Well, not really. Sorry somewhere along the line I guess I missed the Verily, thou shalt all march in lockstep commandment.
Give the reaction when someone points out that Kerry has a hair out of place you would think that it was suggested that Kerry strangles kittens for kicks.
Oh no, there I go, I’ve done it again. Next thing you know Limbaugh will be announcing that Kerry is a kitten killer and what’s more even democrats think so.
You know what? What we say on this board doesn’t much matter. Do you want to see Kerry get elected? Then take the time you spend at DU and spend it volunteering for Kerry, donate your money to Kerry. Those thing will do a lot more to advance his chances than defending him from every slight, real or imagined, that he suffers here.
But we should focus our wrath upon the pubs and not turn on one of our own. True, that is a very good idea. Bush does suck, but we all agree with that, and that does not make for very entertaining reading. Talking about politics is FUN; universal agreement is not. Examining the Kerry campaign, analyzing the good and the bad of it is fun AND makes for far more entertaining and interesting reading than the mass group think. Bush bad, bush bad, bush bad…
Here’s a suggestion: Let’s all take a deep breath and admit that the Kerry campaign has made mistakes and will make more before he is inaugurated. Pretending that he is perfect will not make those mistakes go away or make them any less real. We can have honest disagreement as to what constitutes a mistake. Fine. Let’s disagree, let’s argue, but let’s not hide our collective heads in the sand and only squawk bush bad, bush bad…
