Damn, if DU is this toxic 14 months before the election, what do we have to look forward to...

[11 Bravo]

as we head into '08? Today the Kerry-bashers are holding sway, so the Hillary-haters have been forced from center stage. But hold on, tomorrow John Edwards may get a haircut and then it will be his turn in the barrel. Or maybe Joe Biden or Chris Dodd will cast a Senate vote with which someone disagrees.
Let's just all vote Green. Then Rudy fucking Giuliani can get elected, and we can kiss off the Supreme Court if not the entire judiciary for generations to come. Surely that would be preferable to voting for an ideologically impure Democratic candidate.

3. You have absolutely no idea.

It is bloody. They have to designate a forum just for all the fighting.

[CTyankee]

7. Hey, great idea! A "fight club" forum where everybody comes to brawl.

That would relieve pressure certainly!

5. K&R.

6. A Nader run will unite us all!!!!!!

w00t!

8. Agreed, any Democrat is better than anyone the pubs put up

I can't believe the vitriol against fellow Dems here. This is politics---it ain't a religion. In addition to Hillary and the top tier, I also note a couple DUers make it a point to attack Kucinich every day(Disruptors?), which I find offensive. And I am not a Kucinich supporter. I like him because he is a good Democrat, as are all the candidates IMO.

9. "what do we have to look forward to..."

"what do we have to look forward to..."

Name calling, rudeness, incivility, ad-hominem, logical fallacies, back-handed compliments, snarkiness, righteous rage, calling supporters of candidate X 'Communists', 'Authoritarians', and 'Fascists'. Kinda like on Free Republic.

But it's o-k when we do it, because we're progressive and tolerant... :sarcasm:

10. I always find it ironic that those who call others "purists" demand party loyalty.

Politicians should always have their actions and words questioned.

Note: I'm definitely not a Kerry fan since his IWR vote and pathetic attempts to apologize for it, but I don't hold him to fault for the taser incident.

11. This place is nuts

well...not everyone, just a small segment of the DU population.

It's going to be a long election season.

[AuntPatsy]

12. It may be unpopular to admit but I like all the dem candidates.

[Kingofalldems]

19. Second that

14. Oh, heck, people are just getting warmed up. It's gonna get LOTS mo' better!

Hurt feelings.
Tombstones.
Sentiments that'll melt your screen.
All the good stuff that makes life worth living! :evilgrin:

[madrchsod]

15. same crap as the last election but worse

ya not for the faint hearted

[Connie_Corleone]

16. Ha! Wait until the night of the Iowa Caucus, then the NH Primary.

You better have some protective gear on.

[11 Bravo]

18. Damned if that's not true! And we'll need HAZMAT suits to venture into DU: Politics.

[brentspeak]

17. Well said.

:kick:

20. If it gets too crazy around here

they could have a donors only section to keep out the more obvious disruptors.
