Reply #28: Don't see it that way

I'm happy to see Democratics fighting for their beliefs instead of the "can't we all get along" bullshit. I tended to agree with you a few months ago when I thought that DU should basically disallow negatives thrown at any of our candidates...but what would that get us? An unelectable Bush-lite establishment candidate, probably Joe Lieberman.

I now see these internal squabbles that we're having as healthy. And as far as the argument that we're destroying our candidates, I see it more as they are being battle tested. Do you really believe that any of us can or would throw as much mud as the GOP will in the general? Our candidate MUST be ready for the nastiest fight that this country has ever seen.

Fight On!!! That goes for each of the candidates and their supporters, we've been a much too agreeable bunch for at least a generation.
