If you didn't predict 8, 9 10 months ago that Kerry would be the nominee

[Feanorcurufinwe]

why should your predictions of Kerry's failure have any more value this time?

[Old and In the Way]

1. hahahaha

good one.

[UrbScotty]

2. That's what I want to know. (nt)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. because zealots always over-value their own opinions.

[UpsideDownFlag]

5. in the most non-controversial way possible, just let me say that

some of us here on DU, while supportive of kerry, feel that maybe-just maybe- others like Dean or Clark could have countered his attacks a little better.

not flamebait, just an opinion.

(seriously now, tho- i'd like to see ANYone look a 4-star general in the face and say he cant lead, or doubt his patriotism)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

6. You're right what you said is an opinion

However, the zealots as I call them, would refer to that opinion as if it were truth.

And I'd like to believe no one could question Clark's patriotism either, but they did successfully question the patriotism of a man who lost 3 limbs fighting for our country.

[UpsideDownFlag]

8. true- but that's because clelend (and kerry, until just recently)

were playing 'nice'. i think that dean or clark woulda gone offensive months ago.

[chimpymustgo]

4. LOL. Thanks for the reality check.

[Fionn]

7. The exact same attacks would have been made on Clark

Don't you remember the mutterings in the Primaries about his leadership in Kosovo?

[Catch22Dem]

9. You rule

You get the post of the day, as far as I'm concerned!

[MGKrebs]

10. Flamebait.

Totally non-productive.

Choose to disagree with the pessimistic assessments. Ignore them at your (our) peril.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

11. Well, I disagree with your opinion about what's productive and what's not

OK?

:hi:

[Feanorcurufinwe]

12. By the way, I'm accepting bets

I'm betting Kerry will be inaugurated on January 20 -- who will bet against me?


I need to recoup some of the campaign contributions I've made.

[chimpymustgo]

13. Got fingers crossed. If only we spend as much energy registering

voters, making phone calls, WORKING FOR the campaign...

[rucky]

16. Go to Yahoo if you want to pick a fight

I'm sick of hostility.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

20. I have no desire to pick a fight with anyone and

I don't care if you don't want me here.

:hi:

18. You might as well add me too

Because I'm sick of it, too. I wake up in the morning happy that now matter how much mud W and his minions have thrown on Kerry, Kerry still leads or is tied going into September. I see the massive crowds on the campaign trail who are energized and enthusiastic. But then I come into GD 2004, and all I see are people conceeding the election to W and ripping Kerry for everything from not "fighting" enough to not voting for him on whatever their one-issue litmus test is. I'm sick of it.

I supported Dean in the primaries, but Kerry is the one running for President. And instead of spending all my time whining about why Dean isn't the nominee and threatening to not vote for Kerry because other DU's are being "Mean" to me in telling me that they are sick of this garbage I choose to do everything in my power to make sure a Democrat is elected President and hold his feet to the fire on issues that matter to me once he is.

17. Are we on the SAME TEAM here?

What is up with the continued accusations and smears?

Reminder: Kerry/Edwards '04

19. Why don't you ask that of the poster that started this flamebait thread?
