February 7, 200422 yr Alright folks, lets lay it out on the table. What issues are most important to you in this upcoming election. Why do you choose to vote for those you choose to vote for? Let's lay it out on the table and determine who is the best candidate for you. Quite simply, I say its me. We have had enough of Washington insiders. It's time to take back America for America.
February 7, 200422 yr The Enviroment, The Economy, THe Job Market, and Preventing the rise of College Tuition, If You, John Edwards and Dennis K would combine, I'd have a great canidate until then I'm sticking with Edwards who represents The American Dream which is what The Democrats need to beat Bush, Someone relatable or A Veteran.
February 7, 200422 yr Author Senator Edwards also represents a Washington insider who has relied on special interests to fund his campaign.
February 7, 200422 yr Senator Edwards also represents a Washington insider who has relied on special interests to fund his campaign. You also represent A Choke Artist, who blew all his fortunes and the hearts of millions of college kids, when you became a big shot and suddenly were too good to grant interviews and were taking time off to meet Jimmy Carter, which in the end hurt you. I'd rather have A Democratic Washington Insider who represents me and who introduces George Bush to unemployment, rather than have some wannabe Mondale have to say to me "Well we came close". I don't want close, I want Bush out and John Kerry or Edwards can get that done, oh and by the way, don't try pulling A Bull Moose just to screw your party over.
February 7, 200422 yr Wesley Clark claims that he'll raise minimum wage to 7.00 an hour. You guys think he's bluffing?
February 7, 200422 yr I hope he doesn't personally, sure it would be nice for High School kids and uneducated Americans, but it would only spur more Illegal Immigration. Raising Minimum Wage seems to me a lot like "Read my lips, No New Taxes"
February 7, 200422 yr Amen Rune. Amen. While I love the fact that America is a melting pot, and that everyone wants to come here for a better life.... the fact is that illegal immigration squanders chances for Americans to have jobs in their own homeland. And I cant say I blame the supervisors. Hell an illegal immigrant will work a helluva lot cheaper than most Americans would.
February 7, 200422 yr You know this wouldn't be such a problem if American Companies weren't leaving the homeland like a rat off of a sinking ship. They leave the good ol' US of A where they can get cheaper labor and work them to death. Can you blame them? And the goverment lets them get away with it! Illegal immigrants don't take American jobs. Faceless American coorporations knowingly employ illegal immigrants. Blame the coorporations, not the immigrants.
February 7, 200422 yr Author We were all immigrants at one time to this great nation. Here is my views and my stance on immigration. America is an immigrant nation. As President, I will recognize and respect the vital role immigrants have played in building the American community. Candidate Bush promised that he would be a different kind of Republican, supportive of immigrants and their desires to achieve the American Dream. Candidate Bush promised to revamp the naturalization process so that immigrants who met the requirements could obtain their citizenship in six months or less. In 2001, President Bush said he would work with President Fox of Mexico to develop a new immigration policy that recognized the economic contribution of immigrants, particularly those from Mexico, and that would respect the human rights of these migrants. Unfortunately, President Bush has not kept these promises. While he made these promises and invited mariachis to play at the White House, his Attorney General, John Ashcroft, was deputizing local police authorities as junior INS agents to track down undocumented immigrants. Instead of exercising leadership to achieve comprehensive immigration reform, President Bush has turned his back on Mexico and other Latin American countries. He has ignored the dreams of millions of immigrants to become a legitimate part of our society, and not simply its unseen workforce. Instead of revamping and streamlining the immigration agency and its processes, the President has allowed the agency to be swallowed up into the Department of Homeland Security, where immigrants are routinely treated as terrorists until proven otherwise. We need a White House that will lead Congress to enact real immigration reform. As President, I will work tirelessly to achieve that goal. * I will work to ensure that people who work hard, pay taxes, and otherwise obey the rules can become full participants in our society, including becoming citizens. * I will work to regularize the inevitable future migration of labor in a way that makes economic and humanitarian sense. Deaths in the desert do neither. * I will propose reforms that ensure we can meet our economy?s need for workers at all skill levels, without pitting foreign workers against U.S. workers and while respecting workers' rights including the right to organize. * I will work to forge stronger partnerships with countries from which immigrants migrate -- especially Mexico -- so that in the long run, fewer people will be driven by desperation to break laws and risk their lives for basic opportunities that every human being deserves. * I will work to ensure that immigrants who are detained by the Department of Homeland Security are afforded their basic civil rights and that our concern for national security does not become another excuse for racial profiling. * I will build on our country?s long history of welcoming immigrants in ways that reflect our need for security but do not sacrifice the basic ideals upon which this nation was founded.

I don't want close, I want Bush out and John Kerry or Edwards can get that done, oh and by the way, don't try pulling A Bull Moose just to screw your party over. Sure we all make mistakes. I will be the first to admit it. Sen. Edwards refuses to address key issues in this race. The same thing can be said of Sen. Kerry. They are both Washington insiders and we need to get someone who is not a Washington insider into office. We need someone who will challenge the Republicans and President Bush, not simply someone who will support his frivilious programs. I have constantly said that we have to stand up against President Bush's policies as that is the only way to defeat him in November. Now keep this in mind, at this point less than 10% of the total delegates have been cast. Even with our problems we still hold the second most delegates to my name. Wisconsin is key. Wisconsin represents the progressive spirit of this nation. With a victory in Wisconsin the Dean campaign will be in good hands again, if you think for a minute that hearts have been broken, you are not looking at the big picture. We are once again gaining steam. Over 14,000 people have donated nearly 1 million dollars since Tuesday. If you dont think we dont have momentum still, you are mistaken. My campaign continues to represent everyday Americans who are tired of the insider deals in Washington. Help me take America back.
February 7, 200422 yr Author Wisconsin does not hold their primary tomorrow. We still have a couple of weeks to sway the voters. We are currently working to get the word out in Wisconsin that Howard Dean is right for America. Bank on it occuring.
February 7, 200422 yr Me: -Trying to repair our world relations with other countries (don't particularly care what France thinks of us though) -Secure Iraq -Stop Bush from creating another Civil Rights controversy and finally, -GET BUSH OUT OF OFFICE ALREADY.
February 7, 200422 yr Wisconsin does not hold their primary tomorrow. We still have a couple of weeks to sway the voters. We are currently working to get the word out in Wisconsin that Howard Dean is right for America. Bank on it occuring. Dean's done, he's not getting enough support from the primary voters. I don't see him winning anything this weekend either. It's going to be Kerry vs. Edwards for the nomination.
February 8, 200422 yr Well Mr. Dean I just watched my local news and here are the Wisconsin numbers... John Kerry 33% JOHN EDWARS 21% Wesley Clark 19% HOWARD DEAN 18% We at the Edwards camp hope that you'll vote for us instead of Bush in November. Or wait, maybe you can become a Wisconsin Citizen just in time to vote Edwards to victory in Wisconsin. Your campaign is toast. Also I want you to do this for me Mr. Dean. Pick an issue, lets say Education. John Edwards has the full endorsement of the National Education Association. But lets focus on the economy Dean. Tell us... 1. Whats wrong with the economy. 2. How you plan to fix it. 3. How you plan to pay for it. Simply put explain #3 the most clearly, because John Edwards is the only one who has explained all 3 clearly and thoroughly. http://www.johnedwards2004.com/economy.asp
