I have a great idea for a forum. How about Democrats to hate for the week

[xultar]

Since we seem to love to rip our party apart. We should have a forum where we post and then determine which Democrats whe should hate for the week and why.

We could bash'em. Call'em DINOS, DLCers or DLC Plants, and then call from their removal from office.

Then the fun will start over the very next week. If we get started we could do the all of the Dems in the Senate by the end of the year.

Whaddaya think?

1. I nominate Joe Lie-Berman.

How many times has a repuke told you "I could vote democratic if they were all like Joe Lie-Berman"?

[xultar]

2. I respect Joe as a Dem I don't as a man because he allowed himself

to be used.

Luckily he votes Dem. I joke on Joe cuz it is fun. But, I wouldn't run ads against the man and call for his ouster. I'd let things take their course and if his state voted him out and another Dem in I'd like it. If they voted in a Rethug then I'd wish we at least had Joe.

GET IT!!!

10. I don't know if you can call it being used when peace in Israel is on

the line. It is real to him. A reality you perhaps do not share. And you don't have to. But he is trying to do something very, very, important.

Think how much like puppydogs all of America was after 9/11. They handed everything over to Bush. Were we used in Afghanistan? Not so much. We all needed to tear apart that terrorist network into so many pieces.

And Joe needs peace in Israel (I bet he wants a lasting one) and he represents a small chunk of the country when he goes there and lives that truth. But it is his truth.

And the last thing we dems want is people who do not vote their true needs. That would make us patsy freepers.

Joe's needs are just different than yours.

25. Point well taken. We all have to do things for our priorities and

the priorities of those closest to us and in his case his voters.

I can't fault the man for that.

3. Great idea!

Should sources be required for "fuel for the fire" or will unattributed hearsay and innuendo be fine? 'Cause if we can't repeat gossip from professional misinterpreters, "telephone game" players, and people who just make shit up, it's no fun.

4. I'd rather see a 'Democrat HERO for the week'

... lots of great Democrats out there, and getting better every day... might help us better appreciate all of the good people in our party.

6. I'm with you

So much negativity about our side & bashing Dems. Need some positive stuff occasionally. GAWD knows there's plenty enough to say about Bushco & the repukes.Let's save our vitriol for our own after we win back Congress in '06.

16. I'm with you!!

5. We progressives don't hate." But I have nothing against a "Hall

of Shame" or a "deprogramming" forum!

Funny, I was just about to post a thread in the Lounge proposing a DU awards thing, like the Emmys/Grammys.

It would be far more entertaining thanm most awards ceremonies. I think most DUers are funnier than anyone in showbiz!

13. DU isn't a democracy, not in the least. And Xultar is NOT a freeper

by any means--or else she is INCREDIBLY good at hiding it.

Were you here during the primaries? DU is NOT a democracy. It's more like a neibghborhood bar.

[xultar]

19. Straight up. And Hell NAW I ain't no Freeper...

Thanks so much for the kind words!

You're right DU is the corner pub. That is a great way of looking @ it.

8. Let's make a rule: Once "DU'ed," always "DU'ed"

So let's just say that rule had been in effect over the last year, this would be a partial list of Democrats we would purge:

Kerry
Edwards
Lieberman
Reid
Clinton (both of them)
Dean
Obama
Clark

...did I miss any?

[applegrove]

12. If we purged all them, I think I would just give up on you Americans

and start digging a ditch around my home. Or I would get into mentoring or something else. There would be no hope.

20. Pelosi n/t

[H2O Man]

9. Line up and count off ....

we should have teams for this.

[Mugweed]

11. Shorter list:

Democrats that might be worth the time.

[MisterP]

14. how about a whine-about-divisiveness forum

[xultar]

22. I'd be for that. You gonna contact the Admins! Count me in!

:spray:

24. or a boo hoo,

I can't make everyone else share my opinions forum.

[dogday]

15. Why don't we try something different

And start talking about all the positive people in this party.

[BigBearJohn]

17. instead of eating our own... don't want to act like a pug

[Sterling]

18. We could save a lot of time and just post the good ones.

It would take a lot less time than focusing on the bad ones.

[xultar]

21. Plus a lot less grief. But I don't think we are willing to do that. Let's

fight each other to the death, then continue with the beat down into the after life.

23. Sounds too much like the "Two-Minute Hate". GOP's territory, not ours.

Spend that time composing and sending supportive but strongly-worded faxes and email.
