When You See Your Candidate Attacked (here on DU) Do You....

[THUNDER HANDS]

1. Question whether your are supporting the right person and take another look over their resume. The attacks make you wonder about your candidate.

or

2. Strengthen your resolve to keep supporting your man until the last vote is counted. The attacks don't mean anything to you.

1. If someone posts a reputable article, I will read the whole thing

And then decide for myself. I don't dismiss substantial remarks out of hand on ANY of my favorites.

6. What JP said . . .

and I dismiss the smears on *all* the candidates.

[Trajan]

2. I dont have one candidate ...

I have six ....

ALL of them Democrats ....

3. depends

i'm pretty comfortable with the person i support . i know he isn't perfect, but he has a great record and i like him very much. so i usually don't question my support, but i do accept criticism of him. but if it's things like skull and bones i usually ignore it.

4. At this point petty and meaningless

You should know your candidate and the arguments against your candidate from others by now. If you don't, then you're new to your candidate and trying to catch a wave.

5. Define "attack" (nt)

[THUNDER HANDS]

9. attacks are non-substantative arguments

For example: Kerry was skull and bones; Clark killed innocent people on purpose when he bombed Kosovo; Dean is too short to be president; Edwards has a mole on his lip.

7. I respect the opinon of many DU posters but I always consider the source.

8. Normally I heave a sigh

because I dont attack back, I could if I wanted to but I dont. Ive done it a few times probably but mostly I am on the defensive.
