A Compliment to My Fellow DUers
I've never started a thread before, so I hope I'm doing this right.

I've noticed recently that the tone of candidate discussions has risen considerably. For most, it seems to have moved beyond the "F*** anybody who isn't my candidate" line to a serious discussion where people are stating their views and listening to the views of others.:toast:

Maybe as a community of people that man coulter thinks are traitors, we're coming together and realizing that the only TRUE enemy is the cheyney bush junta. :puke:

That which unites us is MUCH greater than that which divides us. :grouphug:

Any D over any r in '04! :dem: :bounce: :kick:

1. I Agree
I think there has been an informal coalescing of the progressives
everywhere. It's almost like a spontaneous think tank to make up
for all the control of the media the right has gained.
welcome to Du. Peace baby!

2. We got a bigger fight to win in the end
Everybody can bicker, piss and moan all they want, but when it comes November '04 we all have to come together. My opinion is bashing gets regressive in a hurry, but healthy debate opens minds and creates positive dialogue. Nobody will ever convince me to change my vote by insulting my candidate(Kucinich), but if they can win me over in a positive discussion then so be it. I like all of our candidates for a variety of reasons. When it comes showtime, I'll be voting for a democrat and proud to do so.

Sure, we all rip each others candidates, however,in the next year the issue will be settled after a couple good dust ups and then we have to ride it out and beat the Chimp.

5. For never having started a thread before
you did a mighty fine job!
:toast:

Keep our eyes on the prize because the fate of the world depends upon it and this time it's no exaggeration. Look what he has done when he is facing the prospect of re-election. Can you imagine what they have planned for the next four years?!?!

18. Well just f**k anybody who isn't my candidate!
Hey folks...let's get the invective back up to good ol' GD levels.
This thread is so cordial I think it really belongs in the Lounge.
hee
;-)
Nice job MarianJack.
Welcome to the ranks of the non-lurkers.

21. Here's Some Invective!
DON'T YOU JUST HATE HAVING A PRESIDENT WHO WOULD LOSE ON "JEOPARDY" TO A DRIED UP PIECE OF MONKEY POO? :dunce:

AND HOW ABOUT A SNEERING VP WHO IS SUCH A WINGNUT THAT HE WAS OPPOSED TO GUN CONTROL LEGISLATION THAT THE FREAKIN'NRA SUPPORTED! :wtf:

i SAY LET'S SEND THESE 2 A**H*L*S BACK TO THE RANCH & THA ICU WHERE THEY BELONG! ALONG WITH RUMMY, WHO PROBABLY SCOWKED ON HIS WEDDING NIGHT! MAYBE HE COULDN'T LAUNCH A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MISSLE! :wow:

Thanks for the welcome, but for my fellow D's, cordial is my rule of the day. I don't like being in firing squads that line up in a circle, so a lovefest it will be from me. :grouphug:

Thanks for the post! :bounce:

Since you're here, I assume that your choice will be a Democrat, so it will be a wise one! :kick: :yourock:

23. We will unite once the candidate is chosen.
In the meantime, I like all of the announced candidates (sans Lieberman) because each exposes Americans to Democratic principles. It is my hope that each candidate's best ideas are
recognized and promoted in the Democratic Party platform.
:kick:

24. You're Right!
I like what ech of them is saying. My big fear with Lieberman is that he would be sooo gentlemanly in a debate with whistle-ass that he would let him get away with any lie he told. He did that with Cheyney & my wife and I nearly fell out of our chairs. :silly:

I think that a platform melding all of the good ideas would be a winner.
