The Republicans are telling us who we want and need.
And some are falling for it hook, line, and sinker. Some of the people who are being quoted on here as "recommending" or analyzing were once treated with huge skepticism here.

Now it is like they are God if they say something nice about one's preferred candidate.

They are laughing up their sleeves at all us Democrats scurrying to please them. They are telling us who they think we should want, what Clinton wants, who will be best for them. They are letting us know that we must think in terms of fear, and we are falling for it.

It is unbelievable.

2. I'd agree----that's why I don't listen to any conservative pundit
when they talk about any candidate, and why I don't spout RW talking points to people...

4. ClarkGraham
from another Clark supporter, your post is not helpful for Clark. It's pointless to launch this type of attacks particularly on a thread which is distinctly NOT a candidate attack thread.

7. Sorry, just a knee jerk reaction I guess
I saw the Dean avatar and thought it was a smear piece. Upon further review, I realize it wasn't. I apologize.

15. Yeh, just a plain sincere post. No offense to anyone.
:hi:
We have supported Dr. Dean since he began his campaign, and we work actively for him. Apology accepted. No harm done. Trouble is, what if I had not had the avatar?

5. Carville has been saying something along these lines.
Whenever Democrats act, they worry too much about whether their comments ruffle one person or what another person might think about it -- and this goes beyond mere primary voting.

6. Been reading his book
We have the vision for a better country

But if Michael Moore is correct, the Party as in the elders, intend to loose...

So support your candidate and then... go ABB after the primaries.

Oh and something tells me the candidate will not be any of hte chosen either, that leaves thee names right now

8. You are absolutely right...



A lot of these people saying these flammatory things are Republican disruptors. I hope people are keeping this in mind.

9. Seems to me the CLark and Kerry folks are all too happy


to repeat and prop up repuke talking points... as long as they attack Dean.

Dean's poll numbers show that more and more people are seeing through the BS being flung at Dean by Bush, Kerry, and Clark.

12. Hmmm ...
I can see an awful lot of attack threads on Kerry and Clark that seem like RNC hatchet jobs with Dean supporter handles spread throughout the posts.

Must we descend to this level of accusation. It's a pretty safe bet that each of the campaigns has passionately ignorant supporters.
