If you want to talk racist remarks/actions by the candidates...
Edited on Sat Jan-31-04 05:39 PM by wyldwolf
...or such remarks/actions that have been percieved as racist by the candidates running, then you're opening a big can of worms that might embarass you about YOUR guy running for the nomination.

I've seen a few threads on this so...

Tread lightly...

6. Look at the big thread going on racist jokes now...
Edited on Sat Jan-31-04 05:43 PM by wyldwolf
... who does the original poster support?

But he isn't the ONLY candidate.

Just be careful. These are all older white guys running (except Sharpton.)

8. Is there ANY Democrat
likely to do anything as racist as appointing a judge who approves of cross-burning?

This sniping is both counter-productive and silly..

10. Right, and as I've always said...
If you criticize a candidate for something, I'm sure your boy has done something similar!

9. So in other words "Dont ask, Dont tell."
:eyes:

I think its better for us all if we know the truth about our own candidates, good or bad.

It can only hurt more if the other side tells about it first.

11. not exactly... but...
... during the heated Dean vs. Clark wars here from months past, bringing any dirt to light was equated with "doing Rove's work for him."

I'm just here to warn the "Kerry is a racist" crowd that their guy probably is, too, if the same standards are applied.

14. I dunno
I think things like this just encourage more of the "circular firing squad" mentality that seems to plague the party these days. We need to stop eating our own and fight the real enemy: Bush.

15. I agree
This sniping isn't getting us anywhere. We're all on the same side here. It's time to circle the wagons and, as you said, fight the real enemy. It's time to take our country back. It's almost too late.
