Should There Be a Forum For Democrats To WHINE In?
Should there be a forum specifically for democrats to criticize democratic politicians in, without getting called freepers?

I think it might be a good idea, as it would keep the GD2004 devoid of any threads that get people really pissed off, and I do think there should be a place where its safe to question our own candidates without being ridiculed about it. That's the great thing about being a democrat after all! :)

4. Constructive Criticism is one thing
But taking on defeatist positions by saying shit like "ohhhh we're gonna lose now cause Kerry isn't being as tough as I want him to be" ect crap just annoys the shit outta me.

Also demanding that he put issues like Aids ahead of Terrorism, the Economy, ect is just plain dumb. Look who doesn't want to stop Aids? who doesn't want to help those infected? Who doesn't wish they could just wave a magic wand and cure all of Africa of that horrible virus? but the problem is if Kerry makes that centerpiece of his platform he'd get shredded get it? you'd have Karl Rove working Bush's strings to say "Mah opponent apparently cares nothing of the starving and dying children HERE in America. He feels it's in our best interest to protect children abroad before focusing on the starving children which are the results of my, I mean Bill Clinton's policies...yea"

5. that might be a good idea.
the other sites I hang on are mostly music sites and they usually have a rant room. Cause on the main forum if you like criticize the musicians outfit or hair or something it could be just innocent but everyone yells TROLL. So there is a rant room where people can post their rants and the rules are a little less strict about posting. Cause you know even if you love an artist or something sometimes you just have to vent (or rant).
