I'll be a Democrat for PA-13 in 2024!!!! OH YEAH!!

[TeePee4Prez]

Funny someone nominated me, but I wonder how I would do?

[TeePee4Prez]

Soulty, I think you could do it with more confidence.  Hey some of the clowns in Congress I know I can do better than and I'm sure you can.  

[TeePee4Prez]

Uncle Mark, you forgot me...

[TeePee4Prez]

I could forsee myself in maybe as maybe a state rep/senate or maybe in PA-13 Congressional district.  I know a statewide or Presidential election I would get slaughtered.  I could not win in the South and would have trouble even relating to New Englanders.

Handzus,

You know I like you personally, but you have a couple of major personality flaws that would KILL you in the world of politics. The most important one is that you are whimsical...I have seen you change your mind on issues and people from hour to hour, let alone day to day!!! Also, for better or for worse, your kind of "labor union" politics is pretty much at an end in the United States, even in the Democratic Party. The other big personality flaw is the same one I have...you have a tendency to be a little mean spirited from time to time...which is a reflection on our backgrounds as much as anything, but it still hurts you in political circles BEFORE you gain power. Once you have power, then you can open things up a little, but I think you would have a problem holding your temper.

Whimsical???  I don't think I am.  Temper maybe.  I see a little of Howard Dean in me.  i'm very bulleaded.

Mark, you never really hit on my strengths.   Just thought I'd point that out.

[TeePee4Prez]

Is that all you have to say for me, though?

Supersoulty,

No, far from it, but you just asked for the negatives. The positives are that you have an outstanding grasp of the issues and you have this natural demeanor that makes people want to like you. You would find a lot of support from those in your own party, and would even have crossover appeal if you were able to express yourself in person the way you express yourself on paper. Seriously, the only thing holding you back would be that self-confidence issue.

I think that your words have helped.  

Supersoulty,

And it's a real gift that you have when I say that people "want to like you"

That's a great positive in life. I have a variation on that in my personality...people either LOVE me or HATE me...and there are generally very few people in between. I was literally the most POPULAR person AND most HATED person in my entire High School...both at the same time.

Hehe, I was too.  One of the most hated and one of the most liked.

God, you didn't ask for those either...LOL

I would say that you're biggest strength is your passion for making a difference. People can tell when a politician is just going through the motions or when he really, truly cares about the issues and his job. Your passion and enthusiam would be your biggest strength. You're not as "up" on the issues as someone like John Ford or Supersoulty, but you THINK you are, and that is often enough in modern politics, especially in your party where your base is less educated and less involved in daily politics. You have a real confidence that what you are saying is right...even if you do have a tendency to take a different position only a few hours later...LOL

Thanks.  Thing is you didn't answer why you think I'm whimsical?  It seems like that word or "flip-flop" is becoming casually used to describe someone that doesn not agree with them.

Handzus,

OK, here's just one example. A few weeks ago, you spent several posts telling me how the extreme social leftists were ruining the Democratic Party and how the Democratic Party would be much better off if it went back to its "blue collar" roots rather than than today's "green roots"

I AGREED WITH YOU...then a few hours later, you are practically fellating Migrendel (actually that might be a poor choice of words where he's concerned) and telling him how great his social leftist wing of the party is. THAT IS A FLIP FLOP....then when I pointed it out to you, you went into the "2+2=5" routine that Democrats use these days to try and tell me that I didn't see what I really saw. That's just one example.

I think he is too socially left even for me, but I am generally left wing and being such is what I agree witha s well.  As you can see with regards to my score I'm more socailly left than economci as well, but my ROUGH formula is .65 economic + .35 social = how i view things!  I'll be a little more concrete.  I'll still stick with economcis beings in a lrger tent for teh Dems, but social can not be scrapped.
