Reply #57: But what good does it do....

[HardWorkingDem]

when a person speaks out of passion in ways that make them come back for days and days clarifying the original statements? I mean, all those backing Dean in the primaries knew what he meant and was trying to say when he said that Dems should go after the voters with confederate flags in their trucks. But look at the energy and time that had to be wasted in continual clarification of what he meant.

Not one person is telling Dean not to keep using his backbone or to stop telling the truth, but to do so differently. For crying out loud, when your loving grandma comes up to you and asks if she is gaining weight you certainly don't say, "yep, tons of it, Grandma."
You let her down easy, right?

If we had ten percent of the message discipline that the rethugs do, we'd control all branches of government.
