Why can't the democratic party produce a reasonable canidate for president... ever?

Question

I mean, right now, they have no one, everyone is just a quack. Their ideals are not necessarily bad, its just their canidates just scare the heck out of me, every one of them.

they scare me because hillary clinton is the most honest one, with her communist like beliefs. To be honest, right now, if i had to vote for a demo, it would be her over every other demo. Obama, joke and half, if you thought bush was inexperienced (which probably lead to him not being good) obama is less experienced and the perfect puppet. Oh what fun!

Answer 1

I'm sorry there aren't enough White Anglo-Saxon Protestant Male front runners for you to choose from.

Try Edwards or Biden, or even Bill Richardson. Too bad the prospect of having WWIII under the Republicans doesn't scare you as much as having a female or a black president. Oh no, the prospect of Obama or Clinton makes you wanna poop in your pants.

Prioritize, buddy. Do you think Bush was reasonable? Or McCain, or even Romney? No. None of these people are reasonable, and yet, they have a real shot of being elected. Having "reasonable" candidates on your ticket doesn't ensure electability.

Answer 2

I just think they can't find anybody who will fit right now. I think the idea of dragging Obama from an obscure corner over the past year was an effort to stitch together some public recognition of the guy so that when the election comes people aren't thinking "Barrack Obama... I swear I heard that name from somewhere...".

And Hillary, well, sorry but I believe people have gotten far past the fact that she's a woman, and then realized there wasn't a whole lot of presidential material there.

anyway to really answer the question:
we're just stuck in political stagnation. The parties are falling apart: the Democratic Party is going to fall, and if something stronger will rise from the ashes then it will cause the current Republican party to fall, which will probably cause a new party to rise from it's ashes which will hopefully be a compitent counter.

Answer 3

They should, and the foolish who say that they don't want to be involved may very well soak us with another one. It is time to break the cycle. Another Republican President, or a Democrat that has the best interests of America at heart would be a good choice. A democrat that does not follow the party line, who has the name of Democrat, but in many ways acts more as a Republican would be a good idea. Far fetched, but still possible. The PEOPLE, all of us, need to be at the voting places come election day. If you don't vote, don't squawk about who gets elected. We the people also need to keep our representatives aware that we do approve, or disapprove of their actions by letter, email, or a telephone call. We can swamp out what the lobbyists have to say, or other special interest groups if we will just make our point of view known to our representatives.

Answer 4

Ok, lets try to put partisanship aside for a moment and evaluate this honestly. Does that sound good?

1. Obama - Little is known about this guy. Being inexperienced isn't always a bad thing. Lincoln was inexperienced. We're going to have to wait and see what happens with this guy. He's got alot of time to "articulate" his platform and his ability to manage his campaign will tell us something about him as a leader, for better or for worse.

2. Hillary - Not much enthusiam about this Senator from New York from the base, but still enjoys popularity. Why is this? Because for the past 4 years she's been trying to move to the right, slowly and gradually. It's a well known fact that swing voters prefer moderates historically, and she's going for that image. The only problem is that she's lost alot of her base in the process.

3. Dark Horse. There's always someone no one expects. We're gonna have to wait and see what the democrats have in store for us.

Answer 5

Sen. Hillary Clinton is hardly ever a loser, and neither is Obama. it really is humorous, the Republicans are those who're wringing their hands because they have not were given a doable candidate which could beat her, yet it really is the Democrats which have a difficulty? they have the acceptable field by a recommendations, and it really is glaring to really everyone, even those who can not stand to admit it out loud. each Republican from coast to coast is praying that Thompson runs because he's the in effortless words individual who has a shot in hell at beating her. And he's been too lazy to get off duff and mount a campaign!

Answer 6

Put three environmentalists in a round room and ask them to pee in a corner. One will tell you that corners are too exact, and that he prefers more arbitrary aim. Another will tell you he simply doesn't need to go, and to try would interfere with his normal bodily functions, and his health. The other will walk around aimlessly for hours, mumbling something about "The Man, always bossing him around".

How do you expect this lot to elect anyone who can shoot straight, concentrate on practical problems, and not aimlessly wander off topic?

None of them ever noticed the lack of corners, of course. Democrats rarely can see the real problem, they're busy with little "issues" all the time.

Answer 7

Clinton was actually an excellent president, in all but his personal life. I mean, we had a *surplus* when he left. Gore was pretty good. I agree Kerry didn't have what it takes. I fear Hillary is too divisive. But Obama? Obama might be the real deal.

I *never* had a problem with Bush being "inexperienced." I had a problem with him being a self-righteous jerk.

Answer 8

Right! We another need another Republican to get us into another War in the Middle East that can not be won. Don't you think one unfinished War is enough.
We need a Democrat to bring the troops home while teaching the government of the Middle East how to do it and by example to others to us diplomacy as a weapon for peace.
Bush and the Republicans were kicked out of the Congress in O6 and they will be kicked out of the White House in O8.
Go Hillary! Go Barrack! Go Binden! Go Edwards! Save our Country from the mismanagement of the Republicans!

Answer 9

How do they scare you? You scare easily. Has conservative hate radio told you they are all bogeymen? Actually no candidate on either side scares me. The one in office scares me but not any who want to replace him and Cheney.

Last time, for example, I didn't like either Bush or Kerry but I voted for Kerry the lesser of the two evils. This time I could vote for McCain, Edwards, Obama, Romney, or Clinton I could vote for Al Gore if he runs. It is too early to tell right now.

Answer 10

Democrats are bleeding hearts they take their cut then want to help out the "disadvantaged" or as I like to call them the lazy the republicans take their cut then take care of the rich and all the big corporation whichever party wakes up and starts throwing a few bones to the working middle class will be the party that prevails in the long run.
