Rejecting Candidates, Not The Party, and an Open Debate

[ThomWV]

Many of the people who visit here have over 1,000 posts to their credit. One presumes they are mostly Democrats and that they will support the Party's choice as its Nominee for President when the time comes. That does not mean that they have to or might even be expected to support everyone in the Party who would like to be that Nominee.

Many of us feel strongly that one or another of the would-be candidates is not well suited to the job. Some of us see form over substance in a few of them, some of us see outright hostility to beliefs we hold dear coming from others. We do and should continue to express how we feel about the ones we support as well as the ones we do not support. Our arguments for and against one or another of the would be candidates will be accepted or rejected by this greater audience and that done here, out in the open, for all to see. Facts will be presented, misinformation exposed, and views will change. Its how a better formed opinion gets formed, and that my dear friends, is a very good thing. So don't be too harsh on someone who doesn't care for your choice of Candidate for the Nomination. See what they have to say, see if their opnion is based on fact or fiction, give 'em hell if they get it wrong.
