Hey, let's shut down DU GD-P because according to some.....

[HardWorkingDem]

unless you are a campaign official or political expert your opinion means little and you should just be quiet and leave this campaign to the "experts" because they know best; if you have any sort of question of or constructive criticism of the campaign and you openly state it, you are disloyal or non supportive of Dems and just pushing Rethuglican talking points or disinformation; or if you just want to let some steam off, don't do it because we just can't have it.

I can't speak for others here, but I come here to learn and ask questions because there are some remarkably intelligent folks that come here that are able to offer great insight and thoughts on this presidential race. Also, like so many others, it's also a forum to spout off, speak of concerns and just get things off one's chest because in this country of ours, we all probably know there's little chance our voices will be heard and heeded by those that can make change. At least here, a poster's words will be acknowledged in some form or another and whether people agree with them or not.

While this thread will probably be shut down as "flame bait," it is not meant to be. I don't believe in leaving things to the "experts" because so many "experts" have led to so many heartbreaks for citizens of the Democratic Party. Hell, look at Al Gore - he has gone on record as stating he probably listened to his handlers TOO much.

1. Or we could all take off our clothes and go swimming.

I think that would be a better bet.

[gateley]

2. Let me grab my noseplugs... nt

[saltpoint]

3. LOL!

[asdjrocky]

5. I vote for swimming.

And no OC, I'm not stalking you.

[saltpoint]

6. LOLOL! For this swim, asdjrocky, we're gonna need some serious

tunes. Speakers mounted all over the place.

I trust you to make the play list.

[asdjrocky]

14. Done and done baby!

Not my favorites, but I figure we gotta start with the Beach Boys... then on to the real music.

[saltpoint]

17. Fair enough. I'm all ears.

Well.

Not ALL ears.

[asdjrocky]

19. Now that would look funny at the pool.

By the way, it's great to see you cruising the ol' boards tonight. It's been too long since we've shared good words.

[cliffordu]

9. I'm in. No laughing at my ass.

[saltpoint]

11. Ain't nobody gonna laugh. And I called the Weather Channel and they

said it's not gonna rain neither.

So we're on!

[SwampG8r]

12. OH MY GAWD!!! LOOK AT CLIFFS ASS!!!

:rofl:

[cliffordu]

15. I didn't have my pants all the way off, that was only half of it....

:rofl:

4. Let me try to understand.

You're complaining that some here are complaining?

If, as you say, "it's also a forum to spout off, speak of concerns and just get things off one's chest", then what's your beef?

:shrug:

[Common Sense Party]

7. You will be assimilated. Compliance is freedom.

Y'know, I think anybody criticizing how the Obama campaign is being run...well, I don't want to call anyone names, but, doesn't that sound...just a bit...racist?

:sarcasm:

24. Whack-a-mole...

Missed one. Damn! :(

[BuyingThyme]

8. The DU consensus can run the country far better than the Dem pros.

[depakid]

13. We'd at least score higher than 9% on public approval polls...

[cliffordu]

16. Sheeit, maybe 10%......maybe.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

10. I understand what you're saying. K&R

[RoyGBiv]

20. This is quickly getting old ...

And to be clear, I'm talking about what seems to be becoming a habit of you starting a thread to complain about people who disagree with you by claiming some aggrieved status of an attempt to silence you.

I don't want you silenced. I want you to direct all concern about the way Obama and his staff runs the campaign into some kind of positive action. Talking to your co-workers aside, you and those who are similarly concerned strike me as keyboard warriors who don't really do much other than express concerns.

[HardWorkingDem]

25. Then walk on by....

and ignore these threads.

Several things I've learned in my own occupation include experts don't know it all, make huge mistakes habitually and far often than not, somehow end up continuing to get promoted or put into positions that far outweigh their competence.

[RoyGBiv]

28. That's cute ...

Same thing you bitch about.

If you had a single productive thing to offer in any of your posts I've read, I might have a different opinion.

But you haven't, so I don't.

You're a part of the problem, not the solution.

[HardWorkingDem]

29. Then try stalking someone else...

then put me on ignore or something....just go away...

[RoyGBiv]

30. No ...

I will not stop addressing those whose primary purpose seems to be to focus on all things negative and never offer positive solutions to problems.

[HardWorkingDem]

32. Ah, that good ole Ignore button...

Good bye....and good riddance....

[RoyGBiv]

33. Smooches!

[azmouse]

27. I agree.

The minute anyone tells all the 'concerned' posters to get off their ass and direct their energy to helping the Obama campaign, they whine that they're not being taken seriously and everyone just wants them to shup up.

[Bonobo]

21. No one said you couldn't spout lame-ass, weak opinions.

But it doesn't make them less lame-ass or weak just because you WANT them to be.

So...grow some skin.

[HardWorkingDem]

26. Oh, I just love the continued rude jerks here...

keep it up...
