I would like to apologize for my counterproductive attacks on Howard Dean.
In the past I have unfairly attacked Dean. As my siganture line says, "I support ABB." I will try to stop be hypocritical. If Dean is the nominee, any attacks I or others used against Dean, will be used by the GOP.

I hope Deanies will forgive me for my over the top rants about Dean.

Peace?

13. But Takebackamerica needs to know about Celebrity X's sex life!
Its part of being a good American citizen. You wouldn't want to deny him of that, would you?

Seriously, King is a fucking hack. I have no respect for the guy. It absolutely pisses me off that people pretend like he is some kind of real journalist when he is quite clearly nothing more than a glorified gossip mongerer. Pathetic. In fact, I think he just about represents everything that is wrong with the mass media in this country.

3. we all should do the same
I think some of the attacks on Clark and Kerry are counter-productive as well.

19. You got that right
Any one of these candidates will quite conceivably be the one to save all of our collective asses next year. Let's not burn any bridges.

10. What A Nice Message!
Rare in the current political climate to have somebody admit being wrong about anything. Wonderful example that I hope others follow. Campaign for our candidates, definitely, but we must all hang together and energized about the main goal...REGIME CHANGE!

11. You possess common sense that others here seem to lack...

Attacking any of the Dem candidates in a public forum only aids and abets the opposition. Thank you for being one of the few that sees folly in such attacks. :yourock:

12. Peace Out ~ Mon
Build up your candidate don't tear down the others. You have made a very wise decision and I hope others wise up sooner rather than later. It makes no difference which candidate gets the nod I will vote for them. Even the worst of the lot is considerable better than what has befallen America now. Bolster the Democratic Party don't undercut it. That is my message and I'm glad at least a few of us here seem to get it.

BTW, do you live in Alaska? Because your pictuere is of the alskan flag. If so, how is the race to get rid of Lisa Murkowski going?

17. That's very kind and thoughtful of you! I never noticed that
you did attack Dean, to be honest.

But it's very forthright of you to apologize if you did.

18. Of course it's OK
Although I have to say that there's no way you're even close to the main offenders, who shall remain nameless.

20. Hey the primaries are a proving ground... all part of the process.


If the candidate can't rise above attacks from us whiny democrats... how the hell is he supposed to beat republicans?

The important point is that when the priamry is over, we all get behind the nominee and make sure they get Bush out.

22. Class act, TakebackAmerica
I wish all our fellow Clark backers (Clarxists is my favorite name for us!) would show similar adult behavior. We are in this together and we have 5 superior candidates-Clark, Dean, Kerry, Edwards and Kucinich. They deserve our respect for having the guts to invest a huge portion of time, money, life and career to give us a choice. We should at least honor their intentions, if not every vote they've ever cast.
