Edited on Sat Sep-16-06 07:10 PM by KoKo01
Who would BEST represent "Unity '08" that DLC and REPUGS have been Pushing?

Wouldn't I want it to be the BEST OF DEMS PARTY? Like...Al Gore/John Edwards

As opposed to "Bloomberg/Lieberman" or "Giuliani/McCain."

Do your own "Fantasy Combinations" but it's disgusting that members of BOTH PARTIES are PUSHING "UNITY '08" as the answer to our FAILING DEMOCRACY... Instead of CLEANING UP THEIR ACT...they decide they BOTH need a THIRD PARTY?

cough...cough..GACK! What the HELL IS GOING ON HERE???

5. How about Obama/Powell ...that's what CNN's Cafferty was Poll Pushing
Friday Night. So...is it the Black Party against the Jewish Centrists?

Somehow I thought we'd gotten beyond "Racist/Religious Politics" a few decades ago...but with the rise of the Armageddonists Christian Fundies...I gues ANYTHING GOES? :eyes: Cough****GACK****COUGH...UGH!

3. You got this all wrong
If there's gonna be a Unity '08 party, we better hope it pushes a ticket that will take away more votes from the Repubs than the Dems, but not strong enough to pose any real threat. Romney/Liebermann would work, maybe.

17. You just don't get it
If this "Unity 08" thing gets off the ground at all, it will be manipulated by the GOP to put forward a ticket that will draw off centrist Dem votes and help someone real right-winger like Allen or Frist get elected. And Democrats will probably end up sitting on our thumbs -- AGAIN -- whining, how did they pull that off?

Geez, just once, I'd like to see us get in ahead of the curve.

4. Screw their "unity"!
If the last six years haven't taught us that the repugs are unfit to govern then we have learned nothing at all.

The only good thing about this idea is if Al From is behind it, you know it's going to be a failure.

16. Now that they KNOW they are losing it all, they call for "unity".
I want PARTISANSHIP - unapologitic, unabashed PASTISANSHIP for what's GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY - that is the DEMOCRATS!

TO HELL WITH THIS BULLSHIT OF "UNITY".

Let THEM "unify" behind US for a change!...

8. I would call it "Complete Sellout" when two parties cant stop Corruption
and so take the "easy way out" and go for "THIRD PARTY!"

We need to clean out corruption...an Third Way will be the WAY to let the BUSFASCISTS off the HOOK. Remember that the "Powers that Be" always let the BIG FISH OFF HOOK ...like they allowed Nixon to Resign and Reagan to get away with Iran-Contra. The "Powers that Be" know that Bushies FUCKED UP BIG TIME...AND CLINTON, TOO! So, they want to throw the "baby out with the cesspool bathwater" and PRETEND TO START OVER!

NO000000000000000000! CLEAN IT UP! We let NIXON OFF EASY...CLEAN IT UP and Prosecute BUSH I & II for the CRIMES of OMISSION AND COMMISSION they both Committed against the CONSTITUTION!!!!

CLEAN IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

15. I've always thought Gore/Obama
has a nice ring to it. I think Gore unifies much of those left of center, if that is all possible.
