Okay, time for a few Democratic oaths?

[Cyrano]

The Thugs are hot on taking various oaths to their totally insane values.

How about we Democrats took a few oaths:

How about we took an oath to not vote for Obama if he betrays us on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid?

How about we took an oath not to vote for him if he betrays unions?

How about we took an oath not to vote for him until he stands up to the Thugs and actually defends and protects the historic, humane principles of the Democratic Party?

I know that most of us are not much on the "oath" bullshit. But what if ...?

Isn't it time we asked our "leader" to lead?

1. I hate oaths so much I won't even take an oath against future oaths.

:P

[awoke_in_2003]

15. but will you take an oath...

not to take an oath on future oaths (this should get ridiculous soon :))

[Uben]

2. What if we do what we want and you take the oath?

Just because the republicans are doing something, you want us to? Look how it's working for the republicans! Nah, I'll just keep on doin what I'm doin. The republicans don't like it, so it must be right.

3. How about we support the Democratic President

and stop with the bs?

4. I Swear!

[emulatorloo]

5. How about we not do that. Forkboy said it best

[uppityperson]

6. Unrec. talk is cheap on the internets.Why should we need to take oaths. No thank you.

Isn't it time we asked the followers to follow?

[Cyrano]

8. Nobody asked you to take any oath. Try reading the OP again.

[uppityperson]

10. "how about we took an oath". That part? That part that is repeated several times?

That's not asking my to take an oath? Oh.

[still_one]

7. Why should I? I will wait and see what the landscape looks like, and make my decision then /nt

[Cyrano]

9. The OP is not asking for any kind of stupid, fucking oath.

Read it again.

[uppityperson]

11. Since "How about we took an oath" is written 3 times, seems like it is.

Maybe you need to clarify rather than cussing us out? Maybe what you are meaning isn't clear.

[Cyrano]

14. Good Point, uppityperson, but that is not the intent.

Thanks for cluing me in, but it's too late to change it.

My point is that we don't need no stinkin' oaths. What we need is leadership.

Evidently I was not clear enough about that.

[uppityperson]

16. what we need is politicians who won't block things automatically due to party or race

I think you can edit for an hour after OP

[guruoo]

17. What the OP appears to be doing is 'working for the defeat' ...

'You are not permitted to use this message board to work for the defeat of the Democratic Party
nominee for any political office. If you wish to work for the defeat of any Democratic candidate
in any General Election, then you are welcome to use someone else's bandwidth on some other website.'

19. One could more validly say that about Obama, he is the one doing the damage.

Not those that want him to be a Democrat like he said he would be, perhaps you should try to have him banned rather than someone that tells the truth?

[guruoo]

20. I didn't know he was a member. nt

[saras]

12. The only oaths I'll take are torn from the lips of dying pirates and brigands...

Besides, oaths rely on loyalty, which isn't a Democratic feature. How about a binding legal contract as to what it means to be a member of the Democratic party?

[ZombieHorde]

13. We're liberals. We should be doing Satanic Blood Vows, not oaths. nt

[guruoo]

18. How about we read the rules...

'You are not permitted to use this message board to work for the defeat of the Democratic Party
nominee for any political office. If you wish to work for the defeat of any Democratic candidate
in any General Election, then you are welcome to use someone else's bandwidth on some other website.'
