Reply #114: let me ask you these questions, jiacinto

[welshTerrier2]

i have no problem, though i don't agree, with your criticism of DU'ers who will not support pro-war democrats ...

however, let me ask you these questions, jiacinto ...

is it your position that we should always support the democratic nominee regardless of that person's voting record? would you extend this to a segregationist? would you extend this to a candidate who opposes a woman's right to choose? would you extend this to someone who wants to abolish the department of education and wants the federal government to get out of the education business? would you extend this to a nominee who wants to abolish the minimum wage or who refuses to take any steps to protect american jobs? would you extend this to a candidate who sees no problem ignoring the will of the U.N. ? would you extend this to a candidate who wants to restart the arms race?

finally, would you extend this to a nominee who doesn't support the long-term traditions and values of the democratic party?

perhaps your answer to all of the above will be YES ... i only hope that you can respect those who do not agree with you ...
