The group Progressive Democrats of America hope to send a message to President Barack Obama by organizing people to vote for “uncommitted” in the Iowa Democratic caucuses.
“I believe we need an inside outside strategy,” Tim Carpenter, the founder of the group, said at an organizing meeting in Des Moines this week. “We’re not asking everybody in this room to vote for Barack Obama. We’re not voting for Barack Obama. We’re organizing uncommitted slates to go to the caucus on Tuesday to challenge Barack Obama because he gave up on his promise to single payer [health care]. He took too long to get troops out of Iraq. There’s still troops in Afghanistan. And we need a financial transaction tax.”
Other groups, including the recently launched “Occupy Iowa Caucus” campaign, also plan to vote for “uncommitted” as a way of expressing their disappointment with Obama.
“We are a broader movement, inside and outside the Democratic party,” Carpenter said. “So as we move the conversation today, we’re not asking you to go to any caucus to vote for Barack Obama, we’re asking you to go to challenge him both inside and outside the caucuses, I want to make that clear.”
Ralph Nader has also insisted that a Democrat should challenge Obama in a primary election to force him to adopt more progressive positions.

They are NOT Progressives! Tim Carpenter is from Orange County, the biggest Right Wing area of CA! Going against President Obama at this time of TERRIBLE TURMOIL, would be THROWING US TO THE REPUBLICAN WOLVES! If they don’t know that they are too stupid to be in ANY position of political power! They need to see the BIG picture of what could happen to the people of the USA, should a Republican get into office! It will be a KOCH BROTHER’S PARADISE! The Kochs have ALREADY stopped the government from making progress! As BAD as it is now in the US, it will become MUCH WORSE! THE KOCHS OWN/CREATED THE TEA PARTY WHO HAVE RUINED THE COUNTRY! DO WE WANT ANOTHER BUSH/CHENEY DISASTER? THESE SO-CALLED PREOGRESSIVES ARE SPOILED, SELFISH BRATS WHO WERE MOST LIKELY PAID OFF BY THE KOCHS TO BE SPOILERS! THEY WANT MONEY AND ATTENTION AT THE EXPENSE OF THE COUNTRY THAT WILL BE TRASHED ONCE AGAIN BY THE RIGHT WING! THE COUNTRY CAN’T STAND ANOTHER ASSAULT OF THE SCALE OF THE BUSH/CHENEY REGIME! REPUBLICANS ARE OUT TO KILL US, PLAIN AND SIMPLE! LOOK WHAT HAPPENED IN 2010 THE REPUBLICANS LIED ABOUT CREATING JOBS, AND THEY CREATED NONE! DO YOU REALLY WANT TO RUN THE RISK OF HAVING THEM DOING THE SAME AND WORSE? DON’T FALL FOR THESE FAUX PROGRESSIVES; THEY WILL ONLY HELP THE REPUBLICAN AGENDA OF RACISM, POLLUTION, DEREGULATION, AND HATE! GOD HELP US!
