Agenda : Get Bush out. I wouldn't really care if it was Bush, a democrat, or anyone, the man has been a disaster on every front, apparently seems to be behind distortions of fact that may as a ripple effect changed even UK politics, turned the sympathy of the world from 9/11 into an absolute pure hatred in most countries of his administration, turned a record surplus into a record deficit, cost 2.5 million jobs, created the worst situation for state governments since WW2...no facts?
No likeable candidate: Howard Dean, who has energized a sizeable segment of democrats who have for years felt their party was nothing but a diet version of the Republican party, who opposed the war in Iraq but supports limited cases of death penality and gun rights, and who has given many people with no political inclinations - myself included - inspiration.
Feasible plan: Simple. First off, it is beginning to seem as if for the first time since Nixon there may be serious information they're afraid might get out. They just admitted that information given in the State of the Union was "incorrect" which is pretty much unprecedented and would seem to indicate that there is more.
The 9/11 investigation is being hampered by the executive branch. Second, the plan is simple. A lot of people - not just democrats - are pissed off about the handling of the 2000 elections. Democrats especially are upset. The growing sentiment of "mad as hell and not going to take it anymore" is evident among Dean's supporters, many like myself who disagree with him on some things but feel the other candidates are too establishment. Nonetheless, don't worry, the moveon.org poll suggests even if Kucinich gets nominated he'll get rousing support.
Bush-bash: Most everything I have said here is facts. Bash? The man basically misled the entire world in the State of the Union address. How do you bash that?
