Should we propose a Christmas truce to bashing other candidates?

[CMT]

Poll question: Should we propose a Christmas truce to bashing other candidates?

After all this is the season of good will towards all :)

If this passes, maybe we can take Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off of "Dean is a loser", "Clark is a Republican" and post only positive things about our candidates.

Of course no way we can monitor this, but it might be worth a try.

1. Actually, I'm for no bashing of any Democratic candidate anytime

Calm rational discussion of the positives and negatives of a candidate is fine. I'm very very suspicious of those who would use rethuglican attack politics on any Democratic candidate.

2. Me too...I appreciate positives over negatives any day

3. It is a good idea, won't work

All it takes is one person to bash and the truce would be off. And since a 'bash' is in the eye of the beholder, a simple innocent statement on one person's part (Kerry had breakfast) could be interpretted as a bash by another person (How dare you say Kerry doesn't care about the plight of the hungry in this country!)

4. How Dare Kerry have breakfast

I had breakfast this morning as well. Kerry is nothing but Dave29-light.

8. Kerry "I like the war, i don't like the war, oh i like the war again

John Kerry the original waffle eater

6. It's a good idea, but someone's gonna pull a Nixon

Guaranteed. :)

7. sure just as soon as we can get the angry ankle biters, Kerry, Clark, Gep

and lieberman to agree.

9. no, we need to discuss the issues and

see which candidates can take the heat. if dean (my guy) can't take the heat from the likes of kerry and lieberman, how can he stand up to the bush machine? do any of the duers supporting other candidates want your candidate to just roll over and die because of poor polling?

the democrats can only win by being willing to fight hard. first they need to fight for the nomination, then they can focus on the pukes.

we got hammered in 2002 because we were the 'me too' party. the us of a does not need two republican parties.
