Shocking How Many DU'ers Take Mediawhore's Bait (Dean/Biden/Edwards)
Edited on Sun Jun-05-05 09:35 PM by cryingshame
Nothing any of these fine Democratic gentlemen was out of line.

And yet the mediawhores and GOP try to make it appear there's a divide in the Democratic Party.

What do DU'ers do? THEY SWALLOW THE FREAKING BAIT AGAIN!

Disgusting to see how many DU'ers are taking the Mediawhore's invitation to bash either Dean, Biden or Edwards.

It's the GOP that is undergoing a schism people.

Remember the filibuster?

How much ink was spilled on how the GOP is infighting?

Not much.

But dangle a shiny Democrat bashing object in front of the 'savvy' DU'ers and they go for it every single time.

Concentrate on the Downing Street Minutes and remember it's the GOP that has moderates wanting to defect.

1. Thanks for the reminder
Sometimes I take my eye off the ball. It's good to have someone keep my attention focused on the real problem: Republicans

4. Sounds like Biden and Edwards took the bait
last week they tried to bait Kennedy, didn't work, got only " I would've said it differently" absolutely no retractions. True it was a different Dean statement, but Teddy brushed it off as as semantics.

13. Um, I Watched It And Biden Said...
Dean did not speak for most Democrats. No spin there. I saw the shit.

7. This is just a foretaste of
what the next Dem President can expect if the media remains in the right wing's pocket. The chimp can mangle the English language and lie with impunity and gets a free pass. Dean steps on some repub toes and creates a firestorm. I say bullshit.

8. Try to hide it or not, there is a split in the party and it will all come
out sooner or later. These threads just revealed how deep it is.

9. "Hide" It? How "Deep" It Is? LOL! A Bunch Of Bitter DU'ers Posting Online
is a small number of Democrats.... and most of them are just reacting unthinkingly to bait dangled in front of them.

Just because some DU'ers like to fight and bitch and bash Democrats doesn't mean there's a split.

And I'm sure a certain number of these posters aren't Democrats.

10. Umm, I'm all for the power of positive speaking, but this clearly
was Joe "MBNA" Biden and Edwards pissing on Howard Dean and essentially trying to neuter him.

They are self-serving politicos and inside-the-beltway whores.

11. I'm sorry, but this is just wrong..
.. We have every right to get angry when we finally get a leader with the BALLS to slap the chimp, and what happens, our own party big boys degrade him.. That said, I would still vote for each of these guys over any wishy washy moderate..

I just wish they would watch what they say in public.. We need a united front and fight our battles behind closed doors!

14. Welcome, ValentinoM!
You are right on all counts (still can't stand Biden, but I'll have a Biden sticker on my car if he ever gets the nomination).

:hi:

12. Biden's annoyed me for years.
Don't need the MSM to tell me the guy is an arrogant jerk.
