Reply #18: You can and have said what you've wanted about Barack Obama.....

We are supposed to be generally supportive,
and when we are not, we are supposed to be constructive
in our criticism.

But during an election,
we are not supposed to work
in promoting the defeat of the Democratic candidate.

I shouldn't have to make it any clearer.

Hypocrites are people who say they are activists,
but when it comes time to act,
they just talk,
and negatively at that.
Those folks "analysing" this election race
by criticizing Coakley,
while not saying shit about Brown,
are poseurs as far as I'm concerned....
and should feel free to go use some other bandwith
in dissing the Democrat in the race.

Those are the rules,
and they are clear.

DU RULES

You are not permitted to use this message board to work for the defeat of the Democratic Party nominee for any political office. If you wish to work for the defeat of any Democratic candidate in any General Election, then you are welcome to use someone else's bandwidth on some other website.

Democratic Underground may not be used for political, partisan, or advocacy activity by supporters of any political party or candidate other than the Democratic Party or Democratic candidates. Supporters of certain other political parties may use Democratic Underground for limited partisan activities in political races where there is no Democratic Party candidate.

Do not post broad-brush smears against Democrats or the Democratic Party.

We are two days away from a general election.
Please refrain from discouraging those of us
working to better this country.

If we want to be demoralized,
we know where to go,
and it isn't supposed to be here.

THANK YOU!
