1. I'm not certain who B is,

but, from your avatar, I believe you are saying that Kerry is A.

Do you have links for both candidates' A and B in the same format as you have posted?

Thank you.

[THUNDER HANDS]

2. well, since nobody cared much about this I'll just say who these guys were

Candidate A is Dennis Kucinich and Candidate B is Joe Lieberman.

Here's the link..

The point of this was to show that beneath the surface, ALL of our candidates are pretty much staunch Democrats.

7. Fascinating!

Thanks for that. I have been telling people that Joe Lieberman is NOT Bush-Lite. He is almost blow-for-blow a carbon of JFK on his positions.

8. Now

if only DK could catch some of that Joe-mentum

[Dark Star]

9. I extend my most humble apologies

and congratulate you on your wonderful democratic team spirit.

Please forgive me.


:yourock:





The other people who are now posting several hateful threads about Lieberman need to stop; didn't that happen before and didn't it come in large part from long-time DUers who support another candidate? I hope tonight won't be a repeat

10. I recognized B as Lieberman

but Candidate A could have been any number of our candidates but for a few of the issues.
