Anti-Deaners are making me violently ill!! [View All]

[mrgorth]

You know whom I am speaking of. BLM, NewYorkerfromMass, Skwmom, etc (sorry if I misspelled screen names) are typical of this group. Their hatred or jealosy of Dean is so obvious it is rediculous. But why is it pissing me off so damned much? Because I see so little of it in the other direction. I am only speaking of myself here but I NEVER come on here to rip into another candidate. Do I like any of them as much as Dean? No, but neither do I make rediculous charges like the RNC is setting us up for a slam dunk.

Clark: My number 2. I like Clark a lot and if he was to come out with some obscure lefty position like singler payer or mandatory vacation I might switch to him. I am currently leaning towards, get this, a Clark/Dean ticket (Dean as VP).

Kerry: My number 3. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the man and I know he's done great things for the country. That said, yes, the IWR pisses me off and, frankly, Dean's passion has fired me up. I'll happily vote for Kerry if he's anywhere on the ticket and will work my butt of for a ticket with him on it. Also, for as smart and able as he is I still don't think he gets it campaign-wise. He seems to think he can say some nasty things about Dean and steal his thunder. It hasn't worked yet and it's not going to. He should learn this. If he wants to steal Dean's thunder he has to (and this is the tough part) out-Dean Dean. He has to go at Bush harder than Dean. Go into the AWOL stuff, Hart-Rudman, BFEE. True, if he doesn't get the nom. whoever does would then have that ammo to use but shouldn't they have it anyway? This is Kerry's only chance and it's ashame his campaign staff isn't getting it right.

Kucinich: Love to vote for him. Don't think he'll get the nom.

Edwards: I didn't like his IWR vote but I would work for him if on the ticket. I'd prefer his presence on a ticket with an anti-war dude.

Gep: "Stood shoulder to shoulder with the Pres." Yes, this is important to me. Look, I saw his Hardball thing. He seems like a good guy and, again, like Edwards, I'll work for him if he gets the nom but I'd like to see him paired with an anti-war guy.

Lieberman: I'm still not sure I could stomach voting for a ticket with Joe on it, esp. if the other half is pro-IWR. The war was wrong and we shouldn't be there. The anti-war faction of the dems NEEDS to be acknowledged. I'm sorry but Joe is rather conservative. The thing that turned me off the most was Joe's response to a question about health care plans in, I think, the 1st debate where he said (paraphrasing) that we couldn't do health care and had to go step by step. Translation: he thinks health care reform sounds too leftist and it scares him.

I'd happily vote for a ticket with Sharpton of CMB on it but I think Al will use Dean's flag remarks as means of revenge for getting Jesse Jr's endorsement.

WHY then can I, and it seems all Dean supporters, just work for our guy and offer to support the others when needed? Why no charges of RNC conspiracy theories from the Dean folks even when other candidates have supported RNC things like tax cuts and war? I, therefore, make this call to the Dean bashers to just conduct the freaking primaries without making up inane crap. Support your guy. Work for him and if he wins we'll help you. Right now you sound jealous and petty.
