If you had a choice, who would you want as your President right now?

anyone but Bush. Give me a monkey with a top hat i'll vote for him over Bush.
Anytime I watch Kerry's speeches, I always say "You had me at hello."

Don't care who anymore. It's gotten that bad.

:cry:

n/t

and has been since 1/20/01. The imposter in the WH is an unelected fraud.

Nobody was THIS angry in 2000 because the circumstances did not warrant such outrage.

right on thru until he has actually served 8 years and probably after that.

Or Howard Dean.

but with the choices you gave, Gore is my #1 choice by far

obviously my choice isn't included in yours...


shame,

Best president of my lifetime

I believe President Clinton was the best President this country has had in years ! However in this poll I voted for Gore ,cause I believe frist of all he actually won in 2000 and deserves to be President. Also I think Clinton did a wonderful job as President for eight years ,the whole time having to put up with the right wings B/S & constant verbal abuse of him ,while he was putting in 12+ hour days ! Opposed to there guy (bush) how has been on vacation more then at work ! The reality is that bush is such a terrible president ,that anyone would be a improvement ! If the American people actually vote the squatter into office,I will be completly dumbfounded, this is the worst of the worst, and even repugs (the ones with brains) realize how terrible of a President he is ,and if they truely love their country ,they will vote Dem this time to rid us once and for all of the bushes and their corrupt gang of thieves !

If the question was who do I want just for the minute it would be Wes Clark of course. If by it you meant which man most represents the model I would like for a President it would be Bill Clinton. But I chose Al Gore, because he is the man who is supposed to be President right now and I owe it to him at least to support that he is my choice already made.

hands down. Kennedy is the only other I would consider. If I could choose anyone, it wouldn't be a professional politician.

He's tanned, he's rested, he's ready!

A corrupt man for corrupt times.

He's cool (room temperature, in fact). He's calm (doesn't go "over the top" like Al Gore or Howard Dean). And he's composed. Wait, that should be "decomposed."

That broad don't take nothin from nobody. To paraphrase an ad for that annoying Repub twit Carole Keeton McClellan Strayhorn whatever-her-name-is-this-week,

"She's one tough ole grandma." She'd whip these asshats into shape.

Gore has the experience in the White House. Dean has the enthusiasm of the Democratic base.

:7

but from that list? Gore.

Of course Gore/Clinton would be just too rich for words. Can you imagine the yowling at FReeperville?

Martin Luther King Junior

We all told you so....

And, by the way, why the hell wasn't HIS name included? He's still running, you know (well, sort of. He hasn't given up.)

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

A few of us old fellows are lurking around here. Our "ghosts", if you will.

Myself
Ben Franklin
John Locke

a few others

Come in to the "Red Dragon Inn" of the Internet for a flagon of :beer:

Put your feet up on the furniture, if you like. :evilgrin:

Damn, I wish he was running this time!

Al, al...

How could you let them do this to you...to US???

Al, even in the phony, rigged, Freeped polls, you'd be leading 54-43!

Damn it Al, WHY DID YOU DO IT???

The how would not be pretty, but it would be something that could and just might happen! Clear evidence of another election coup like we had in 2000 could touch off some very shocking things! If ther was ever a time to be on your toes now is the time! The civil war everyone is talking about in Iraq might happen on the block! Has the country been anymore divided than it is today since the last civil war? National insecurity is what the NeoKKKons have created!

I was starting to follow Dean.
Nothing against Kuccinich, but I must be missing something. He never appears presidential to me. He may have a good agenda that I'm not that familiar with.
One would really have to hope that Kerry can pep up a bit.
Oh that's right, he's good at closing.

He's still in the race, you know. :)

Let's get out of fantasy land, shall we, and start working to take back this country!

...and it's clear that, if we had a choice, we would choose Gore. That's not fantasy....just opinion.

Plenty of Dem activists were bitching about Gore during and after the 2000 election, but now he's a hero. I agree that his speech was magnificent, and he's a major leader in the party. But, the sad thing is I can visualize Kerry being in that same position 5 years from now if we don't work like the dickens to get him elected. Imho, we should focus our energy and enthusiasm on Kerry. He, our country, and the world need and deserve nothing less.

Hubert Humphrey.
Or Bobby Kennedy....alas poor Bob.
