Bernie Ward has been telling people not to vote....
Edited on Fri Oct-19-07 09:50 AM by Roxy66
It's been very discouraging listening to my nightly radio program lately. I understand the frustration we all feel towards the Dems in congress right now, but I feel it is unconstructive to nightly bash the whole Democratic party, and tell people to just stay home or vote for a fringe candidate. This will not help to reverse the downfall of this Country....it only hurts it. Bernie Ward should tone it down a bit.....he needs to get people excited about the next election, not avoid it all together.

2. Bernie Ward has many great qualities but I agree
Edited on Fri Oct-19-07 10:00 AM by Mike03
his recent stance on the Dems is disturbing and perhaps not very productive. Like you, I can't blame him for being disheartened--Hell, I'm disheartened.

Is it just me, or has Bernie sounded clinically depressed lately? Even on his Sunday morning show, God Talk.

Ray Taliafero is a program I prefer, because I feel more pumped up and positive about our situation after listening to him rock for four hours.

3. He sounds extremely depressed...I think he has lost hope
Hope is our driving force. The Dems are the only one who can bring us out of this disastrous downfall

4. He doesn't like ANYBODY?

What about Kucinich? Bernie seems like a Kucinich kind-of thinker.

He's a very spiritual man and when I listen to God Talk, it sounds to me like he's lost his faith as well as his hope, and I hope he can pull himself out of his despair. He's got so many important things to say, and says them so articulately.

6. He does like Kucinich
But, he's very negative over-all it seems.

5. I like Bernie, but haven't listened in a while
Regardless how I think of someone, telling me not to vote is akin to telling me to let someone pick my pocket. That just ain't gonna happen.

10. Ray is so good that I get upset when he takes
a vacation, which he is doing next week.

But the new archive is great--also for catching up on the late night/early morning hours I sleep through.

9. That's Great
Our guys tell folks not to vote and their guys (Limpballs, Inanity, Bored) implore their folks to vote as if their lives depended on it...

Great...
