The fighting whining bitter Clark/Kerry/Dean people make me want Gore!

Geez will you people cut it the hell out? I frankly think some of you are freepers here to be disruptive but unfortunately some of you are long time DUers. You may not believe this, but people considering your candidate can get turned off to him/her by your behavior.

I am an unabashed Gore fan. Anyone who bashes him because of his endorsement automatically looses a few points for their candidate in my mind. Anyone who makes only snide remarks about other democrats and adds nothing positive looses point for their candidate. It's not concious, it probably isn't fair, but it is what happens. I am trying to like your candidates-BUT YOU ARE MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT.

Anyone who thinks it is clever to dismiss DK, Mosely-Braun and Sharpton as a "side show" or says they have no chance and should get out loses points. Who is anyone here to dismiss these candidates? We are all a bunch of people sitting at our computers, which one of us accomplished anything near what these "side show" candidates have done?

If you find that other followers of your candidate are indulging in this divisive behavior, shut them up. It is possible to shame people into behaving. If someone has 50 posts and all of them are snide remarks about Gore/Dean/Clark etc.... hit the alert. Let's get rid of them.

If someone posts consistantly dishonest thread about a candidate, don't come back with a sarcastic remark. Show them the truth or ignore the thread altogether. If you have nothing to add you are doing nothing more than kicking the pathetic thread back to the top.

1. I have called down Dean supporters...

... who make blatantly inappropriate/unfair/untrue remarks about other candidates. Sadly, I see very little of that happening. Fair comment---- even tough, fair comment--- is fair comment, but surely some of you supporters of other candidates recognize outrageous distortions of the truth made by your fellow supporters, don't you? If so, why do you remain silent about them?

Good post! :thumbsup:
