As the primaries become more frenzied, the novelty acts, vanity characters and anti-warrior puss have been properly dealt with in Iowa. Now we'll see how serious the Democrats are in choosing a strong candidate to oust President Bush from office:

Howard Dean has turned himself into a one-man circus. His caravan of laughter should be hitting a town near you.

John Kerry is long on face and short on ideas. Strangely, he refuses to leave Xanadu for the greener pastures of reality.

John Edwards mistakenly thinks that he's a re-incarnation of Bill Clinton. Furthermore, the electoral numerologists have him entering the Second stage with a fatuous belief that America wants a trial lawyer for President, despite his southern accent.

Joseph Lieberman is in the wrong primary.

Wesley Clark is too good to be true. An anti-war Four-star former Republican General who promises a new Bretton Wood, tax cuts, and improvement in health care? Isn't a man who voted for Ronald Reagan but now embraces Michael Moore a cynical opportunist? That is the question Democrats should be asking themselves. Hasn't this Rhodes Scholar realized that the only reason why the Clintons have dispatched their foot soldiers to assist him is because they know he's unwinnable?

Al Sharpton seems to be an excellent debater, perhaps the best in the Primaries. Too bad his political baggage relegates him to being an entertainer.

Dennis Kuicinich belongs on the other side of the Pond.

Does the headline "Dewey Wins!" mean anything to you? How about the quotes, "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings." and finally, "Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated."

I agree that none of them will win but I do look forward to the debates between thge Dub and the Democrat Nominee just to hear the Dub try to explain about the Missing WMDs in Iraq that was his basis for attacking Iraq!

I look forward to the war cowards explaining why they voted with Bush.

The class warfare practiced by the Republicans continues to widen the gap between the rich and poor and will continue to do so as long as Republicans are in control. Wealth controls the process right down to what people believe, but one thing you can't hypnotize is people's stomachs. Things will turn around, if need be violently. It's only a matter of time and how deep and long the 'I me me mine' crowd sleeps. We create what we fear.

You do realize the reason Bush isn't a lawyer is because he was unqualified for UT-Austin?

How would you expect that things would turn around violently. Besides people like you can not tolerate such a concept.

Even in the depression of the 20's there was no mass violence.

I do not think that the American people will cause or tolerate a revolution caused by the let them eat cake scenario.

Eaglekeeper: "Even in the depression of the 20's there was no mass violence." Wrong O. Of course it was the government perpetrating the violence. Many WW I veterans went to Washington DC to camp. This is where Dwight Eisenhower got his start, breaking the demonstration. Many veterans were killed. I don't know what you mean by "mass violence" but there is a long and honorable tradition of killing labor organizers in the U.S.

EDITED: Whoops, I made a slight mistake. You're talking about the '20s. Of course the depression didn't start until the 30's. The veteran's action was in the 30s.

No Genesys, it's the Republicans who are practicing Class War. You have to understand the nature of the mind. People always accuse the other person of doing what they do themselves. The reason the Republicans have spent billions telling us it's the Democrats is because that's part of their war. You have to deflect the facts to better screw the poor and the middle class. The evidence is in the continued growing divide. But enjoy your delusions.

The gap continues to widen. Must be the Democrats.

Wrong decade - my fault. 30's was the depression.

I agree that the vets marched on DC because promises made were not kept.
I am looking at the reverse angle. The vets tried peaceful, it was the gov the reacted violently.

Labor unions were attacked by management bought thugs.
Again, am am looking for the reverse angle.

My point is that I do not think the population in general will revolt with violence in a class warfare as what has happend in Europe

I do understand the nature of the mind. I am able to say the democrats perpetuate racism by allowing affirmative action to stay in place. not only does that perpetuate racism, but it also perpetuates sexism. not only that, but everytime a democrat cant get a ruling in their favor or a bill passed that benefits them, they think its race related and they start off down the war path garnering support from the ACLU and the NAACP, and various other wacko leftist activist groups.

i dont personally know any republicans who make race an issue at anytime during the noraml course of an argument, but everytime i argue with a democrat, its racism, discrimination, and sexism that become a staple of their argument. you can only cry wolf so many times before the villiage stops listening.
