How about Max Cleland as the new head of the Democratic National Committee |
|
He probably doesn't even want the job, but he's a living, breathing symbol of what BushCo has done to our electoral system, our honor and our decency.

3. Yes, this sounds like a great idea. Max Cleland could bring more |
|
military into the Democratic Party. And he is a fine example of what the Republicans are doing to the Democratic Party (lies, smears and slander of our candidates).

We should definitely have two leaders to handle the monstrous tasks ahead.
Cleland has experience and can bring in Southerners and military. Dean is a great fundraiser and can prove that pro-vetaran and pro-military doesn't have to mean pro-war. Young people and the angry anti-war crowd love Dean.

6. Ann Coulter has vilified and slandered him. What better credentials |
|
Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 05:29 PM by Cyrano
could one ask for?
Picture BushCo and their allies spending the next few years spewing their venom at Max Cleland.
At some point, people will begin to recognize them for what they are: diseased fugitives from the sewers of some fascist hell.

11. We don't need a symbol. |
|
We need a chairman, and in that regard, he's no better than many being discussed. I'm against 'tokenism', thank you.

14. Sorry, Cuban_Liberal, but if you're going to shoot down a suggestion, |
|
it seems to me that you should have an alternative suggestion.

Just because I don't think Person A isn't the best person for a job imposes no obligation on me, morally or otherwise, to state that Person B is.

FWIW, as a minority, I also resented the hell out of the blatant 'tokenism' behind the suggestion in the O/P itself.

21. If you need me to explain it,... |
|
... then you don't get it. If, after having posted the offending portion of the quote, you still cannot comprehend where the 'tokenism' is in the statement, then it is beyond my power to further enlighten you.

Thank you for not enlightening me.
But what in the hell makes you think you know my color, creed, national origin, desires, hopes, prejudices, preferences, beliefs, or any other attribute that you have evidently assigned to me in your mind?
I not only find your inferences insulting, I find them despicable.How dare you insult my integrity and character without knowing anything about me? I take your attack personally and I find it beyond the pale.
On edit: On top of everything I've just said, you've apparently succeeded in killing a topic that may have been of interest to many people who are not willing to put up with the bullshit that's been flying around in the past half dozen postings. Congrats for killing what was perhaps a useful idea.

the last dozen or so postings and chime in on your opinion about Max Cleland as the next leader of the DNC. I'd really like to hear your opinions.
