Reply #125: Without a doubt you're Dean Bashing [View All]

You're using polls where the general public is asked if they know who these folks are - they don't. Let's face it, the majority of the American population has greater concerns like their jobs and the economy. They'll worry about the presidental election NEXT year when it actually starts coming to their town.

You also mentioned several other candidates but did you put them in the title of your thread NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Because you knew by bashing Dean you'd have the thrill of people replying to you. Yet you can't open your eyes and see that the majority of the folks here agree with me. The fact that Bush has 40% rating when it comes to re-election and the "Unnamed Democrat" has a much higher one pretty much means we're going to be fine if Dean gets nominated.

But that's ok, I understand that you've made the post and now you realize you've backed yourself in the corner with this idiotic concept that Dean couldn't beat Bush. Turn on your TV and flip to the news channel of your choice and congratulation yourself for allowing them to brainwash you.

Bush is making himself unelectable. And as I've said about 2 dozen times we need to continue to make him unelectable by pushing the issues and getting the public aware of that fact. I worked a Dean booth about 3 weeks ago at a major African American festival in Wilmington. When we told folks that Dean was hoping to be the democratic nomination they were pretty much like "WHO?". But then someone in our group decided to just starting saying "Dean hopes to beat Bush in the presidental election" As soon as we starting mentioning that the guy is hopefully going to run against Bush, folks couldn't grab enough information. A few folks mentioned that they liked Braun or Sharpton, but were also interested in hearing about the other candidates.

Don't you see the message: PEOPLE ARE GETTING ANGRY WITH BUSH AND THEY ARE ANXIOUS TO GET HIM OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

Heck, my stepfather is a republican who is getting frustrated with Bush. He knows of 2 candidates - Lieberman (because he ran in 2000) and Gephardt because the Steelworker Union is endorsing him. But the thing is the guy is pissed at Bush for what he is doing to pensioners, laborers and the economy. So it was real easy to talk about the other candidates. That's why I love this big field - their is a candidate for everyone's taste running in the primaries. But if we work this campaign properly and keep going at Bush with all the problems he's created, it won't matter who the nomination is finally.

STOP BEING NEGATIVE - geez we have 14 months and personally I think we're doing fine!!!! We're dealing with an America that on a whole HATES the whole election process.
