Poll question: Will we stop acting like children?
Edited on Wed Dec-10-03 03:37 PM by Bleachers7
C'mon people. We don't need these pissy slap fights (which I have been a part of in the past.) Dennis Kucinich said it best yesterday. Let's talk about the issues that affect people. I would really like to know how Dean, Clark's and Liebermans positions on vouchers compare. It would be great to know if DK's Iraq plan is doable (which from a high level I think it's not).
:kick: Go Dems

1. Give me facts, please!
I want to KNOW how the candidates stand on issues. I want to be able to articulate the positions of all the candidates on issues such as national security and health care. Each candidate has some good ideas, and I hope that something from each one of them is placed in the party platform.

2. Amen
DU is beginning to read like a Democratic Rush forum. All insults, no meat.

4. Isn't there a "no" choice?
Fact of the matter is, on these forums, we will NEVER stop acting like children.

6. Great topic Bleachers7!!!!
This is how we must evolve if we hope to avoid sinking into fascism.

We must debate issues -- not polls, fundraising, or who made the latest gaffe.

7. I'll take your plea for civility more seriously
when you have a history of behaving with said civility under your belt.

13. Sometimes
saying things cost you. Sometimes it's respect, sometimes it's money.

22. Actually I am referring to me.
Edited on Wed Dec-10-03 04:36 PM by Bleachers7
And stuff that has happened with me recently. As far as you and cash, I tried logging into paypal and forgot my password. I will try again tonight. There is a pledge there in my name.

Edit: You know what's funny? I put up a poll about playing nice and 20 people vote. If it said Clark or Dean there would be 200 votes by now. This shows our mindset. I am disturbed by the discourse here today. This is as bad as before the new rules. The anti-Dean people are really fired up. Some of the Deanies are as nasty as ever.

23. My apologies....
...I'm on edge because I'm disappointed in the fundraiser and felt hurt by what you said.

I'm going to delete what I said because I feel like an ass for having said it. This, coupled with the aforementioned disappointment, still doesn't excuse my rude behavior.

15. My thoughts exactly...we need to focus on beating BFEE and Co. Inc
not each other...
I want to hear more from ALL the Democratic candidates, on many issues, not just the ones the wrong-wing-controlled, radically wrong media think we oughtta hear...
