I also debate politics on a Philadelphia Flyers message board and there is at least 1 pro-war dem that supposedly worked with the Clinton campaign or something. Anyway, here is his response to a thread about Zell: "You'd be surprised Mark at how many people, not just Zell Miller, are being driven out of the party. Most of those people are pretty silent out of embarrassment at the rhetoric being used and accusations being leveled. Moderate voters will make themselves heard however in November 2004. The candidates drive them away at their own peril."
to which I responded: I'm a member of the local democratic committee. My father is involved in south jersey politics as a democrat and has been since I was a kid. I'm on so many mailing lists and message boards I've lost count. There are candidates that were against the war and candidates that were for the war. Edwards, Lieberbush and Gephardt for example make no apologies for their support of the war. Any democrat that is happy with the job that the shrub is doing can switch parties right after they kiss my a$$. George W. Bush is the most radical, divisive, right wing president in the contemporay history of the US. If you like him, fvcking vote for him. Moreover, anyone who thinks they can get elected with the platform of "The President is an honorable man doing a fine job in tough times and we should support him 100%" is an idiot that I would want in no association I'm a member of. Anyone that thinks that Bush is just so fvcking great we should just give him the extra 4 and wait for 2008 should register as a republican. If you need the forms let me know and I'll make sure they get sent to you. To sum up, anyone who wants to leave can. We don't need them. We're going to have so many more people registed as dems by '04 noone will even remember who left.
Am I right as I think I am. I mean, how would we even try to woo people away from the shrub if they like him so much? How many of these yahoos are there and can we win without them.
