Are Dean supporters too sensitive???

[mpsteve]

Why is it everytime I question Dean's flip-flop on the $87 billion dollar supplemental I get attacked? Dean supporters always immediately go to the moderator crying their infantile eyes out.

1. what?

I still dont know what the flip is.

2. Are Dean supporters too reliant on Frankenberry?

4. Simple answer - yes, many seem to be

Another tactic is if there is a post they don't like, they call it flamebait.

8. mighty selective eyes you have there quinnox

I see it from everyone INCLUDING Dean supporters.

[quinnox]

16. I agree but

The problem is there are so many Dean supporters that there can be power in numbers.

5. No

We're just tired of the some rediculous lines being trotted out. For instance the $87 billion "flip flop". There wasn't one. He said he would support it if it came from Bush's tax cut. End of story.

[mpsteve]

10. That's bull

He never qualified his statement when he and Kucinich were going at it.

First he was for it...now he isn't.

He'll lose on the repeal of the tax cut anyway. The NASCAR dads will hear his position on taxes and immediately tune him out.

11. If you call *anybody* names you'll get negative responses.

That's just the way human beings are.

I noticed you mentioned "everytime" about the 87 billion.

12. NO - it was where you posted, not what

The Daily Democrat threads have special rules, and they are repeated in each one - you are free to ask this question here. I don't really have an answer for you on it, except that I see Dean change his mind and wording on things, but I do not see them as flip flops.

15. Perhaps it's because attacks against Dean are so common and constant?

After watching the response to Gore's endorsement of Dean, one could ask the same question of some of the supporters of other candidates. Sorry, but, at some point, the constancy of attacks against Dean are going to simply get one line rebuttals. Having the same conversation over and over and over again serves no good purpose.

18. I am offended that you would accuse me of being oversensitive!
