WARTIME - not a time to give away ammunition
I'll argue with my wife when she gets home, or my neighbor later tonight.

But I know how they are voting- they are not swing or undecideds - they will vote for Kerry no matter what happens between now and Nov.2

I've pulled back or self-deleted several posts that expressed anger, pessimism, or negative ideas about Kerry and Edwards in the last several weeks. Its my choice, I don't feel bad, less free, or compromised.

In this battle I have chosen to speak out against our team when I know there isn't a chance that my words could be used to turn or sway any voters. I do not want a single vote to be swayed for * because I felt the need to rant or post or postulate on DU.

Fuck Bush - Nobody comes near the evil that this regime represents.

1. Good point.
I suppose it is all right to suppress your own free speech. Others here will disagree and as has been discussed here before, some wouldn't mind seeing the Dems fail this time so that the true savior of Democracy, Ralph Nader, could ride to the rescue.

2. Nader backing out would be one feeble attempt to
garner any credibility he ever had
