The Criticisms Leveled Against Candidates On This Forum Are....

[THUNDER HANDS]

(a) Nothing personal, just primary politics.
(b) Very personal, with a deep-seeded hatred at its core.

This goes for attacks on Dean, Kerry, Clark, Lieberman and everyone else.

What do you think, do these criticisms and attacks strike you as professional, or personal?

3. Me too n/t

[Hep]

2. Follow up question

where were you in October?

[lcordero]

4. needs a third option like:

"100% reasonable and has already been completely justified"

[incapsulated]

5. This poll is too black and white

Sometimes it's one, or the other or something inbetween.

Sometimes it's just a flame war going on between camps.

Sometimes it's jealousy.

Sometimes it's pure frustration.

6. You left out one option:

"tiresome and predictable." :-)

[kentuck]

9. Both.

If a politician votes the wrong way enough, it becomes both..I expect a politican to do the public's business.Their judgement is corrupted, then my disagreement becomes more than just a position but yes, personal...
I see nothing wrong with that...I am furious with Kerry over some of his defense boondoggle votes and Liebermann in regards to moral prostelizing and foremost, his membership in organizations which monitor so called loyalty of academics, his membership along with Lynne Cheney in said organization...

10. It's the same old same old..in my opinion. It's a nasty business.

12. I always thought it was "deep seated"

I was right but it is also both

anyway, I can't answer this. It is definitely both.

13. Most of them are too lame to be sincere.

And I thought the GOP had cornered the market on feigned outrage.

[MercutioATC]

14. Ummm. Both. Depends on the post.
