Obama ran as a Liberal/Populist, and won BIG in 2008.

*Raise Taxes on the RICH

*Raise-the-CAP on FICA deductions

*Make EFCA the "Law of the Land"

*Put on comfortable shoes and Walk-the-Line with LABOR

*Re-negiotiate NAFTA

*Label our food with GMO warnings and Country of Origin

*Create a Public Option for Health Insurance plus NO Mandate to BUY Insurance

This stuff is straight out of the Kucinich Camp,
and Obama STILL won....... BIG!

A fire breathing, charismatic Populist (a la Huey Long),
running on a platform of:
[font size=3]If you Work for a Living, you have been getting SCREWED by the RICH for over 30 years"[/font]
can WIN anywhere.

Extra votes if he/she can shoot a gun and ride a horse without looking like an idiot.
