My mission: making sure nobody I know votes for Kerry in GE

[creativelcro]

if he gets the nomination. Am I the only one ?

[Red_Storm]

1. probably not

[democrat in Tallahassee]

2. great idea; help bush get elected!

nt

[fizzana]

3. I hope so

n/t

[Caution]

4. yes, you are.

Anyone who thinks in any way shape or form that Kerry would be somehow worse than Bush is either uneducated or needs their head examined.

[Jacobin]

5. Who would they vote for? Or would they abstain?

I sympathize with what you are saying, because its gonna be all I can do to go into a booth and pull a lever for one of the guys who helped get the U.s. into Iraq.

But, what will you accomplish?

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. you must be very lonely

I feel for you. Want a hug? :D

[Redneck Socialist]

7. Wouldn't it be better...

...to see that he doesn't win the nomination in the first place?

[BOSSHOG]

8. Please, share with us your brilliant rationale

[Feanorcurufinwe]

9. You may be the only Democrat on that mission, yes.

[MidwestTransplant]

10. Go visit Free Republic

[creativelcro]

11. Seriously, a party who does not allow all his members

to have the same input in the process does not deserve their vote.

[sangh0]

14. incoherent

A "party who"? Guess what? The party is not a "who"

[creativelcro]

16. Glad to see you don't have a strong counterargument!

[creativelcro]

15. WOW, just got 10 PMs, from people who agree but would not

say so in public... Weird, why would people be afraid ?

[THUNDER HANDS]

18. because if you try to say this after the convention

DU will ban you. As they should.

[shance]

30. So DUers would be banned for expressing their opinions.

Or is this a thinly veiled threat of exclusion to those of us who have a different idea than yours on how to save our party?

[creativelcro]

34. I'm sure we would be banned. No problem, few months to go...

[jeter]

21. Can you say "sore loser"

Jesus, imagine if everyone acted this way. We'd never win another general election again.

I understand you support Dean. I supported him too up to a few days before Iowa - but your argument is completely irrational.

Do you want Bush to win?

Do you want Bush to name 3 Supreme Court Justices?

Do you want more wars?

Okay, you support Dean over Kerry...what if all the Kerry people said the same thing you just wrote if Dean were nominated?

It's time to grow up.

[creativelcro]

23. There will be many people doing exactly this. Believe me.

[THUNDER HANDS]

28. so when Roe V. Wade is overturned, we can all thank Dean

And his merry band of supporters.

Thanks, I was curious as to where to send the thank-you cards.

[creativelcro]

29. If it's overturned it will be because of the support to a candidate

that will either LOSE in NOV (most likely scenario), or win and bring total shame on the Dem party for the next 20 years.

[BOSSHOG]

24. The party which will allow you to vote in one of its primaries

will offer you the same amount of votes as everyone else (one). Please, register republican, and attempt to offer an input which will be accepted.

[Melodybe]

12. I'm sorry but that is ludicris! ABB is more important than anything

And while I dislike Kerry for many reasons, to not vote for the democrat in Nov. is a vote for Bu$h.

I hope you reconsider.

[thingfish]

13. Thanks for inspiring me to redouble my efforts to get him elected.

I, for one, take great comfort in the knowledge that John Kerry will be the next President of the United States, no matter what any whiny Greeny babies might think of him.

[MAlibdem]

17. Once again proving...

Why reactionary, emotional leftism sucks.

Principled leftist, based on a rational belief/moral/intellectual system, seems to make more sense...and electoral success.

That really is just counter-productive, we want the political pendulum to swing leftward, to do that, we need someone, anyone left of shrub to win, and dominate the national political agenda for the next 4 years. To work against Bush but for no one is one thing, to work against the left's best chance against Bush (that is, whoever the nominee will be) is self-defeating, and, frankly, idiotic.

[creativelcro]

22. Kerry is not the left's best chance. He would be a disaster Prez.

[thingfish]

26. Screw the Left.

I'm a true liberal, and I want a true liberal President, and that's what Kerry will be.

[MAlibdem]

27. I said whoever the nominee is at the GE

If you don't want it to be Kerry, work FOR your guy now (rhetorical, im sure you are)

[peacetalksforall]

19. To go from one Skull & Bones member to another

infuriates me.

We citizens are really gullible, naive, and stupid to place the highest office and all kinds of leadership positions in the hands of lifelong active secret society members.

[Rainbowreflect]

35. I say Sharpton or no one. Why go from one white man to another.

Damn it we need a Hispanic, lesbian, agnostic, women (as oppose to a lesbian man). Maybe she would be different enough from bush for you.
Actually that sounds like a good idea.

[cindyw]

20. You know they have tools for you at George Bush's re-selection site.

That ought to help.

:edited for spelling

[JuniorPlankton]

25. ABB is the only thing that matters in November!

Vote for who you want in the Primaries.

[indigo32]

31. WHY?

I'm sorry but we've got to get Bush out...
and I've yet to hear a coherent arguement that sitting out the GE (and convincing your friends to..) will change a damn thing.
Show me a valid strategy adn I'm all for change. But Bush HAS TO GO.

[lovedems]

32. Why do you take Dean's message farther than Dean?

Dean isn't going to abandon the party if Kerry wins the nomination. I thought alot of you Dean supporters liked Dean because he is a fighter. He will stay with the democratic party and continue to try and change it and continue to say what needs to be said. You can jump ship if you like, but you will be doing it without your captain. Apparently you only listen to bits and peices of Dean and not his entire message.

Boy, I never thought I would see a bu$h supporter on DU. That is essentially what you are doing by telling everyone not to vote for Kerry if he wins nomination for the GE.

[ACPS65]

33. No

You and a couple of other Dean-boosters who formulate the myopic world of DU. Have fun! :hi:
