Reply #65: democrats suck, bush is cool, and I think we should vote republican [View All]

[The Straight Story]

Now - I don't really think the above of course :) but suppose I came on here, new to the board perhaps, and made it known I was a repug while trashing clintons, clarke, edwards, etc.

Even those who did not like those candidates would come to their defense and that of the party in general.

We might be really diverse here, and we all have our 'pet' dems, but we sure as hell stick together against those on the outside attacking us. We protest together, email together, etc.

Our system and elected leaders are not perfect by any stretch. But our people in government, in both parties, stand by the group as a whole when a part of it is attacked.

I can see why pelosi and rangel jumped the way they did. They don't love bush, but they see him as the president for now and know full well dems have voted with him on some issues, and they work each day in the government and are a part of the big wheels on this bus. This is our country, our government, and as a whole we may not like all the folks in it, but that is our internal business and not for some guy to come over here and start yapping. If they let him pass on it they may well feel it makes us all look weak.

We stand up for fellow americans, even when it sometimes makes no sense to do so. It is just a natural reaction, one I see here daily (I mean, come on - kerry was the root of all evil and allowed bush to steal the election and kill more people in wars....according to some anyway, but let a repug come on here and start blasting him and we will tell em to get lost and point out the log in their eye.)
