Bush, then what would you have helped accomplish?

Speak with your heart, but vote with your head!!

From: [identity profile] hope-persists.livejournal.com
right, but what if a large number of the people who are supporting Dean are doing so for that very reason, when they would otherwise be following their heart and voting for Kucinich.

Honestly - I think Dean's going to sweep the primary. In the MoveOn.org "primary" (which, admittedly, is not going to be accurate), Dean had over 50% of the votes - and there were a LOT of votes.

He's also campaigning hard all over the place, especially moderate states, and Dean is trying espexially hard to take Ohio.

I mean, who else is even CLOSE? Certainly not Lieberman or Kerry.

Yea, when I read about Kucinich a few months ago, I knew who I was voting for.

Interesting...I've been pretty impressed by Dean.

Details?

Even as a third-party guy I think it makes sense to make certain decisions based on a candidate's larger appeal. Not many people voted for Jello Biafra when he ran against Nader for the Green nomination in 2000.

I think it's interesting that Kucinich has the 'progessive' tag when his record on choice is so awful -- 10% rating from Planned Parenthood and a zero from NARAL. That's why I decided against him -- I can't go with someone who's going to flip-flop on such an issue that's so important to me.

That's kind of how I feel about Dean and gun policy. That's also very important to me.

And I just can't imagine that someone who really /is/ so progressive on so many issues would come out anti-choice. I don't believe that's the case.

Why is he too far in the middle...

I read through these zillion comments and nothing about what makes him too far to the middle?

What's he done to piss you off?

Personally? I plan to register all my cats and two hamsters and vote six times for Dean. :)

He hasn't pissed me off. I still think he's a decent candidate - he's just not my favorite. And it all comes down to the fact that I've been doing more research.

I don't like that Dean is favored by the NRA. And the other reasons I alluded to in the comment I wrote to [livejournal.com profile] vorpalbla.

The Columbus Kucinich meetup is on Thursday. I'm planning to go. http://kucinich2004.meetup.com

There are 29 people confirmed to attend at poor little Scottie McBean's -- don't know where they are going to put us all...
