This just in: the candidates are running AGAINST one another

[JeffR]

for the nomination.

Seems self-evident, but apparently it isn't.

Just thought I'd mention it.

[babylonsister]

1. Isn't that the way it's always done, sort of? There are so many people

running, they're trying to weed each other down-and out!

[JeffR]

2. Always figured that's how it works

yet one candidate criticizing another is apparently a novelty. I'm getting in touch with my Political Science profs to complain about how they misled me way back when. Hell, I might sue somebody, if I can persuade Edwards to take my case.

[babylonsister]

3. And if he did, you win!

:thumbsup:

[JeffR]

4. And he can get a new hair-

aw, never mind, I can't say it.

PS - I like Edwards a lot.

5. WHO KNEW!?!

I was fully expecting all Dem candidates to simply state, in respect of every issue, "I fully concur with everything my colleagues say."

So they're going to try and distinguish themselves one from the other?
They're going to DISAGREE on HOW to solve the problems of the nation? They're going to have DIFFERING OPINIONS on what needs to be done, and in what order of priority?

Oh.My.God.

No wonder the MSM invariably casts doubt on our party's ability to march in lock-step and stick to tried-and-true talking points, instead of venturing out into the field of differing viewpoints, differing ideas.

Apparently, all is lost.


Do I really need the :sarcasm: thingy?

[JeffR]

6. It's over.

Step aside for President Fred.

[babylonsister]

8. Bite. Your. Tongue.

:scared:

[JeffR]

9. Better Fred than dead.

On second thought, better dead than Fred.

[blondeatlast]

13. Better bread than Fred.

[babylonsister]

7. That's why that big umbrella is so full of holes; they can't get

their stories or positions straight. Damn them libruls.

[FormerDittoHead]

10. You mean they're not one big TEAM? What's next? Criticizing one candidate over another? Oh NO!

[JeffR]

11. It could happen.

I hope it doesn't, but it could.

[blondeatlast]

12. Discord? Among Democrats? Why, perish the very thought! nt

[bunnies]

14. I love these quasi-cryptic backhanded posts.

Really I do.

edit: typo

[JeffR]

15. I thought it was pretty straightforward

really. Stick with the candidate wars in GDP, you'll see.
