Most Americans still do not realize that they are enslaved to the ruling elite, a group with a savage, relentless devotion to avarice, the blind pursuit of money, and the domination of Earth's people and resources. Under the Bush Regime, the mask of civility, morality, and democracy has slipped to the point that the hideous visage of raw capitalism and imperialistic ambition is almost completely exposed. Yet somehow, as over a hundred thousand lie dead in Iraq, the Patriot Act strips our civil liberties, the wealth gap widens to a chasm, Big Brother has been caught watching (and is unrepentant), billions of dollars are wasted on occupations of sovereign nations, habeas corpus disappears, America engages in torture regularly, property rights precede human rights, and a major city lays in ruins due to the willful neglect of a government charged by the Constitution with promoting the general welfare, many Americans still cannot, or will not, dare to even glimpse at the lurid countenance of evil leering at them from Washington.
Like a swarm of locusts, Social Darwinists have descended upon our nation and are rapidly devouring the fruits of our labor. Resembling leeches, these parasites drain the life-blood of America and return nothing. Acting as virulent strains of previously undiscovered illnesses, these pathogens have infected a nation filled with the promise and potential envisioned by Thomas Paine. The resulting disease has reduced the United States to a wheezing, gasping tyrant nearly on economic life support. This once admirable nation flails almost blindly as it wields the only real power it has left like a bludgeon, dispatching its awesome military on imperial errands and acts of revenge (against the wrong people) under the pretense of humanitarian intervention. Employing quick sound bites, propaganda packaged as gospel, tantalizing distractions, the lure of easy money, and a highly insular environment, these sociopathic plunderers have hijacked America . Their reckless piloting is destined to result in a disaster of Biblical proportions. America 's rulers view the world as their playground. Recess is in session and the schoolyard bullies have seized control. They kidnapped the school-yard monitor, have stolen the lunch money, are taunting and beating the weak, and are playing kickball with the class misfit's head.

Lieberman, until democrats threw him under the bus for disagreeing with the party line. It shows how open minded dems are.
Zel Miller was a good Dem
The problem with the dems is that if they speak against the party line, they are chastised and thrown out of the party.

Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman because they are not traitors like Kerry, Murtha, Durban, Pelosi, and Reid.

Joe Lieberman for the guts to stand up for what's right...
Joe Biden for his efforts to implement the Fair Tax...
To an extent I have respect for Obama because he's not afraid to put his nuts on the chopping block. I like it when people think outside the box, but they need to do so with a semblance of sanity. I disagree with about 95% of his politics, but disagreeing with someone doesn't equal a lack of respect.

Zell Miller and Ed Koch put aside partisan politics to recognize the threat we faced. Both endorsed Bush and helped save us from a genuine idiot becoming president. Joe Lieberman also refused to obey the idiots running his party and vote for what he knew was right.

I would have to say Joe Biden. Though he says amazingly stupid things, he has a lot of passion, and stands for what he thinks and believes. That's uncommon for most politicians if you haven't noticed. After that I would say Libberman too, but he's not really a democrat anymore. And I would need to add Harold Ford Jr. too. He brings back the meaning to moderate; I think we could all use that!

Joe Lieberman; he is honest, believable, thoughtful and intelligent in his assessments and actions. He thinks for himself and is not swayed by the polls. He is trustworthy. He is a Democrat I could vote for. I have a lot of respect for him.

I'm with Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller. Unfortunately I'm registered Libertarian so my vote doesn't count.
At least, with them, the country comes before the "Party."
