10. Please, please,...
,...please don't do that. If we don't start pulling for the best that we can offer instead of persecuting the worst parts of ourselves,...nothing will change.

Please,...please treat people with a seed of dignity.

19. Sorry…can’t do that….
I hold certain animosities toward a select group: Gephart Lieberman Daschle…

As a patriotic liberal, I feel I can criticize “both” sides of fence verses just one….

:mad:

3. He would make a fine President.
I hope he knows how much Democrats respect and appreciate him.

9. For THAT excellent phrase, I salute him.
And for being able to recognize realities (must be pretty tough for him tonight), I also salute him.

22. Hmmm I am going to have to let others know that idea.
That would be a great unifier act for the party too!

A lot of UAW regions endorsed Gephardt and I as a UAW member believed based on history that he would never be elected as President. Now our UAW leaders need to back whoever becomes the nominee and having Gephardt as Secretary of Labor would give us a lot of satisfaction and would accomplish a lot more than as President.

18. I Would Hope....
...that his ssupporters would join in supporting the eventual nominee, whoever that may be. Back in 2000, I was disappointed when Bill Bradley bowed out, but then I backed Al Gore 100%.

21. You are right, CO Liberal!
I can only speak for myself, but I'm a DEMOCRAT, always and forever. WE will win this election in November! Dick Gephart will wholeheartedly support our nominee, and so will I, and I firmly believe all other Gephart supporters will too.
