Hackbarth in '08!

Dennis Hackbarth of Fulton, IL wants to be President of the United States. He's getting a jump on all the other better known hopefuls by announcing his candidacy now.

He was recently interviewed on Morrison Online and his campaign website has the easy to remember URL of http://www.webspawner.com/users
/dennisehackbarth/index.html.

But to save you the bother of clicking on the link, here's the entire contents of his Presidential Campaign web site.

No frills, but certainly sincere. And he's definitely on target with at least one thing. Fundraisers and contributions WILL be helpful.

I've already got the perfect campaign slogan for Dennis that will ensure his grassroots campaign spreads like wildfire.

"Back the Hack"

Well, maybe not.
But face it. Could he do any worse than the guy we have in there now?

If on election day our boys are still dying in Iraq and the Democratic and Republican candidates are long-time elected officials who have not renounced their support for the war then independant candidates like this might just win.

That's an interesting point. '08 may be a banner year for independents, given the performance of both major parties.

I think many people would vote for a egg salad sandwich over Bush.

And actually, the country would be better off if they had.

I constantly hear the whine from the right that the Dems only bash Bush and don't offer any ideas of their own.

Well, the fact remains that when confronted with a president and party which attempts absolutely insane and destructive measures, you don't offer ways to improve them!

The fact remains that the Dems would never do or pursue most of the weird measures the right has pushed through, and so their "alternative" is simply to NOT DO THEM.

With the world and country in crisis, why waste time and energy trying to discriminate against gays? It's nuts! Why should we offer a better plan for that?

Why should we offer a better plan to ensure that the country which is already over run with guns, gets even more violent and dangerous?

Why should we offer them a better plan to further deny access to government and hide behind unprecidented secrecy?

Why should we offer a better plan to interfere with deeply personal end of life decisions?

Why should we offer a better plan for social security when it's not as bad off as they try to say and doesn't require the radical privatization scheme they propose? Medicare and mediaid are in far worse shape, we should concentrate on those. The entire Social Security "debate" was a sham anyway designed to privatize the massive program and shift billions into the pockets of major Bush donors like Charles Schwabb.

Why should we offer a better plan to soak the middle class and feed the rich?

We don't need to tell the right how to further mess up the country and the world. We're just telling them to stop the destruction.

We DO have a positive alternative to their crazy record. Just don't do it!
