Wanted: The Perfect Candidate
We all have OUR candidate. And all the candidates have a flaw.

Clark said some stuff on TV about the war, then said some different stuff.

Dean screamed really loud.

Edwards had a management job.

Kerry didn't vote against some unstoppable laws.

Lieberman is a funny little man.

Who the F*** cares? None of the candidates are perfect. We do not require them to be. The only important thing is that one of these face Bush. It's up to us to show up at the polls and defeat him. So let the perfect voter throw the first stone.

2. Bush is self-imploding.
People need to stop voting based on "electability."

It is one of the most flawed ideas I've ever seen. Was Ghandi "electable"?

4. I just want a sane cannidate not a perfect one
who will not take our jobs from us to slaves in china
who will not will not put the bill of rights in the shredder
who will recoginize that people are dying in our own country because of greedy insurance companies and hmos that we are allready spending the amount needed for universal healthcare and HEALTHCARE IS A RIGHT
who will not put the concerns of corporations profit and ceos over the need of the people
who will recognize that Colonialism is not right
that is not too much that is REASONABLE

9. Kucinich has no flaws. He is the perfect candidate.
But I'd have no problem voting for the nominee - preferably not Dean.

11. He's the most pro-choice of the candidates
He's the only candidate who's willing to use Roe v. Wade as a Litmus test. No other candidate will commit to this.

13. What?
Kucinich is the WORST on choice, having decided fairly recently that women should have sovereignty over their own bodies. He previously felt that that decision did not belong to women individually.
