None of the Democratice candidates is electable,
not one stinkin' one. There, is everyone happy now? I have read so much trash about the candidates, I feel as though I am in Freeperville.

It's Bush*, we want out and I don't think trashing other candidates is productive. Why are we doing the thugs work for them - giving them plenty of ammo? I have said this before, but a lot of you didn't agree, but then a few days ago I read an OPED that mentioned this very issue. Sorry, don't have link.

Karl Rove is taking notes right now and I have suspicions that this is one of the main reasons, OxyRush is sending Freepers to our site.

2. they are all facing the same obstacles
Edited on Fri Jan-02-04 03:37 PM by mopinko
they all face the rove dirty trick machine, and the jillion dollar war chest. that is where our focus should be. instead of bashing each other, we should be the truth squad. we have got to find a way to stop swallowing the spin.

editted for grammer

5. There is so much Bad news on Dean because of Skeletons in the Closet
Edited on Fri Jan-02-04 03:45 PM by Raya
No one wants to put down Dean. There are just tons of problems with the gaps between what he says now, and what he has been in the past, and what he is positioning himself to be, and what he needs to be to beat Bush.

No amount of great speeches and dollar bills are going to change that.

Do you think so? A lot of people who have been following Dean are not convinced at all.

7. The fingers on your hand.....
...alone, as individual fingers, are relatively weak. Your enemy can grab one and break it. But if your clench your fist, those individual fingers form a weapon that allows you to break your enemy. It's that simple. So, if our enemy tricks us into being divided and weak and thinking that George is unbeatable, this country is in big trouble. But if we join together, brothers and sisters, we form a powerful weapon. Treat every democrat with respect.
