Is every candidate either a ROVE or a DLC plant?
Reading GD it would seem to be the case.

Personally, if I have to settle on a plant - I think I will take an aloe plant - seems to be alot of burning/flaming going on, and aloe has qualities to help take the sting out.

1. Yes. Along with over half of the posters here at DU.
Speaking of which, where exactly are YOUR liberal/progressive credentials, salin?

Inquiring minds want to know....

9. LOL!
My credentials are over hiding in the aloe plant. ;-)

Here is the odd thing. Earlier I hated the "anyonebutbush" refrains. After reading the silly bashes (where EVERYONE IS A PLANT), I find my progressive behind slowly being magnetically pulled to abb. How did that happen?

2. Yep, I Agree
I'm just watching, reading and waiting to pick out those little gems of information so I can make an intellegent decision.

It's a shame that those gems are buried in mud and crap.

4. Depends on who you ask.
If you are trying to combine everyone's opinion here, and roll it all into one "collective opinion", then I suppose it might seem that way.

10. I believe I have seen each and every candidate
being accused of being someone's nefarious plant. WHile it is not universal (certainly most DUers are not perceiving candidates as plants), collectively there seems to be a blanket that gets thrown across each candidate - to the point of absurdity.

8. NOT DEAN!
Dean is the ONLY ONE who is not a Rove/DLC plant.

Deal with THAT, LOL (said like Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents).

13. Yes allow me to explain how this works
Edited on Wed Sep-17-03 12:16 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
Kerry is really part of the BFEE.
Dean is really a NEO-CON sent to seduce the far left to cooperate with their own demise.
Lieberman- Res ipsa loquitur
Clark is part of a military coup hoisted upon us by the DLC.
Sharpton is really white.
Mosley Braun cozied up to a Nigerian dictator in order to learn dictating tips.
Graham is really Al Sharpton minus a really good tan.
Kucinich is a socialist who is bent on totalitarian socialism.
Gephardt has had Ronald Reagan's heart implanted in him (didn't know Reagan had a heart- did ya?) in order to finally kill off the unions once and for all.
Edwards is really HOWDY DOODY and is made of wood.


and....Reynold's Wrap is an accessory which will one day be more valuable than gold and Alex Koshiggi is involved here somewhere...I just KNOW he is.


BUT YOU DIDN'T GET THIS FROM ME!!! THEY ARE OUT TO GET ME. I WAS THE WALRUS!!!!!

17. HOwever.... according to others...
-Kerry is too liberal, is a set up to be DuKakis...
-Dean is McGovern being prompted up by Rove...
-Kucinich is really a rightwing religious wacko in disguise...
-Lieberman is - okay there seems to be only one predominant take on him...
-Clark is a set up by Rove (to disrupt the entire dem campaigns) - OR he is Clinton (when he is not being Mosley-Braun or Edwards)
-Sharpton is supported by Nader
-Mosley-Braun is Bill Clinton (when he is not being Edwards or Clark)
-Graham is Rhino
-Gephardt will ruin our economic system (re trade)
-Edwards is Bill Clinton (when he is not being Mosley-Braun or Clark)

Dizzy at the conflicting takes on the conspiracies behind each candidate?

14. no.
because i like you salin, i'll tell you the truth but you must promise to keep it a secret.

the candidates are my plants. they're part of my scheme to take over the world. first, i distract everyone from the issues by spreading right-wing DLC propanganda against the candidates. two, when no one is looking(i've been working on this bit of strategy for a while)
i take control of the voting systems(see, i've been telling everyone i am a computer idiot but in reality i am a computer) and before anyone knows it i am president.

don't be afraid of me though, i am nice and i think you'll like living in my country. :D

Your posts have been a little too perfect. Perfect syntax, no spelling errors, or nothing. Yup. Gotcha.

15. I gave my vote to ficus
If it's a plant you want, why not one that beat a Republican congressman in a fair fight?

19. lol... I couldn't figure out why
when I was originally typing this I wanted to say "ficus" - but couldn't put my finger on WHY that was on the tip of the tongue - so revised to Aloe - where I could give an explanation. Guess it was kicking around in the back of the head! :D

16. Conspiracy Theories.....What a Joke!!!!
What a bunch of loons, really guys get a grip, your are losin' it.

Everyone knows that---

JFK was murdered by that lone nut.

Saddam and Osama have been conspiring against the US since grade school.

9/11 was perpetrated by see above.

Oliver North was a true patriot.

Patriot Act is for the protection of Americans.

Patriot Act II, even better.

Computer voting will insure a democratic voting process.

We are liberating Iraq.

The Supreme Court is our friend.

What Gulf War Syndrome?

Vietnam was necessary.

There is no such thing as a shadow government!

Add your realities to the list, I am getting sick.

20. This is the problem
there are some things that are conspiracies - there are other things that are more coordinated (just as dangerous)efforts (re: propoganda).

BUT when we see EVERYTHING and EVERYONE as part of a conspiracy - we have lost all ability to discern what is real and what isn't.

Especially when completely contradictory conspiracies are used against each and every candidate.

26. Here is a realization that I am trying to come to grips with.
Everything that is going on in this country is so evil, so sinister. After finding DU about a year ago, I have read so much. Books, articles, editorials, I have been linked to literally hundreds of sites with information I was clueless about. Like most people, working your butt off, raising kids, doing housework and chores on days off, occasionally sleeping, too too busy to even watch the news on tv. Now I am on a crusade of finding the truth..... And this is what scares the shit out of me;

24. While I agree that some investigations and factfinding missions fall
far short of the truth, at least there is an EVIDENCE trail in the items you have mentioned. The explanantions were not born of whole cloth in the minds of crazy people.

I will concede that I am NOT out to suppress investigation and that our own government by the manner in which they cover their ass with both hands has fed this fire more oxygen (and with a completely secretive admin, it is worse) but that does not justify the incessant floating of irrational turds!

28. I really don't read the candidate threads because of all of the
fighting that goes on. But how can we accept that the process of electing any candidate is conspiracy free, when all of our democratic processes have been compromised?

31. I didn't say it was conspiracy free but spreading more unfounded
rumors only discredits the argument.

32. While I honestly haven't heard the charges leveled against Mosley Braun
plenty have been hurled at Kucinich (repubs pumping him up - ala McGovern; or his flips vs votes on abortion suggest sinister religiousright tendencies).

Those are just as silly as the ones being leveled against the other candidates.

35. What folks don't understand that it is REALLY
a bigger plot - it is all being planned and plotted and planted by Putin - he and his minions have infiltrated the GOP/PNAC/DLC etc groups and are pulling all the strings, was planned before the fall of the Soviet Union... when he was head of the KGB. Got dirt on 'em all....


;-) Thought we needed a new element to add to who the cabalists are.
