91. Dennis had my vote last time he ran
Edited on Sat Nov-10-07 02:58 PM by undergroundpanther
And he has it THIS time.Again.And if he runs for president after this election season,he will get my vote AGAIN.
I say this because by his actions,and his word, Dennis has a conscience.
Dennis is a TRUE progressive Dem,not a corporate servant playing a Democrat on TV to win votes from people not aware the DLC has been infiltrated by fifth columnists,or have forgotten what being Liberal means..

Dennis knows what I want to see blossom in my country and he will not compromise with the socialized psychopaths on the right and the fake Dem's pretending they give a shit about our welfare..

Dennis has a mind and a heart and he is not scared to use and show he has both even on TV ..Dennis actually READS the Constitution. How many neocons know any of what that precious document says? Seems the neocons find out what it says when they break the Constitution itself..seeking tyranny ,by allowing torture, removing habeas corpus or being investigated for illegal wiretapping,than they find out,a bit too late
Sadly the right wing citizen enamored with authority figures act as enablers of the abusers of power.Right wing people are ever so eager to sell out the freedoms and rights given us all to feel secure.

Liberals of Dennis's caliber are unwilling to do that even to make the right feel secure,Dennis will make the right wing own up to it's crimes and face it's fears..Hillary and Obama just are not Liberal enough to do that.They compromise as if that is the answer. The time for compromise is long over my liberal co patriots.Dennis realizes this.

The rest of the candidates ,they are almost carbon copies of each other,the blind leading the blind. They are too far to the right for me to stomach,even though Gravel says some true things he too is very much so on the right.All but DK,are too in line with Bush's disastrous policies. Hillary, Obama and the rest are still corporatist, and unwilling to do the tough changes to push what is needed to redirect this countries "leadership" into it's proper role a servant of us, the people.

That's why the media focuses on Hillary and Obama so damn much they are the CORPORATE choice, the Oligarchies candidates and so the media COMPANIES try to shut out Dennis and stifle his voice. Because Dennis knows what Liberal means.If it was not for the web....

So You Go Dennis!!! ,You have the integrity to shame them all with their own bought out bullshit, The intelligence to see those veiled right wing talking points and the courage to point out their inane hypocrisy,and the character to defeat this banality of evil..even on TV in front of everyone.

Dennis if his message was understood and heard,I think he would..
Let the bullshit"front runners run headlong into the pile of bullshit they are trying to foist upon the American people.
And come out looking presidential..smelling like a rose.

That is what true liberals do when given a voice against the tyranny .The mainstream unaware of how power has been abused to take our rights and freedoms from us,begins to GET IT.And that is what the corporatist and abusers of power FEAR..

Dennis is the ONLY true blue progressive Democrat running this race. He has MY vote. Again.
No questions about Dennis's left tilt for me.Because I am on the left myself probably more left than Dennis,and I am PROUD to be a Liberal too..Because I know what a liberal really IS and what it means to me to call myself a Liberal and what Liberal meant before the manipulating narcissistic right wing assholes and their corporate buddies twisted language and meaning itself through vain repetitions until they almost made the word liberal into a slur against my personal integrity..


What I have to ask of other people here on DU..: Do you remember or know what it means to be a liberal anymore? Politically or otherwise? Think and be honest with yourselves.

A hint:
A Liberal or Left wing person has these traits:

Giving and generous,ethical, broad minded, tolerant of other ideals different than their own,non-traditional, not as self oriented but more community oriented, not narcissistic in the use of political power or presence, prefers a government and expects a corporation to be fair and expect others to be fair also,,pro-privacy, reads the constitution and understands what it SAYS and what a violation of the constitution or bill of rights or the law is and will not tolerate that..Liberals do not exempt themselves from the rule of law like republicans want and try to do ,but only for republicans.

Liberals are ethical,honest and open,thoughtful,transparent, gentle,seeking wisdom. Liberals are supportive of others who are'weaker' or less advantaged than themselves,even if they cannot"produce" because Liberals value all human life.Liberals support women's liberation,they support abortion and birth control,and sex education knowing pregnancy can be used as a tool by patriarchy to control and oppress women, it was used in the past this way. Liberals also support the rights of minorities and gays because they too are human beings as human and as much a person with rights to person hood as much as any white christian male.... Liberals strive to liberate the human spirit of all people not just their own kind or class..

Liberals are willing to share wealth of us all with even the least of us so that we all can thrive to the best of each ones ability.

Liberals are class warriors on the good side of humanity pushing for higher principles ,willing to tax the rich if they will not share voluntarily and give of their excess. Liberals are egalitarians,and stand for the public good,the health, safety and welfare of the American people,Holding people over profit is a Liberal value.

Liberals are for elevating human life and the well being of us all including the animals and the ecosystem that supports life here over the short sighted demands non-living things like corporations or preserving the myth of social stratification and entitlements especially ones rich people think they are owed by this world and full spectrum domination....Liberals do not hold a double standard,unlike republicans who see people through their calvinistic Pre- destination beliefs and illusions of social classes and plutocratic delusions of entitlement.

Liberals are anti-full spectrum domination of the whole world,they believe each country city and state has a right to maintain its own character as long as human rights are not violated.Liberals are ANTI-TORTURE, Liberals are not theocratic ,dominionists,or evangelists who seek to tear down the wall of separation of church and state. Liberals are smarter more educated,because they value learning,and so they understand why we must become more "green".,Liberals are Anti-war,and pro- diplomacy whenever possible,Liberals should be at least somewhat anti- authoritarian and mistrust authoritarians,especially around places and positions of power.

Liberals understand what damage that un-checked greed and abuse of power does to all human beings.They want everyone to thrive,well and pursue their happiness if it is not at the expense of others thriving..They support equal rights and civil liberties in general...And they know making shady deals and compromises with power hungry right wing psychopaths only destroys the liberal values that true liberals hold near and dear.Like securing the common good and general welfare of the people even ones who are not white or male,churches or corporations... Matters.

Are you a liberal on the left?
If so DK is the only REAL and GENUINE liberal running.
Think about it.
