Why Aren't There More Positive DU threads on Democratic Leaders?

[AuntPatsy]

Obviously research is needed, obviously not falling lock and step is how it should be, makes us stand out but honestly, after going backwards through DU threads attempting to look for positive views about the dems I found little, I don't believe they are all that bad, even in the latest news section it seems to be all about bush and little about what the Dems are up to, I seriously doubt they are doing nothing at all, is their not only a blackout of positive stories about dems from the media, but du as well?

Surely we if we try could dredge up some good reasons for voting Dem? Important issues that need attention are a must and one I visit DU just to be able to learn about them but I just don't think it would hurt to attempt to research a bit harder positive stories about our Dems, I'm sorry but I can't believe there are so little of them to be had even if the msm ignores them, we should not.

DNC Condemns Rep. King (top Giuliani adviser) for saying there are too many Mosques in the U.S.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3536487

….had to put this one, its important and the dnc is aware even if the msm is not reporting on this, a few days ago we had a shooting in my city at a Mosque, this should not be ignored. A very dangerous statement and one I just saw addressed by the DNC. And I have been reading du for a couple of days now, so much gets missed that is important and that some dems are attempting to bring to light, it is not their fault the message gets lost, in this case I would say it is ours.

Howard Dean's 50-State Strategy Pays Off

1. I am going to push his thread up only once simply because some

of these threads I feel are worth taking a look at , I liked Biden's statement on the Sentate's failure to restore Habeau Corpus, something we should not let go unnoticed. I just can't believe how many issues are hitting us these days, it is at times overwhelming so I can't blame people for losing patience with all politicians these days...

My God, even the freepers should be scared at what this administration has done to this country and hold their fake outrage against anything liberal in check and help stop these monsters from destroying our country for good....

2. k and r,

Thanks, Patsy, for doing the hard work and collating some of the positive threads.

:thumbsup:

3. Your welcome, I just felt it was needed. I wasn't aware of the DNC denouncing

that comment by the repub about too many Mosques in this country. It must have been what pushed someone to shoot at the one in my city a couple of days ago, that particular Mosque has many young children that attend, proof to me that people in the spotlight should be careful about sending the wrong messages to obvious extremists whom apparently reside right here at home. That politician was out of line and if you read that thread he has yet to appologize.
