Has GD forum become the bash Dean forum?
Christ, everyday I have to read this shit. Post after post.

Stop your whining Kerry and Clark supporters. And start doing something.

They can't beat Dean on ideas, so they attack him instead.

1) Dean's decision, to not use matching funds, had nothing to do with the Democratic Primary but rather to have money in the bank to beat Bush back when he levels his $100 million attack on us. The nomination will be decided by mid-March, your DLC buddy Terry McAuliffe made sure of that. There's no way you can spend $45 million (the actual limit) between January and mid-March. I would recommend that all candidates running for the Democratic Party do the same thing. Otherwise you will drown in the Republican attacks with no way to respond.

2) The flag flap, the convienient indignation of many "friends" here on this board really still unnerves me. Everyone knew what Dean was talking about, yet got up on their high horses for no other reason than to attack the front runner. No wonder so many Democrats become so cynical and leave politics. You can't say anything out of the mainstream without the PC police jumping all over you. I still say he did nothing wrong. And that it really shows what assholes Kerry, Lieberman and Gepthardt really are. And how desperate they've become. And how scared many Clark people here have become that the shining white hope is not so shiny.

You know, when the Lieberman, Gepthardt and Kerry troika, the Washington wedge-issue weasles as I call them, attacked Clark when he entered this race. For not being a "real democrat" for saying "Bush was a great President." I defended him. I defended him so hard that I nearly ended up supporting him. I hate that kind of junk. We have good candidates running. But they seem to want to draw blood on each other. If Dean actually supported racism or something, I would tell him to take a hike. But he doesn't. He was only talking about building a bigger coalition. Everybody knows this. But the W3 (Washington Wedge-Issue Weasles) were all the more willing to pounce on him because they thought they could tarnish him with crap. Clark supporters here were more than willing to follow their lead. Now this campaign financing thing. This will make no difference in the primaries. Everyone should know this. Kerry has almost as much cash as Dean does. Clark may have the potential, too. So it only makes sense that they all do the same thing otherwise, if these past two/three weeks are any indication. They will destroy each other. And Bush and his $100 million war chest will finish off the Democrat.

It'll be over by May. Four more years of Bush.

1. Locking
4. If you wish to start a vanity thread (ie: a discussion thread in which the sole purpose is to share your personal opinion) you must state your opinion in a non-inflammatory manner which respects differences in opinion and facilitates actual discussion.

5. You may not start a new discussion thread in order to continue a current or recent flame war from another thread. The moderators have the authority to lock threads in order to contain flaming on a particular topic to only one thread at a time.


Thanks,
