Reply #60: You know what...When Howard Dean Wins the nomination, and [View All]

[xultar]

begins the campaign for the general election I'm gonna laugh my head off.

Why?

1. Howard Dean is actually slightly to the Right of Clark over all
2. For Howard Dean to win he will have "move" (BTW it's only a myth that he is far left)closer to the center What will you do then? Vote for Nader? (but you got what you wanted Dean won the nomination)
3. Howard Dean cannot not beat Bush.

I'm so disgusted with what I see around here on a daily basis. It is OK for everyone and I mean EVERYONE to bash Clark. No one however, may say anything negative about Dean. People here can post unsubstanciated bullshit about Clark and his supporters (Clark supporters steal from the Democratic Party) but when a poster posts something truthful (published) about Dean (speaking specifically about the poll numbers on Sunday from Reuters and Yahoo!) all of the Dean supporters went APE SHIT.

Why is that? Why do Dean supporters get so upset when they hear anything negative about Dean? Doesn't he make any mistakes? Hasn't he done anything wrong? Can't you at least take an objective look at Dean? So wha'ts going in here, is it because you are young and still idealistic? Do you still believe that you can have your heads in the clouds and work in the world as it is today? I thought that also, till I got out there and had to pay the house note, the guy to cut the grass, my property taxes. Artists can be noble but they still have to eat, pay for supplies, and pay Rent & utilities. Eventually reality rears its ugly head. (My ex is a photographer so I know a lot about the "arty farty" who want to suffer for the cause routine.)

I'm getting the impression that if you don't support Dean then you're not liberal enough for DU. OK, I'll buy that. You want DU the way it used to be? Well you can have it, I'm done as of today. Just know that you're no different than the radical right intolerant of others, intolerant of new ideas, unable to compromise, unwilling to change.

It's such a shame when such a small group can push the majority out of the Party.
