Pardon my naivete, but...
Edited on Fri Sep-26-03 07:57 PM by Padraig18
...how many of you folks are too busy bashing other candidates, or whining about YOUR candidate being bashed to notice that the time you're wasting doing it is that much less time you're spending sumoning cogent arguments reqarding and marshaling resources to battle the REAL enemy--- the crypto-fascist Rethugnicrats who have stolen our right to self-governance, and intend to do so again in 2004?

Take a deep breath, and repeat after me: "The enemy of my enemy is my FRIEND." We are NOT priests of Ba'al seeking a pure-white, unblemished bull for sacrifice. We are DEMOCRATS seeking to oust the usurpers! GET YOUR HEADS AND EGOS OUT OF YOUR ASSES, FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

2. Yes, he did.
He said it well, for what crying little good it seems to have done. I've seen kindergarten food fights with more decorum! :P

And thank you, lass! What county do you hail from? Westmeath here, near Athlone. :)

5. Family ties
My family comes from Westmeath — some near Belfield (south of Mullingar) and some from Kilbeggan.

8. Yes, you did, but...

9. I, for one, put more of my time doing organizing offline
than complaining here online.

There's this whole wide world out there beyond the computer screen, filled with people eager to do stuff in what used to be called the "real world" before MTV bought up the rights to that phrase.

11. Oh, I've bitched here and there, but it does no good...
Some people have no shame. They delight in attacking their natural allies because they are less than perfect. Their idea of compromise is "Give me what I want". They delight in sowing dissention and tearing down Democrats. Most are Greens and angry leftists but I'm sure there are also people who come here deliberately to smear Democrats. Hard to tell the difference sometimes, they float from thread to thread always attacking. Apparently, they don't think anone notices...People can be so stupid.

12. Your enemy of my enemy theory is something Bush would say...
shut up with Bushisms...they're stupid.

Fact of the matter is Clark and Lieberman aren't even Democrats. They are the enemy...they're on Bush's side.
