[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [qb] That's part of what I'm talking about. It seems like the best argument for voting Democrat next election isn't because of what they advocate or stand for, but because they're Not Bush. I don't think people want to vote against things, I think they want to have something that they can get behind.[/qb][/QUOTE]I agree completely (and when have I ever said that to [i]you[/i] before?). The Demorcats (or whomever wants to seriously break away from the two party system) need to [i]inspire[/i] voters. Attacking the very worst President in out lifetimes did not win the Democrats the election, yet, they're still so busy fucking each other over to have the soundbyte of the day that they'll likely lose to whatever fucko the Republicans stick on the ballot. After all, the new Republican candidate [i]already[/i] has the one thing the Democrats consider their ace card he's [i]not[/i] Bush. [i]And[/i] he's not Hiliary Clinton (shudder). I think a viable third party would need to be comprised of (or at least be verbally embraced by) name-recognisable elected/formerly elected officials from both Democrats and Republicans. A McCain/Edwards ticket would seriously fly. [QUOTE][qb] And just so we're clear, I'm not running for president, at least not right this second. I'm more interested in finding a set of issues that a group of people like us could agree are important, so as to form a core for discussion. [/qb][/QUOTE]Just as well- you really dont want the media asking [i]us[/i] for our opinions on your political viewpoints. (pictures Tim in a tight fitting "Star Trek Lives" t-shirt being verbally attacked on FOX News, and all of our posts being discected by bloggers everywhere). On the other hand, you can appoint us all to positions within your administration in exchange for our silence...I'll take over either the CDC or EPA. Your choice. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
