Reply #16: Here's the Problem

When you have Pat Robertson saying that Hillary Clinton running would motivate the Christian Right better than the devil while reading the same exact sentiments (usually in more nasty tones and outright attacks) it really makes you wonder

This is not a private, Democrats and Progressives only group. Sometimes I think there are more ghosts, trolls, freepers, republican operatives, abusers of potential therapeutic venues to crap in, and staff for K street lobbyists here than there are of people actually interested in winning in 06.

I vividly remember the incredibly nasty things some Democrats said about Kucinich, Dean, Clark before, during and after the primaries and general elections. Wait - I know y'all have some heinous and unspeakable history that has to be heard about some other candidate - but hear me out. Republicans in Jersey, for example, are posing as dissatisfied Democrats and trolling the blogs and boards. It's an incredibly effective technique, because they know they will always find some Democrat who just has to turn their life into a crusade to have their burned soul broadcast to the world. Remember Sore Loserman? Guess they knew more about how to make us cut off our own noses than we did even back then.

If you want to trash a current candidate elected by votes to run in this November's elections, just come right out and say you heartily support what 6 years of Republican stupidity, corruption, warmongering, incompetence and malignant neglect have done to this country and people around the world who were just trying to mind their own business before getting a neo-con version of Jeffersonian Democracy (which means stealing from taxpayors and creating a caste system in the US) shoved up their arses. Same goes for trashing potential 08 candidates two months before a national election and two years and two months before another one.

Can we all just STFU for two months? Besides outright vote stealing, that's how Republicans win elections. They all spout the same lies, even if they want to kill each other. They pretend that they have independent voices but always fold at just the right moment. Like, What's your preferred form of torture? At the moment the Republican controlled Congress is trying to ram through legislation that will set this country back at least 100 years. It makes sense to be trashing Clinton and/or Clintons at this time.

We all know that Hillary is the reason that Kerry or Dean or Kucinich or Edwards is not currently President, right?
