Reply #97: In all honesty [View All]

I think it comes from the fact that many on the left swallowed their doubts about the guy in favor a giant, unified push to get rid of Bush. The effort failed, and now Kerry is a walking representation of that failure. The ensuing months have revealed tremendous damage to our way of life, our ideals, our future, and a lot of DUers take that anger and direct it to the walking representation of our failure and bleak future.

Is Kerry painted badly on DU? Yes he is.
Does he deserve it? Probably not, but his quick concession hurt
It is understandable? Yes
Will it pass? Only when Bush is defeated
Will I stop talking like Rumsfeld? Yes, but it is really easy to do
