I Don't Like Howard Dean. Does That Make Me a Bad Person?

[Placebo]

Some say yes, some say no.

What say you?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. posting this in the lounge makes you a bad person

:spank:

[JohnKleeb]

2. Yes

Placebo you should know better!

[Placebo]

3. But if I post it anywhere else...

they'll be all "@#$%^&*())))(*&^%$#!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. chicken

[Placebo]

19. Chicken?

I like chicken. Does that make me a bad person?



Or were you just being mean and calling people names? Hmm...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. just teasing

[JohnKleeb]

4. I agree with NSMA, youre bad for posting this in the lounge

:).

[Red State Rebel]

5. Hey stranger, come here often?

:hi:

[Placebo]

7. Where have you been?

Get on AIM. :hi:

[TexasSissy]

6. No. Lots of people don't like him. That's why he lost the nomination.

[Mend]

8. Just neurotic and conflicted

since you don't really know Howard Dean, not liking him means that there is something about him that you disown in yourself. Now take two placebos and call me in the morning.

[GalleryGod]

9. Read More.

Your Guy in the Faculty Lounge,:hangover:
Munchin' on Stale Cruellers,

[Placebo]

11. Read more?

[Maddy McCall]

10. No. His sausage sucks.

;-)

[JohnKleeb]

14. his massages are even worse

:D>

[Placebo]

16. Would you like a massage while this face hovered over you?

:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

17. no but I would like this

Be my Ava Gardner, Kate :loveya:.

[Radical Activist]

36. Who is that again?

She doesn't look familiar. Nice photo.

[Cadence]

68. No, but maybe if more Democrats made that

face we'd actually grow a pair and get somewhere. Like it or not Barbara Boxer and Howard Dean are about the only two actually using their voices and speaking truth.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

21. um...have you HAD his sausage?

or is this locker room hearsay?

[cheezus]

12. YEEAAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

anyone who thinks you're a bad person soley because you dislike a public figure probably isn't that great either

[StopTheMorans]

15. AND WE'RE GOING TO IDAHO, AND CALIFORNIA, AND WASHINGTON

DC YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!

[davidinalameda]

13. not only no

but hell no!

[MuseRider]

22. Nope

and you most certainly not alone but a lot of people want you to think you are.

I am glad to see you back here.

I don't blame you for posting this here.

[Arkana]

23. Yes. Yes, it does.

Now burn in hell.

Just kidding. ;)

[Spider Jerusalem]

24. Huh...the "yeses" are outweighing the "noes" at this point.

Lot of shallow fucking people hereabouts, it seems. Or else people who think that because THEY like him, and think he's "the salvation of the Democratic Party" or some such nonsense, everyone who doesn't is just wrong...which is patently absurd (to say nothing of stupid).

And, for the record, I don't care for him that much, either.

[MisterP]

28. ooo! tell me how amoral and shallow I am!

:P

[WilliamPitt]

25. If you don't like Howard, you'll love this

You have to click the ad to make it play. Click the ad. Trust me.

[MuseRider]

30. LOL

Water is coming out my nose. Thanks, that is funny, like him or not.

[JohnKleeb]

31. thats why you never drink during those

Is it just me or does he look a lot like Bert from Bert and Ernie, Bert to me was always an asshole but Ernie was cool and sweet, :shrug: Childhood memmories.

[MuseRider]

32. I am just glad

I read it before I cracked open this beer. Ewwww, that would sting.

[JohnKleeb]

33. you should be lucky it wasn't citrus

:scared: that stings.

[Rhiannon12866]

66. Yes, he does!

I knew that he looked familiar, LOL! Good eye, John!:D

[tavalon]

35. I like Dean

and I laughed my ass off. Hilarious.

[fujiyama]

39. Poor Dean

He recieved so much greif for that speech/scream.

But I found that muppet thing funny, and on that night of the IA caucus I honestly was worried Dean would collapse from the ummm unbridled enthusiasm.

That said, he's the best choice for chair. I want a little bit of excitement back in the party. And I like that Howard loves to give 'em hell. It's refreshing to see his kind of candor.

[Rhiannon12866]

65. Thanks, Will, that was hysterical!

And I know someone else who will just love this!:D

Actually, I think that whole thing was totally overblown and shouldn't have spoiled his chances. Howard Dean was not my candidate, Dennis Kucinich was, and I was turned off by the hype surrounding the Dean campaign. But I have been listening to what he's had to say, since the election, and find that I agree with him. And I think he is a brilliant choice for DNC chair. He knows how to elicit grassroots support, raise funds, and I'm hoping that he galvanizes the party.:shrug:

[sendero]

26. When I'm hiring a person..

... to do a job, whether or not I like them is not the primary concern.

[iamjoy]

27. No, But Liking Dubya Would

:D

[curse10]

29. No, in fact it makes you one of my favorite people.

:-)

[redsoxliberal]

34. yes

[alittlelark]

37. I said yes, but then

I've followed your posts for awhile.

[Radical Activist]

38. Don't you like progressive leaders?

Oh wait, I mean moderate reformers. Or is Dean a populist today? Dammit I always forget. Let me check with my local DFA leader and get back to you on that. I'm told Rosenberg is really good, even if he is kind of DLC.

[fujiyama]

40. Nope

It says nothing about your character.

I like Dean's enthusiasm, but his attitude rubbed me the wrong way during the primaries.

I want to see him as chair though. All the other choices suck. They either sound like republicans, bore me to death, or sound retarded or like they have a speech impediment.

[msgadget]

41. Nope.

He's a politician. You're right to be dubious. (oh dear, where's my asbestos??)

[Rhiannon12866]

42. No, which candidate you like is your own business

Mine was Dennis Kucinich, but I know that were are many people out there who hadn't even heard of him!:-(

[mdmc]

44. haven't heard of Dennis!

uncivilized!

ps. This poll is beat.

[Rhiannon12866]

51. Honestly, some people did not

He got so little coverage in the press. Anytime you feel bad about your candidate, just think of mine. I do support Howard Dean for DNC chair, and really hope that he wins. I think that he is important for the future of the party, and would do an excellent job. As for Dennis Kucinich, he still is in the House, and will still do an excellent job for his constituency in Ohio. I just imagined greater things for him, since I believed in his vision.:shrug:

[mdmc]

53. keep speading the word

Kucinich is God!

[Rhiannon12866]

54. Thanks! Yes, he is just the best, I agree!

And I have been doing this since during the campaign. He's still my candidate, but I am willing to make compromises, ABB!!!:grr:

[mdmc]

57. Maurice Hinchey is my Congressman

And it feels great to have progressive representation. Kucinich and Hinchey - a dream team for the west wing...

[Rhiannon12866]

58. You're very fortunate. I have John Sweeney. *sigh*

I have read up on him, and he's actually fairly progressive on social issues, and often co-sponsors animal protection legislation, but he was also one of the Republican thugs that descended on Florida in 2000, and is on the Homeland Security Committee. No wonder I got the response that I did from him when I e-mailed him, telling him that I opposed The Patriot Act. LOL! The Dems managed to run someone against him, this time around, but this isn't always the case. I live in a very red district, and she didn't stand a chance. But representatives like Kucinich and Hinchey give me hope. I agree, a dream team.:-)

[mdmc]

61. who was the candidate - Sandy Oxford?

I'm running for office this year - pm me if your interested in bringing progressive leadership to the Hudson Valley.


All bets are off if the Dems fuck Dean on the chairmanship position.

[Rhiannon12866]

64. The candidate was Doris Kelly

Apparently she wasn't very impressive, as if anyone could take down Sweeney. She ran against John Coleman in the primary, and I thought he was a more viable candidate, but Doris Kelly had Dennis Kucinich's phone list, so more people had heard of her and she won. According to the local paper, Sweeney has the job for life, if he wants it. *sigh* At least he's better than his predecessor, Gerald Solomon. He was a RW maniac!
:scared:

[mdmc]

69. John has been to my house before. I've been to Doris' home as well.

I met John and his wife while working as a meetup coordinator for DFA. I met Doris while working on an Assembly campaign in 2000.

[ScreamingMeemie]

43. If you don't know him as an acquaintance, haven't met him personally,

haven't worked with him, or gone to school with him, are basing your opinion on his political career, or a hatred of his supporters...then yes. Do I care? Not even two pins. :hi:

[Placebo]

45. Do you know George W. Bush personally?

Do you know Bush as an acquaintance? Have you met Bush personally? Have you worked with, or gone to school with Bush? Or are you basing your opinion on his political career, or a hatred of his supporters?

Do you like George W. Bush? :shrug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

47. It's a hatred of the party...not the person for me. I hate what he stands

for. Do I not like him as a person? I don't know. I've never met him. :shrug:

[Placebo]

48. So you COULD see yourself liking Bush personally, then?

[ScreamingMeemie]

49. I've never met the man. I think I wouldn't like him upon meeting him

because our ideas seem to be vastly different. It's kind of like I couldn't dance on Reagan's grave.

I would like to see him tried for war crimes. I think he's jacked up our country,along with the rest of the Republicans. But when I really think about it, I've got many friends who are conservative. So I can't answer that. If I ever meet him, I'll let you know what I think of him. :hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

55. What is going on here?

Of course you aren't fond of Bush*, or you wouldn't be a member of DU. I would also like to see him tried for war crimes. As a former prosecutor, I thought that Kerry would be the perfect person to pursue this. My friend planned on pressing him on the subject. I am lucky, since most of my friends are also liberal. Not so, my relatives, but you can't pick them. But I cannot imagine that I'd ever like Bush*, if I met him, in person. He has just done and said way too much that I abhor.:shrug:

[NoPasaran]

56. I haven't met Busholini myself

But my brother has back when he was governor and he said that he was a very charming, affable person. Of course, now my brother also thinks Bush is a war criminal.

[Malikshah]

46. Yes, please report for the spanking gauntlet

:)

[marcologico]

50. Hell no, it means you've either got some sense

or you have a good nose for b.s.

Can't stand the little barf bag myself.

[CTLawGuy]
