Reply #83: Why is well-earned criticsm seen as destructive? [View All]

When you tell your kids that they were wrong to do something, does it make you mean? Does it make them weaker? Are you a whiner?

When you state your disagreement about how you feel your Democratic candidate is conducting his/her politics, does it automatically make you a Republican? Does it make you feel better to stay ON-MESSAGE like a good little neo-con? Are we THAT disillusioned because still believe that politicians are supposed to be a reflection of their constituents rather than vice-versa?

We are SUPPOSED to tell politicians how we feel, unless he's GWB of course. I'm actually glad we don't agree on everything, because all of those Freepers who are laughing at our disagreements stopped thinking on their own a long time ago. How f*cken rewarding. (Please-just shoot me at the first moment I try to stay on message for anything.)

Well, I've got a beef with the fact that Kerry hasn't used his political clout to galvanize support, to give that A-Hole Blackwell reason to pause everytime he breaks recount laws, to inform the sheeple by forcing MSM's hand, to bring the concept of Election Fraud into the realm of credibility and to LEAD like he promised. And as a Bostonian, if I sat next to Kerry in a bar, I'd tell him all of this, and I'll bet he'd take it like a man and listen. And after I told him how I felt, we'd still shake hands and raise a glass because he would understand. He might not agree, but he'd understand.

The bottom line is, he doesn't need all of this insulation from the critics whose passion was the esssential element of the success he had. We critics value what he had to offer, and we don't need to be called Kerry Bashers because we are criticizing his invisibility since the election. When we laid it out for him, we bought the right to criticize, to rant, to disagree and to not pretend that being on message will get us into heaven.

After all, this is America...or what's left of it.
