When Kerry does choose a VP, will people still whine, bitch and moan...

[Cuban_Liberal]

... because THEIR favorite wasn't chosen? We seem to be infested with folks here who just can't 'let go' of their personal investment in the primary candidate of their choice, and it worries me, frankly.

1. I know what you mean, but folks will come around.

Just remember some of our Deaniac friends, who are fully on board now.

Yes, there will be extended period of bitching and moaning.

[cornermouse]

2. Right. Its not like they have any choice, is it?

Can you hear yourselves?

[Cuban_Liberal]

3. I hear just fine.

What are you trying to say?

[cornermouse]

8. I'm saying beware of making the same mistakes

the republicans are making. Arrogance and the attitude that your way is the only way. Things that make people mad.

Also, Kerry is still endorsing pursuit of the Iraq war. He wants to win it and apparently has come out in favor of the draft. He's trying too hard to be what he thinks is moderate and he ends up looking like a Bush clone. The number of people who oppose the war is growing and a lot of people already strongly oppose reinstating the draft. Both of these positions could hurt him at the poll.

11. There's nothing arrogant about reality...

[Cuban_Liberal]

All I did was turn on a light. ;)

[bearfartinthewoods]

sheeeesh

[Cuban_Liberal]

16. That'll be their choice, not mine.

:shrug:

[leftistagitator]

6. They have all the choice in the world

They can face destruction or fight along side us against *. If *'s actions haven't convinced you to join us then probably nothing will.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

4. I'd say yes...

... since I'm still bitching that Bill Clinton beat Jerry Brown in '92 ;)

[Cuban_Liberal]

5. LOL!

You must be Irish, to hold a grudge that long! ;)

[Pepperbelly]

7. yep, they'll bitch and moan. nt

[dsc]

9. I know my candidate won't be chosen

unless he picks Gephardt or an actively anti gay candidate, you won't hear a peep from me.

[Cuban_Liberal]

12. Mine MIGHT be chosen, but if he's not...

I'll smile and cheer on the ticket to victory. :)

[TreasonousBastard]

15. You would expect less?

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. It depends on WHO he picks.

I may or may not whine, bitch and moan. :7 There are many people I could live with as VP. Richardson, Graham, Dean, Hillary Clinton, ect... If he chooses someone I don't like, YES!!!! I WILL whine, bith and moan, relentlessly. ;)

[salonghorn70]

18. Almost All Democrats Will Support Whoever He Chooses

Democrats across the country will rally to his choice and be excited. Some on this Board will whine.:)

[Jai4WKC08]

19. I reserve the right...

...to whine, bitch and moan if I think Kerry makes a bad decision. On anything. Some decisions more than others. I don't expect to agree with everything he says or does. Heck, I don't even agree with everything Clark says, altho I've never been dissappointed with his actions.

But it won't change my vote, and I can't for the life of me imagine why it would worry you. Frankly.

I will never "let go" of my belief in Wes Clark. That's just the way it is. Clark is not a politician and my loyalty to him transcends politics. But it has absolutely nothing to do with my willingness to support Kerry, and it's not like I would go out and tell all my moderate or independent friends to vote for Bush either.

Obviously, my enthusiasm will be greater if Clark is on the ticket. So what?

[MrSlayer]

20. Of course they will and then they'll get behind it.

I will piss and moan about how much of a fool he is if he doesn't pick Clark. And then I'll get behind it.

[jsw_81]

21. Yes, but they'll get over it

What's the alternative? Letting Bush have a second term? I don't think so.

[agingdem]

22. It goes without saying...

we Dems are our own worst enemy!

[Cuban_Liberal]

23. Good point!

As our County Chairman said, "we (Democrats) would bitch if we were hung with a new rope." :P

[jonnyblitz]

24. i think your worry is unecessary

you don't really believe that these people who you say are complaining are going to vote for Bush do you?
