The final DFA Presidential Pulse Poll ends tonight at midnight Eastern Standard Time. That means you only have a few hours left to vote and make sure your voice is heard.
Today is a big day. With over 130,000 votes cast, the poll is already the largest presidential poll of progressive activists this year. Yet this isn’t even close to over. Traditionally, tens of thousands of votes come in on the last day.
That means the winner is still very much up for grabs.
It is pretty obvious that my Blog (Drinking Liberally in New Milford) likes Dennis Kucinich because he is really the only liberal on that list, and a moderate liberal like myself, but you might be surprised that my second choice as a candidate – so far – would be Christopher Dodd because of the many strong stances he has taken on pet issues of mine. As a Senator, I have very little to quibble about concerning his votes. As a presidential candidate he has been responsive to the people’s (and the Bloggers’) serious concerns about the path this country has followed under the disastrous policies of the criminal bush administration.
I am not a Democratic party member, nor a huge supporter of that party overall either (much to the chagrin of some progressive Bloggers… heh), because there is no way in hell that they can afford to keep throwing conservative candidates on to their ballot (the ones that play the triangulation-faux-centrist games) and ever hope to fix what is wrong with this country. But that is only the Democratic party problem side of it.
Fixing it really starts by kicking every single GOP candidate out of office. The corrupt ones. The ones that hate the Constitution. The ones that trample on the Bill of Rights. The ones that have desecrated the principles of this country with torture, illegal invasions, lies and illegally spied on Americans. The ones that have been the embodiment of hatred, racism and done everything they can to divide this country in any way they can.
We, all of We the People, need to unite against these GOP atrocities.
I have said my little piece on this subject… But now it is your tun to go there, vote, and try to make a difference, because even little polls like this make a difference in shaping America’s perception (sadly, this is true) of what the heart beat of America is drumming on about.
