Is Anybody Else Noticing That The ABD (Anybody But Dean) Contingent

[stickdog]

Keeps Getting Shriller and Shriller?

And the criticisms keep getting more and more contradictory and far fetched?

Would DC Democrats really rather lose than support an anti-establishment candidate?

1. Yes

I've also noticed that I am getting more snippy in my responses- something I don't like very much. I really do think it's time for another break from this place. In real life, candidates' supporters don't actually fight this way. We have *much* more civilized discussions, even when there are areas of disagreement.

I've seen people say that this is probably b/c we are online and aren't sitting directly across from the people we are calling uninformed, naive, ignorant, stupid, etc. Most of us are rather nice people who would never do any such thing to a person's face, but we seem to feel quite comfortable doing it here.

Yep, time for another break! :-)

2. Cite where their assertions are contradictory and far fetched

when speaking to policy differences.

Did Dean govern as an "anti-establishment" lawmaker, or did he govern as a compromising centrist? How long has Dean been "anti-establishment"...and is he anti-establishment in a Libertarian sense or in a liberal sense?

4. Perfect example

of what I was referring to. Could bring out the worst in me. :-)
