Are you prepared to vote......

[Crewleader]

for the candidate who wins the democratic nomination to successfully boot Bush?

Only then will Democratic Underground Be United In 2004,
so in the meantime support your candidates and remember this,
who you disagree with now
will be your partner later in our quest to the white house. :-)

[LiberalVoice]

1. well said

[genius]

2. Anyone but Dean

That's where I draw the line.

[HFishbine]

24. That's not a line

That's a fabricated circle.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. I will support the nomminee. Please Read:

President Clark
President Kerry
President Dean
President Kucinich
President Sharpton
President Braun
President Edwards
President Gephardt
President Lieberman :eyes:

.....will all be better Presidents than the current occupant of the White House.

I will FULLY support whoever the nomminee is!

[damnraddem]

14. Leiberman is Bush-Lite.

President Lie-berman would be worse than Dubya -- representing the total degredation of the Democratic Party. For me, this would represent a Green future.

[stevedeshazer]

31. I take it that's a "no", then?

[Mattforclark]

18. right on

[JoePizz]

4. I will vote for anyone other than Bush

I could probably name a few mass murdering psychopaths I would rather vote for than Bush.

I firmly beleive in the benefit of "lesser evil" voting. While I would prefer a candidate whom I whole heartedly support, I figure if enough people vote with the lesser evil, the extreme right would have to start running better candidates to compete. The democrats would have to reciprocate with an even better candidate. Eventually, all this crap we have now is left behind as a distant painfull memory as the republicans run candidates more like Eisenhower the Moderate rather than Bush Der Furher, and the democrats run people more like Rosevelt The Liberal rather than Cliton the Slightly Left of Center.

[damnraddem]

15. Mass murdering psychopaths? Well, OK.

But not Leiberman.

[poskonig]

5. I've warmed up to ABB.

Even Dweeberman. I suspect everyone else will too, once we have a nominee.

[Crewleader]

6. I am prepared to vote for whoever wins

the nomination because I do not want Bush another four! This country is in trouble as it is.Another four years with Bush will have an attitude "does it matter", I'll do what I want. So far he's pulled that off his first three years with a republican congress and senate. I don't even want to imagine how hard it would be for working families with children to care for and raise to have even a decent life. The middle class now is getting squeezed to lower levels and living paycheck to paycheck, those lucky enough to have a decent job.

I've been ask to go to the Democratic Convention held this weekend in Orlando.I was asked to be delegate for a few candidates but unfortunately I'm not well enough but you can bet I'll do all I can to see the nominated candidate win! I hope all of you will too!

[IrateCitizen]

7. Democratic Underground united in 2004???

Now THAT's a pipe dream. This place will NEVER be united. It's an online, anonymous discussion group.

That being said, I'm currently in the "Anyone but Lieberman" camp. That will change to the "Anyone but Bush" camp after the convention.

[Crewleader]

10. Yes we are, a online Left discussion group

for a goal to boot Bush...been here since the start of DU and it takes all of us to help inform, discuss and organize to see that Dream come true!

Keep Hope Alive Friend and Anyone But Bush is a great start! :-)

[Liberal Veteran]

8. I swore I wouldn't do this, but....

I solemnly swear upon all that I hold sacred that no matter who gets the democratic nomination I will vote for him or her even if I have to hold my nose and avert my eyes and shower in muriatic acid to get the stench off me afterwards if turns out to be Lieberman.

Will that suffice?

[Crewleader]

12. That's the determination liberal_veteran that is needed!

Thanks friend! :-)

[Walt Starr]

9. Yup

There's a few in there I'd have to hold my nose and bring a puke bucket for, but they'd still get my vote.

Edited to add:

I do hold out one exception to this. Should polling indicate that the Democratic candidate is getting support similar to a third party candidate and a third party candidate look like they have the very best possiblity of defeating Dumbass*, I will vote for the candidate with the best chance of defeating Dumbass*.

I know, I know, but nothing is impossible, incredibly improbable yes, but not impossible.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. Anyone but the infamous 4

Lieberman, Kerry, Gephardt or Edwards get it and it's Green for me.

[damnraddem]

13. And one may be a running mate.

But if Leiberman is the candidate, forget it.

[Lisa0825]

16. Anyone But Bush... even if it's *gag* Lieberman...

But I don't think I could campaign for Lieberman. I would campaign for ANY of the other candidates, after the nom.

[Crewleader]

17. To All DUers

this thread was a disappointment to see it went past the first page.....to those of you that answered ...

Thank You for your honesty...and the reults of this is with another question are you all prepared to have Bush for 2004 because more of a chance for that then not.

[Desertrose]

21. Hi Crew....

I am not ready to give up on my candidate nor should any of us give up yet...but yes, we will at some point,all have to come together and vote Dem.
I hate the idea of lesser of two evils cause you still end up with evil either way.
I will continue to support the candidate I feel is head and shoulders above the rest of the pack until things are decided.....

I'll vote Kucinich...and hope I get the chance to do so again in Nov 04.
So peaceout everyone

:hug: Crew:loveya:


DR

edit for dingdang typos

[Fridays Child]

19. Argue but argue gently and with respect.

Thank you, Crew, for a wise reminder to all of us.

:hug:

[RebelOne]

20. As already been repeated here, I'll vote for ABB

[rucky]

22. ABB affirmation thread

Larouche or Bust!

kidding...

here's your daily ABB affirmation:

The Dems are good enough, smart enough, and goshdarnit, people like -er - most of 'em.

[KittyWampus]

23. Yes, But Please Don't Tell Anyone I Said That

I don't want to tip my hand and say ABB.

Let the candidates keep guessing and working to DESERVE my support.

Now DU'ers have earned my respect, admiration and (when money is available) my support no questions asked! :)

[GreenPartyVoter]

25. I am ready and willing

to take Bu$h down.

But I REALLY want the candidate to be someone who will go in and unravel every sneaky thing he's done since his coup. And I want lots of pics of Bu$h crying his eyes out over it. *lol*

[newyawker99]

26. ABB for me!

:kick:

[Crewleader]

27. Thanks friends.....

It's good to see the responses...:hi:

[Killarney]

28. Definitely!

I will support whoever the Democratic party chooses and nothing could keep me from voting against Bush that day.

I have to admit, it will be nice after the primaries when we can all focus on beating Bush. :)

[GreenPartyVoter]

39. Yeah

Definitely need to get the focus back on Bu$h.

Let's hope he finds some good ways to shoot himself in the foot, like say, more staged photo ops and blown lies, like the one about AF1. *l*

[absolutezero]

29. I'll vote for a steaming pile of

crap, rotting in the sun....

satan, chluthu, an actual bush, that nasty doberman down the street...even lieberman....Anybody But Bush

[Booberdawg]

30. I'll vote for the Democratic candidate no matter who it is. PERIOD

[stevedeshazer]

32. Dang right!

:-)

[Forkboy]

33. Crew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:hi:

[Crewleader]

34. Forkboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good To See You Friend and The Others! :hi:

[Liberal_Dog]

35. Absolutely

Getting rid of Bu$h is the most important thing. Any Dem would be better.

[Crewleader]

36. I agree 100 % getting rid of Bush is #1 for all of Us!

I posted on a thread about the draft and spoke of my support for General Clark. I heard him again tonight on CSPAN and he says everything I want to hear so he speaks to me and my family and he has our support in the primary.

But I am prepared to vote for whoever gets nominated because there are fine Democrats running but I just feel General Clark as a real chance on winning and beating Bush with his experience and leadership!

May the best candidate win and we become very united for our cause!

[Kathleen04]

37. ABB!

[election_2004]

38. ABL = Anybody but Lieberman

Although I will definitely vote for any of the other eight, when push comes to shove.

But I draw the line at supporting Willie Tanner. Putting Lieberman in the White House next year will most likely result in a Bill Frist presidency in 2008.

[Patriot_Spear]

40. Yes.

...but I'd like it to be Dean! (...and I think he'll get it too.)

[David__77]

41. Lieberman would be highly problematic for me...

I do not wish to see Lieberman become president. I would have to assess things later on if he wins the nomination. I don't think he will. He has said some positive things and is better than Bush on most issues out of conviction or political expediency. I'm not interested in Lieberman's personal views, which are not progressive, but rather how he would act in office. I think it would be an improvement domestically, but not necessarily on the global stage.
