DU is schizo. 50% say: "Hit 'em hard, hit 'em with everything! Kill them before they kill us!"... |
|
...and the other half say "Take the high road. Set an example. Don't give in to nastiness. We can win this thing without turning to the dark side."
Well, which is it?

That's just what they do - 527s run the mudslinging ads, while McCain runs the weepy, worried, concerned ads.
I say nothing's off limits.

4. Well, you must further sub-divide between true progressives and the |
|
crowd we like to thank for their concern.

9. Most of the "high road" people I've seen are NOT newbies. |
|
...just as I've seen some low-post-count National Enquirer reporters here.

7. Keep fighting the good fight here. |
|
I know you're taking some heat from those you're trying to get to calm and see reason. Many of us out here see that and appreciate what you are doing. DU has gone into the toilet this past week. I can't wait until this shitstorm passes.

14. Me neither, and thank you. |
|
:pals: People think I'm telling them to take the weak and submissive route and it puts them on the defensive. Black and white thinking is supposed to be the method of Republicans.

8. I go with the latter, but for very practical reasons: the former just puts a smile on John McCain's |
|
face, and helps his campaign. They eat this "let's attack Palin's daughter" shit being shoveled out here and other places up with a spoon.
I know many of my fellow DU'ers don't seem to be able to grasp this simple concept, but the vast majority of the American people don't rub their hands with glee over the public humiliation of a seventeen year old girl. They just don't share that same irrational blood-lust to rip a minor's life to shreds for political gain - in fact, they tend to look quite disapprovingly on those who do. As does about any decent person.

17. Go after only McCain's policies. We can win on that. How they are the SAME AS BUSH'S. If we |
|
go after Palin or her character or McSame's character we are playing a game we are not good at and one our supporters are not naturals at. It is the freepers who are downright nasty people.

that said--if by some chance they manage to steal this election--I will feel better if I fought they every step of the way. I will feel a lot worse if I sat on my hands and watched them steal it.
But Please please everyone--lets win this one. I can't take it if we lose I just cant'

24. I'm pretty comfortable using it as a segway |
|
to blast their policy hypocrisy on sex education.
I'm sorry but it's direct evidence of a policy failure, a hands on one at that.
I'm both ways on this myself but I have no problems with them being hit from whatever direction it comes.
