Reply #91: Not a Dem vs. Dem free-for-all, it hasn't

[Maddy McCall]

Debate is healthy. Debate is not hurling insults and inuendo.

What is going on these days in DU was NOT going on when I joined. What is going on in DU these days is detrimental to Democrats, because it shows just how "cohesive" we are.

Rove may not come to the website, but Republicans who are teetering might, and if they see some of the crap that is being put here about our OWN candidates, they might just decide to stick to Bush.

But more than that, it is a morale buster to people like me who would like to discuss candidates' stances, but don't want to become sucked into the downward spiral into which such "debates" usually devolve.
