I do not open threads that tear down a Dem candidate.

[Bozita]

It just seems counterproductive.

If you're in on the Dem bashing, keep in mind that you'll likely see your points exploited in an ad during the campaign...the presidential one.

Scorched-earth, internecine suicide.

Nothing more, nothing less.

1. Thank Jesus for some sanity.

Right on Bozita.

[ComerPerro]

2. Now what you should have done

Was rip every candidate to shreds.

I think that would have been funny.

[Myra]

9. Actually that would have been funny ComerPerro

Heh heh.

But back to the main topic, I agree Bozita.
Good post.
Bump.

3. Well said.

How many Dem bashers have forgotten our mantra "ANYONE BUT BUSH"?

[Forkboy]

4. I do

I have learned more about the candidates from the people defending them than from the people trashing them.

[Evanstondem]

5. Good for you

If only I was as good a person as you are. At least I don't usually reply after I open them.

[caledesi]

6. I have stopped doing this as well - non-productive.

7. The Selling of the Candidate, 2004

How are you going to counter sales objections if you're uninformed about what you're selling? You don't want the general election to be the first time that you heard some of these objections, do you? If you're going to convince people to support our candidate, there's no substitute for being familiar with all the pluses and minuses.

And ... don't underestimate the ability of the opposing party to dig up dirt on its own. Bush has a huge war chest to spend on digging things up. Remember the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy? It's still there.

[imhotep]

8. so your idea of politics

is a circle jerk?

[ComerPerro]

11. Not exactly

But if I want to read negative shit about people on our side, people that we should be backing, I will go to Free Republic or watch TV news.

[waywest]

10. Quite agree!

While staying out of the junior high, I will save a lot of valuable time.
It's been pretty sucky lately.
