except I would add to the weak on defense part that Kerry isn't weak on defense at all. He was allowed to be pursued that way to the American people by the media. Kerry was out there working his ass off getting very little rest in the process campaigning and trying to win this election. He was doing everything he could and fighting off pop shots from the right and even at times the left (which was total BS) every time he moved. But there was many things said about Kerry in the media that he knew nothing about until after the campaign was over, or a supporter at a rally would tell him, or it would be a week or two after the remarks were made. Some people think a candidate should automatically know all this stuff as if they keep their nose in a TV all the time. But they don't that is why they hire all these people to work in their campaigns there is no way in hell one person could keep up with all that shit on there own. I mean it's not like these candidates are stretch armstrongs or something.

Anyhow I feel that by finding out later how Kerry didn't even know some of what was being made news about him simply tells me there was lack of communication within the campaign or some of the campaign workers just didn't keep up with there jobs so well. So many of accusations and lies went with no counter attack and sometimes when they did answer the attacks the ones they sent wasn't worth a shit and many times were made to look like fools or wimps. So I don't blame Kerry for all this I feel part of the downfall goes to some of the campaign workers themselves. Although Kerry himself has taken full blame for anything that wasn't done right you have to admit it's not all him. But in all seriousness Kerry didn't have time to stay wrapped up in the media when he was traveling the country campaigning at rallies, attending dinners and other events, helping write his own speeches which he did a lot, practicing these speeches, I mean hell far one man can only do so much and Kerry give 100% in his efforts to win this election.

And you are exactly right about what you see at DU is the left fringe and like you these people around here don't worry me either. They are the minority not the majority as they like to believe. They are more like the damn laughing stock of the party and to damn ignorant to see it. And one of our main problems is the media and getting our message out. And let me tell you people like Malloy and Rhodes isn't the answer. They are too far left in their ideals and like these people around here at DU have attitudes that only pisses people off and discourages people from wanting any part of what is going on. People are tired off a bunch of hot heads that think they know it all trying to tell the whole party what they should or shouldn't do, they are tired of all the whiners that continue to constantly down the democratic leaders every time they open their mouth and don't get their way, people are sick and tired of all the negative feedback that the party as a whole receives do to the damn left wing fringe and more and more are speaking up about it.
