What's with all the recent black and white thinking on DU? [View All]

[Stinky The Clown]

The endless and mostly pointless IWR threads.

The threads about not voting for someone if they were not born with a donkey sticking out of their ass.

The threads about this one or that one being the *only* choice for 2008.

The world just ain't black and white, yanno.

Some gems from the recent past .......

********
"I won't vote for anyone who voted for the IWR'. Yeah, okay, whatever. No, that's not a pass, but geez, give it a rest.
********

********
"I won't support anyone who hasn't been a Democrat for all their lives." And yet, there are endless threads about what a great guy Jim Webb is and what an ogre Wesley Clark is. For what its worth, I like BOTH these guys. A lot. But look around and study. Clark's generally pretty liberal, no matter what 'some people' around here would wish to show otherwise. Jim Webb, an *actual* former Republican, is going to give many of us fits as he starts doing whatever it is he plans to do as a Senator. I suspect, in the final analyis, Clark will prove to be a true lefty and Webb will be what he's always been .... and independent man with varied views that cover the spectrum of political thought.

Getting past these two names, I have to ask ....... how can anyone be so exclusionary and wary and endlessly suspicious that they would discount anyone who ever voted for the wrong guy twenty years ago? People evolve and views change. Get used to it.

********
"<Insert hero du jour here> is the ONLY person who can win in 08!" Give me a break. Not ONE of us here knows what will turn the election in the 08 season. We don't even know who's running. And in the final analysis, who EVER runs as the Dem nominee will be head and shoulders better than anyone who will run on the Republic Party ticket.

Of late, there seems to be much more in the way of mental masturbation than substance.

Go ahead ... flame away ..... I'll be out hanging my Snoopy lights on the front of the house .........
