Leave Sharpton alone. He's the big winner among the candidates. Despite the odd gaffe, he's raised his profile immensely, has come across as an amusing, thoughtful and humane individual, and has positioned himself to replace Jesse Jackson as America's number one black politician.

Two words: Tawana Brawley

I like Edwards and Kucinich the most, but only Dean and Kerry will have the $$$ to beat Shrubbie's war chest.

The problem is is if the party stays Clintonian (toward the center) the far lefties will vote green.

With the possible exception of Thomas Jefferson and Eugene Debs, Dennis Kucinich has the rare distiction being of the only politican in American history actually worth voting for.

Too bad he's also (quietly) anti-choice

Eh?

On what do you base this assertion? 'Ziggy Stardust' abandoned his prolife views when he started his presidential campaign.

Yeah, he left them in his other jacket.

And he's still coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs.

Now we KNOW you are a wacko.

This is so surreal.

He's not a prolifer to prolifers because he changed his mind so suddenly, and to prochoicers, he's suspicious because of his long voting record as a prolifer.

Gotta give his campaign manager credit for his sudden flip.

So people's earlier mistakes should be visited on them eternally. Sharpton may have been wrong about that, but there is no excuse for the way black people are treated in America and ignoring that context (as the right tend to do) is criminal.

Considering he accused everyone under the sun of raping Brawley, including a local prosecutor, even while the case was falling apart, doesn't speak volumes for the man. The media has been incredibly forgiving of this "mistake", considering how scrutinous they've been of Dean and the others.

Add to that other racial demagoguery, and I'd say the guy has about as much presidential mettle as my sphincter.

I'm still a little upset about Sharpton accusing me of raping Tawana Brawley. That really ruined my childhood...

Ogie Oglethorpe · January 19, 2004, 11:45

Any word on the release of a People article which details Dean's medical history of panic attacks?

DarkCloud · January 19, 2004, 13:34

Ogie- I hate dean just as much as the other person, but does that really matter

America has a president who choked on a pretzel for heavenssake.

and a VP who has probably been ressurected 9 times

Ogie Oglethorpe · January 19, 2004, 13:38

Don't know if it matters or not that is for populace to decide. Me I'ld prefer to have a President in charge of his emotions and capable of handling pressure.

As to your point on Cheney, well made. The pretzel thing tho' come on.
