I wish John Kerry were president

[madison2000]

and I wish spring would get here
and I wish the whole Bush family would move to Saudi Arabia and never be heard from again

1. Maybe we should offer them a one way pass, free.

It would be hard for them to pass up a free ride.

[Longgrain]

2. I wish John Kerry never had the chance to run...

Cause who would have gone against President Gore...:(

[JohnKleeb]

3. No one would have

primary challenges to an incumbent president are rare.

[Longgrain]

7. Yep, a lot of people say Kerry should be pres right now

When we all know it should be Gore, for what ever reason.

:-(

[madison2000]

16. Gore, Kerry, Dean, Edwards, either Clinton, Gephardt, Durbin, Feingold

I'll take any of 'em over this evil brainless turd

[JohnKleeb]

22. Agreed

[BlueManDude]

4. I've forgotton what it's like...

to wake up in morning and not have to check the news to see what atrocity the president is throwing at me.

Seriously - people like Clinton and Kerry are not perfect but Jesus it's nice when there is a rational human being in the WH.

[madison2000]

6. Exactly

to wake up and know that the country is being run by reasonably intelligent and honest people...its been years... if it ever happens again I wont take it for granted

John Kerry isn't perfect but I can't think of anything that would make me feel better about the state of the world than seeing him sworn in to office.

[BlueManDude]

9. It's very stressful...

knowing that every day in DC we are back on our heels and forced to defend even the most basic things like SS that we took for granted. Every day feels like the Alamo.

I'm pretty freaking sick of it. Seems like it's been 20 years.

[IronLionZion]

10. actually, no one is perfect

when you find the perfect politician, then s/he has found a very gullible supporter.

I wish Gore was president. If Lieberman was VP then someone more liberal could have his Senate seat.

[BlueManDude]

13. this is why I tend to lose my patience with the "Nader crowd"

I realize I'm generalizing by using the "Nader crowd" phrase but it seems there are lots of naiive liberals who would "let the perfect be the enemy of the good." I vote Democratic to prevent bad things from happening as much as I vote to make good things happen - if you get my drift.

[Left Is Write]

15. My sentiments exactly.

[Blue_In_AK]

17. Boy, I hear ya...

I am so depressed today, I can hardly stand it. How are we to deal with almost four more years of this? I'm praying for a miracle every day.

[BlueManDude]

20. If we can hold them off on SS and thru the midterms

things will ease up. Bush will start to becomea lame duck as GOP hopefuls stake out their own positions and stop moving in lockstep.

[madison2000]

21. We will have to fight every step of the way for our country

[bobthedrummer]

5. We voted that way here in Wisconsin, we did our part-fuck it.

They cheated with disenfranchisment and BBV too. Yet we Badgers voted Kerry/Edwards to a win last November.

[madison2000]

8. Probably a bigger win than the numbers show.

[WindRavenX]

11. I can't read the papers without wanting to cry

Or going berserk with rage.
I don't recall that feeling when Clinton was in the WH...

[IronLionZion]

12. both my states went for him - PA and NY

it's those crooks in Ohio and Florida...and the swift boat liars...the corporate media...and the bigoted hatred of gays...damnit. We were so close. And in 2000 we were REALLY close to having president Gore. :grr:

oh well, at least we have Chairman Howard Dean out there building up the party with grass roots organizing. We can still take our country back.

[blm]

18. Only if we expose the GOP control of both the media and voting machines.

.

[InvisibleTouch]

14. And I want a pony too....

But yeah, I'd trade the pony for a Kerry Presidency.

[madison2000]

19. Living in Madison gives one a distorted view of the world

I volunteered at the Kerry rally... I was up at the front where they were screening people all morning, and I'll never forget seeing four blocks full of people in front of the capital...80,000 people on 10/28/04

And the day of the election there were people standing on street corners and in intersections holding up Kerry Edwards signs everywhere I went...it created the false illusion that the world was about to take a turn in the right direction...

And listening to the news all night, and suddenly realizing that something had gone terribly wrong...
