I'm ready to start slapping some sense into people about the VP nod!

[Padraig18]

Although it continues to be a small minority of posters, I continue to see slams, bashes and outright lies being spread here at DU about our possible VP nominees. That they post it knowingly and maliciously, even when they know it is false, truly gives me pause to question their motivations, and indeed their committment to the progressive cause.

I have news for those people--- not only did my 'first preference' not make it, but neither did my SECOND--- or my THIRD! If I can bloody well get on board the Kerry campaign when he is unlikely to pick 'my guy' as his running mate, so can you; that you have not done so is due largely to your refusal to pull your stubborn, prideful, long-necked heads out of your arses and take a look at how things stand in America this 15th day of May, 2004.

Quit this idiotic sniping! We don't have even ONE potential VP who is perfect; what we do have is MANY who are VERY, VERY good: a distinguished general, a fine US Senator, a long-serving Congressman and former Speaker, a two-term Democratic governor in a swing state, etc. .

As for me, I will vote for John Kerry if he picks Elvis' corpse as his running mate!
