1) Run as a Dem and take in 40% of the vote.
2) Run again as a Dem two years later during a wave election and scarf up 42% of the vote.
3) Give up on the Democratic Party, declare it identical to the Republican Party, and say the following to woo potential supporters during your run as an independent:
Wake up and smell the coffee–if that’s what is smelling. No major party since Buckley v Valeo will ever represent the people anymore.
No. It is you who endanger the democracy by supporting the major parties who serve only the special interests. Time to wake up.
Lieberman is no progressive. Wake up. Special interests control us. We need independents.
Sorry for the type. But get the message and stop the vitriol.
No major party candidate will represent a democracy any more. Wake up. There will be no difference between English and a democrat who will be controlled by the leadership.Independents will lead the way. Join me.
You are living in a fool’s paradise. What happened after the 2006 elections? Think.
You are serving the wrong master and harming the democracy. Look at where the money comes from and goes to and you will know who runs the parties. Think. The democracy is at stake. Perhaps much more.
Bull feathers. No one tried harder than me to change the party from within. It is impossible. Wake up. And since when did you gain the power to exclude non-democrats from a national blog. Wake up and think.
grow up
And you have chosen to support evil. Follow the money.
You are contributing to the demise of democracy. Follow the money. What is the good of electing Democrats if they are the same as Republicans in the end? Wake up while there is still time.
I didn’t realize that this website was devoted to the elimination of free speech.
The real fight is to save the democracy. Join me.
The Democrats have become like the Republicans–special interest run.The lesser of two evils is still an evil.
Why be wedded to a name. Wed the ideals.
Join me. Let’s save the democracy.
I only sued once. Trial in February.I run to save our democracy.
7 killed today in Iraq. The Congress is on vacation. Wake up.
But to use resources to feed both major parties when they have destroyed our democracy is not a waste? Wake up.
One runs to speak out.
4) Profit!!!
Gee i wish I was a trusted user so I could see all of those comments in the original diary. LOL
…but I will say that, after this stunt, I think that Actblue should have bundled up the whopping $1,175 raised by “Dr. Porter” by abusing a Democratic fundraising tool, and returned every red cent to his donors.
Oh, and “sanctimonious asshole” just about sums this joker’s performance up.
I was almost sure you were talking about Mike Gravel, until I saw that it was about PA-03.
I hope this guy takes this exact message door-to-door. “THINK!!! WAKE UP!!! FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!!!”
