I chose Biden for the entertainment factor. If I really had to choose one of these socialist goons for the next four years, at least Biden would keep things interesting with his verbal diarrhea. You never know what's going to come out of that guy's mouth, and it's hillarious when he does it!
where's oSama? UBL belongs on this list ... he's the defacto party leader and the uber-candidate ... his looks like a bearded kucinich ... he's received grooming tips from edwards ... he wears his robes like hillary wears a business suit, he's a consonant away from being kin to obama, gets diarrhea-of-the-mouth in sporadic episodes (like biden) and is as ugly as dodd ... he's the complete democrat package.
"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage
morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested,

All the news I need to know is at the top of the hour on my local radio station. - - - My brother-in-law. He supports Hillary. The news is from CNN. Any questions?
I picked Kucinich because of his interviews with Sean Hannity. He's the only Dem who doesn't try to hide from Fox News, he takes his knocks for his positions on things, and doesn't cry or whine about being picked on. And, most importantly, when he's wrong on a fact and gets challenged, he asks where he can find details on the other point of view rather than just calling someone stupid or a liar.
“I would remind you
that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind
you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.”
Well if the poll said "Worst Democrat", I'd **** for Hillary. The **** stands for "vote". I just couldn't stomach saying the words, "I'd **** for Hillary", even if it is voting for her for the WORST person.
But preferred Democrat? Hmmm, any one of these people on the list would be a disaster and downright danger for this country, especially in this post-911 era, much like Algore and John sKerry would have been. So which of these would I most prefer to wreck the United States? NOTA is indeed the only possible way to answer the question. Or, yes, writing in Zell Miller's name. And perhaps Gene Taylor of Mississippi.
I voted for Kucinich because he's has to be one of the funniest poles I have ever encountered. He's funny without even trying to be. Heck, he doesn't even have to speak. I can look at him with the tv on mute and crack up. His responses to questions reminds me of a cross between the Firesign Theatre and Jack Benny.
Okay, I read this to mean who would you prefer to be on top of their ticket...not who I'd vote for. I'd never vote for any of them on this list. Maybe Joe Lieberman or Zell Miller....but you couldn't PAY me enough to vote for this crew...even if I were dead.
I therefore selected John Edwards, figuring he had the highest probability of implosion, a la the Howard Dean scream.

One of the forums (non-political) has polls often. Sometimes the polls offer no choices that appeal to anyone, so as a remedy the moderators started putting in an option so silly and irrelevant to the poll just to amplify how very few, if any of the readers, actually supported one of the non-choices.
That forum uses "Surprise, Buttsecks!", which is a popular LOLCat theme. Though, that particlar phrase is too low brow for this site, how about something like "Intergalactic Lord Xenu", or something along those lines.
I have no idea what the topic of the next Tom Cruise movie is. I just threw that out there at random.
Other things I thought about throwing out there were "I has a bucket", "Spice must flow", and "I'm herpes-free today". But Intergalactic Lord Xenu seemed like it would be the most widely know here, and the most appropriate for this website.
Cruise plays Von Stauffenberg the Colonel who was involved in the plot to kill Hitler in summer of 1944. The plot to kill Hitler is pretty interesting, and the story too. It's a pretty interesting "What If?" in regards to what would have happened if it had been successful. I have to admit I don't watch Cruise movies much anymore though.
Had the plot to kill Hitler succeeded, the prevailing theory was that most of the German General Staff was in favor of surrendering to the Western Allies and then joining them in repelling the Soviet advance from the East. By this time (June 1944) experienced field commanders knew the handwriting was on the wall.
The plot failed because all of the explosives in the briefcase placed under the conference room table did not go off. They came that close...

At least Kucinich is honest, unlike those phonies Clinton and Edwards. Hate the man's politics and views, but you got to respect the fact he is honest.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign said Monday it will return $850,000 in donations raised by Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, who is under federal investigation for violating election laws.
Clinton, D-N.Y., previously had planned only to give to charity $23,000 she received from Hsu for her presidential and senatorial campaigns and to her political action committee, HillPac.
The FBI is investigating whether Hsu paid so-called straw donors to send campaign contributions to Clinton and other candidates, a law enforcement official said Monday. [emphasis added]
This will likely not touch Shillary, though it should be the immediate end of her campaign. She will be smothered with gratitude by the MSM for "staying out" of this by...giving the $850,000 back. Unfortunately, the only way this will involve her as a Democrat, is if she is brought up on charges. We will see...
If this were a Republican/Conservative, this would have ended long ago, with an immediate announcement of the end of their campaign.

September 11, 2007 - 07:27 ET by BritcomWASHINGTON (AP)—Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign said Monday it will return $850,000 in donations raised by Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, who is under federal investigation for violating election laws.
Clinton, D-N.Y., previously had planned only to give to charity $23,000 she received from Hsu for her presidential and senatorial campaigns and to her political action committee, HillPac.
The FBI is investigating whether Hsu paid so-called straw donors to send campaign contributions to Clinton and other candidates, a law enforcement official said Monday. [emphasis added]

She will be smothered with gratitude by the MSM for "staying out" of this by...giving the $850,000 back.

If this were a Republican/Conservative, this would have ended long ago, with an immediate announcement of the end of their campaign.
