IMPEACH BUSH


IMPEACH CHENEY


ANY DEM OVER ANY REPUBLICAN


Republicans at all levels of government represent big business and the status quo. Progress in so many areas--economic, civil rights, the environment, women's rights--have been advanced by Democrats with Republicans obstructing every step of the way. My first choice is John Edwards, but I will vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama if they get the nomination. Jon Carroll has some thoughts at www.sfgate.com:


Who am I kidding? I'm gonna vote for the Democratic nominee for president whoever it is. I am delighted that Mitt Romney will soon be taking a well-earned vacation, and I admit to rooting for Anybody But Mitt for a while, but that was visceral distaste rather than considered political judgment. Indeed, I suspect that a lot of Republicans shared my visceral distaste, and if I were one of Romney's children I'd be saying, "Daddy, where's my patrimony?"

But Clinton or Obama or Edwards - all fine with me. Bill Richardson would have been fine too. There are areas in which we disagree, but the heck with it - this isn't Match.com. Stopping the bleeding on the Supreme Court is numero uno, and they'll all do that. Sign the damn Kyoto Accords and stop the United States from being the spoiled, whiny child of international diplomacy - they'll all do that.
