Guys, we need to talk

Edited on Fri Feb-09-07 04:37 PM by beachmom
I looked into GDP, and I feel like (and not to worry, I'm talking about myself, too) we've become instigators of trouble, and this is not in the best interest of the setadeadline campaign. Now I don't care for Hillary, and have no plans of voting for her in the primaries, but we apparently are all being associated with being pro-Kerry/anti-Clinton. Isn't this kind of what happened when Dean lost the primaries and the Deaniacs despised Kerry, never letting it go? Now mind you, Hillary's reaction to the "joke" is the main verifiable catalyst to most of us detesting the woman, whereas Kerry never betrayed Dean like that. There's also the "history" of the Clinton administration not taking Kerry's investigations to the next level, and that's real, too. Still, the results of the resentment, even if ours is more justified than the Deaniacs' was, are the same. There's nothing wrong with feeling this way, but it worries me that this will interfere with the important new campaign of Senator Kerry's which is to end the war in Iraq, with the first step being his Iraq plan and getting lots of people to co-sponsor it on setadeadline.com.

It's one thing to discuss the issues like Hillary's new Iraq plan, but quite another when we go OUT THERE with posts that only attract the trolls and make ourselves look like we're bent on hating Hillary and not much else. Of course, that's not the truth, but I'm seeing more and more posters interpreting it that way.

I hope I'm not annoying people with this, but it really looks bad OUT THERE and I want Kerry to get a lot of support on DU for his campaign to end the war.

(Edited slightly to make more sense)
