WASHINGTON (AP) -- Presidential candidate Howard Dean may have his own Ben & Jerry's sundae, but one of his Democratic rivals got the endorsement of his home state's ice cream company founder.
Ben Cohen, who with Jerry Greenfield founded Ben & Jerry's Homemade ice cream in Burlington, Vermont, said Friday that he is supporting Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio.

Dean will be honored Monday by the "Maple Powered Howard" sundae...Well, Dean is a sap.
To: lainie
Ben and Jerry are backing Kucinich to thwart Dean. The Ben and Jerry idiot is doing this to send a signal to "progressive" voters than Kucinich is their man, this is right out of Kerry's headquarters. The party, as a whole, is trying to get behind Kerry.
Expect Kerry and possibly Graham as veep on the Rat ticket--they think they found JFK and Lyndon. It is total horsecrap!

They can't possibly expect that Kerry would beat GWB? Can they?

Well, since I'm not in Vermont (thank God), there's one less flavor of B&J's for me to ignore.

In the upcoming democratic primary (2004) ...
BIG AL NEEDS OUR HELP! - Register as a democrat and vote for Crazy Al!
Rev. Al Sharpton is officially running for president in 2004.
During the May 3, 2003 demoncrap debate in Columbia, S.C., our man Al stated The way to move a donkey is to slap the donkey, and Im going to slap the donkey until the donkey kicks.
Lets help Crazy Al slap the donkey until it kicks.
Assume GW has the Republican nomination sewn up. Its time for all good republicans, libertarians, and independents to stand up and be counted. Lets take a page from Sen. McCains play book. Prior to the 2004 democratic presidential primary in your state, re-register as a democrat and vote for Al Sharpton!
Wouldnt it be great if Crazy Al won! At the very least, lets ensure he gets prime time speaking rights at the 2004 nationally televised democratic convention. You gotta love it. Line up, sign up, and send this to all your like-minded friends.
Here is a link to planned 2004 primary dates from the National Association of Secretaries of State:

Check here for the rules governing primary voting in your state:

In case youd like to send Big Al a donation:

Anyone need a bumper sticker or button?

How about an Al Sharpton yard sign?

Oh yea, and dont forget to call the local demoncrap party headquarters and ask them the following before the primary election:
1. Can I get a ride to the polls help them spend their money during the primaries so theyll have less during the national election. Have them take you the scenic route and stop off and do some shopping on the way home.
2. Are you giving anything away free for voting democrat? Cigarettes, box of cigars, box lunch, etc. Ask for two of each.
3. Send 25 cents in the mail to the DNC and watch how much they spend on mailing you to give to the party. Always send their solicitation back to them with all associated literature in the prepaid envelope included in the mailing. They have to pay that postage upon return. Great way to help them spend money and keep you up to date on their propaganda.
