I don't think many here actually care about Stupak & his amendment |
|
Nobody here has said they are going to challenge Stupak in the upcoming primary nor have I read any post where the person says they are actively searching for or donating time and/or money to any organization attempting to recruit a possible candidate to oppose him.
Stupak, as far as I know, will run unopposed in this year's primary. My guess is that he'll get about 60% of the vote in the fall general election. Limiting oneself to making angry posts about Stupak here or at any other forum will do nothing to change that.

1. Pay attention to the Stupaks and other "Blue Dogs" |
|
They're not your friends. They'll vote against your best interests every time.
It funny. At least the GOP candidates will tell you straight up that they'll vote against your interests.
A "Blue Dog" will campaign as if he/she is a radical, anti-corporatist, tree-hugging eco-warrior, then vote with the Repubs every damn time.
RECOGNIZE THEM. CALL THEM TO ACCOUNT. Then primary their asses if they don't act like they campaign.

2. You are making an assumption ... |
|
based on facts not in evidence. You see the angry posts here. You do not necessarily see or know what individuals do off the board, or what others who do not post here are doing. You are welcome to your opinion, but an opinion is better informed if it is based on facts and not merely assumptions. Didn't your first grade teacher ever say, "When you assume, you make and ass of U and Me?" If not I guess education has failed us again.
I may be planning to take some action to help defeat Stupak, but you wouldn't know it because I haven't told you. And based on your attitude I don't feel like sharing.

5. What do you base your opinion on? |
|
You planning on doing some action doesn't mean that many here are doing the same.

10. I may not be planning an action ... |
|
either way how would you know? I don't know what others here are planning either because I have not asked them. That is the point. In the absence of information you cannot state an assumption and expect it to have any validity. It is like pulling nothing from a void. Can you also read words from a blank sheet of paper?:shrug:
Either way, I'm tired and I'm leaving this vicinity.

3. Well, I guess that settles it. |
|
You have thoroughly proven that no one here on DU cares about the Stupak Amendment at all.
Where are your posts recruiting candidates BTW? Do you also not care?

7. I didn't say what you said I did in your first sentence. |
|
As for your question, I probably care as much as you do.

9. Actually, I'm gonna guess that you care about it more |
|
than I do. And OK, your post title says "many", not "all." But the body of your post uses a broad brush to try and make your point.

6. If you cared about us, you'd have posted the text of the amendment |

8. While I said "many", that doesn't mean no one cares. |
