Repubs are complaining about 9 dems being too many. Were 7 Rebups in 2000

[Phatfish]

republicans in the 2000 Republican primary enough. I love to hear the hypocracy from republicans who say that the 9 Democrats will kill their chance for election. It didn't kill Bush's chance to get runner-up in the 2000 election. I feel that the more, the better. They are going to present new ideas and differing viewpoints which can only make this party stronger. I feel all of the canidates are strong canidates even if they don't have the millions needed to get their message out.

1. I totally disagree

It should be Dean versus Clark and the other candidates should be thrown in jail if they do not get out of the way. Period.

[Phatfish]

2. hold up there

why should it only be Dean vs. Clark before even on primary vote has been cast? I really wanna know your opinion.

[pandatimothy]

3. Here it goes:

Dean and Clark are the only two that have a chance to beat Bush and are genuinely against the Iraq Oil War.

Okay I don't really mean for the other candidates to be thrown in jail but it does hammer my point.

Dean and Clark can win. They are genuine and they are "outside of Washington".

All the other guys have to defend their Iraq War votes and Lieberman was high on the oil war hog!

Does that help?

5. I agree but I think you're calling the game too early.

I'm not a Kerry supporter (my money's on Dean, btw) but Kerry is very popular with some people, still, despite his fumbling and flipflopping on most issues and cadaverous visage, and should be allowed to stay in the race. But Joe L. has to leave NOW. He doesn't even belong there, he's a greyhound in a horse race.

4. Haha, I totally disagree...

...the Republicans have a problem with too many Democratic candidates because it's too many targets for them to focus on. They want fewer targets, so their criticism aren't used against them down the line. Look at the attacks on Dean: too liberal, too Newt like, too left, too right... Too many targets makes most of the attacks inconsistent. They can't take all our candidates out, and we're keen on their methodology, and watching for it.

16. You're dead right...

"The Mighty Wurlitzer" doesn't work when it hasto play 9 tunes at once- and by the time a candidate emerges, it may be too late for the repukes after getting hammered to the ninth power.

12. Hi pandatimothy!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

6. They tried the same thing in 1988...

With that "Seven Dwarves" cut--which, of course, the media whores repeated at every turn. x(

Better our nine than their decrepit, deceitful, moronic one any day of the week--this from the same party who thinks the "Gropenator" will save "Kaaallifohrnia" on sheer charisma alone. :crazy:

B-)

[bleedingheart]

7. The fact that we have nine candidates shows how great our

party is.

We are an open tent party...all are welcome...we encourage debate and aren't afraid to discuss issues.

Look at the Repukes...

They typically annoint one candidate for a race and if they have more than one...they are typically one of two choices...
1. Weasely, scary repuke
2. Absolutely frightening fascist republican.

[grasswire]

8. yeah, and remember that lineup?

Steve Forbes
Orrin Hatch
Gary Bauer
Liddy Dole
the plaid shirt congressman (forgot his name)
George W.
John McCain
Dan Quayle

Please. Remember the pancake breakfast where Bauer flipped a cake and fell backwards off the stage??

9. Add Lamar! to your list

Alexander, that is. The plaid guy.

[nannygoat]

17. You forgot to add "moron, evil repug"

to your list!

Good God, I almost feel sorry for repukes because of the caliber of their candidates from the presidency on down. They are either hypocrites, criminals, or downright idiots!

Any one of the Dem candidates could wipe the floor with that POS *.

[mgc1961]

10. That plaid-shirt dude...

is Lamar Alexander. Former governor of Tennessee. Completely forgettable as you so aptly proved.

:boring:

13. Hi mgc1961!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Spirochete]

14. To the Republicans..

ONE democratic candidate is too many.
I figure the more of them there are, hammering away on *, the better.

[Skidmore]

15. If the Rs are complaining,

then it ain't bad... They are worried. More messengers to rebut.

[devinsgram]

18. At least we have

a choice. In 2000 the repukes had no choice. Shrub was forced down their throats.
