Edit: Seeing there was a complaint about a stated position I will give mine now. I think these Freepers would like very much to split the Democratic vote so Chimpy will win in November. There you go.

1. Oh dear god, we must exhort Dean to drop immediately!

Because I always base my decisions on what peanut brained people think.

[lancdem]

6. I agree

Dean is not in this to hurt the party.

[cprise]

18. As I have stated many times

Republicans and Freepers especially have rather poor judgement.

The longer Dean stays in the race, the more Kerry will be forced to kick neocons in the family jewels.

[politick]

2. buncha

fringe nutjobs. (like us DUers!) I wouldn't worry too much about them. If anything, I find it encouraging that the Repubs seem so happy to face Dean.

3. Giving money?

My check is now in the mail!!!!

This is going to be so GOOD!

4. They're getting excited about nothing

Having Dean stay in longer does not help Bush or hurt Kerry. He will support our nominee. Count on it.

5. You are misrepresenting slightly aren't you?

The link goes to an article that starts with what I consider to be nonsense about Dean bolting for the Green party, that's what they're ecstatic about initially.
Maybe they start saying what you say later on, but, for the moment, I stopped reading.

9. No surprise there

RWers have been dreaming about Dean running as a third party candidate ever since Kerry became the front-runner. Sorry, guys, ain't gonna happen.

16. try this one then:

21. That's more like it

still seem to be a lot of comments about the Green party in that one too. (Hey I can't give up without a fight)

on edit -- I admire your fortitude in tracking that down. I get bored usually when I go over to free republic.

[pezcore64]

24. okay

and once again they all start talking about him going green in their comments?

he wont go green!
rest assured of that!

[Snivi Yllom]

7. So are Dean supporters

Im getting tired of being treated like a leper.

[LuminousX]

10. Every wound will be remembered

Every time it is possible to take a dump on Dean supporters, it seems some people here take it.

Even when Dean is losing to Kerry, it is interesting they still dump. Amazing.

[reprehensor]

27. Indeed.

I'm sure that there are some Deaners that are guilty as well, but Dean, his campaign and his supporters have been getting the treatment.

[Forkboy]

8. So?

What's your point?

[LuminousX]

11. RW source without stated opinion

[DebJ]

12. They are afraid to have him run as the Dem nominee. That's why

they would like him to run green.
By the way, my understanding is that the green party is very strongly environmental.... I love Dean but he was rather a moderate on environmental issues in Vermont...but I think he would be willing to do more federally...but there's not real evidence in his doings in Vt.

13. Repukes for Dean????

I like Dr. Dean. I also like all the other Democratic contenders (except for Lieberman). In fact I like anyone who can beat Bush.

However, the Repukes seem to believe that the good doctor will be the easiest Dem to defeat. As a result, many of them have contributed to his campaign.

I read a statement from one of them in the New York Times in which he said that Bush has enough money. He contributed to the candidate who will be the easiest for Bush to defeat.

I wonder if a significant portion of Dean's $41 million came from the Repukes.

[pacifictiger]

14. sounds like they are buying into the

media s*t that it will be bad for Kerry. Why am I not surprised.

[killbotfactory]

15. Democracy sucks, huh?

To think Dean would have the nerve to offer a choice!

Off with his head!

[BeyondGeography]

17. All of our candidates serve a purpose

About 80% of what comes out of Howard Dean's mouth is anti-Bush; 15% is pure self-promotion and 5% is anti-other-candidate(s).

How's that for a scientific summary?

Anyway, Dean is good for the party. The Freepers are wrong again. Go figure.

[buff2]

19. Wow.......

Those idiots are losing it over there. Doesn't take much to get them excited,does it? They have no life.

[no name no slogan]

20. So Dems should do what Freepers want us to do? (nt)

[joshcryer]

23. So Dems are supposed to take Freepers seriously either way?

[David__77]

22. Dean will not "split" the party.

I see no reason for a candidate to drop out--not with how the campaign has been conducted. It's been beneficial to have this debate, and great to have multiple voices condemning the Bush administration. We needn't have some sort of coronation. The convention will be unified and we as a party will be. I'm voting for Dean and I support a unified, fighting Democratic Party.

[mitchum]

25. Damn, Dean is a uniter!

bringing freepers and "progressives" together in joy

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

26. I've never put much stock in what bottom feeding freeper trolls say.

Regardless of my own issues with Dean, I'm not going to start now.

[progressivebydesign]

28. WWFD?

Every time I rethink my support for my candidate, I take a moment.. pause thoughfully and think.. What Would Freepers Do? And I have my answer. I do the opposite!! Hah! Dean isn't going away! Deal with it Freeperland!

[jmowreader]

29. The ultimate Freeper wet dream...

is Hillary on the Democratic ticket and Dean on the Green.

Under this scenario, the Shrub wins. We can all agree to that.

It won't happen, of course: Hillary isn't running, and Dean will stay out of the race if he's not the Democratic nominee. Dean is a smart man who knows that it's more important for Bush to lose than for Dean to win. (Given that, if Dean wins, he'll take it. That's what he's in it for.)

[Shanty Oilish]

30. They'd rather Dean be nominated

and think there'd be no need for a 3rd party spoiler if Dean were the Dem candidate.
There are some real obsessives on that site. They are especially prone to demonizing Hillary Clinton. A third party run by anybody would buffer them from the risk of Hillary taking over the planet. :crazy:

[Cuban_Liberal]

31. Who gives a rat's ass what a Freeper thinks about ANYTHING?

Call em when their heads start exploding, so I can watch; until then, I have ZERO interest in what Freepers think about ANYTHING!
