Pretend you're a Republic and you're out to shoot down the Dem candidates ......
Your task is to come up with a very short, breezy, memorable 'sound bite' cut-down of each of these actual or possible Democratic candidates.

Your goal is to come up with something like "Stinky the Clown: Foolish lightweight non-thinker'. To use substantially more words than this example is get a failing grade on this little exercise. We're looking for sound bites, not term papers.

Again, keep in mind that you're pretending to be a Republic .... **not** a fellow Dem out to cut the competition in the primaries.

Here are the candidates .... but feel free to add another if I've missed any.

Clinton
Edwards
Obama
Biden
Kerry
Richardson
Clark
Kucinich
Vilsack
Bayh
Gore

1. The real challenge is how depraved you have to be.
That's something that is very difficult for most of the dem supporters. The pukes think that going to the lowest common denominator is their best weapon.

2. Oh my...
This thread will only turn into fellow Democrats using this as the platform to cut the competition in the primaries.

I could go on and on and on about Clinton, but I don't want to.

Because what if she wins and I have to put my foot in my mouth and support her?

I refuse to act like the dirty GOP and the few Democrats who decide it's OK to cut down their political opponents through cheap and dirty GOP-like tactics.

3. What's the point of this excercise?
All I can see that this does is encourage infighting, and the weakening of our candidates like always. How bout we say things we like about each of them, and then encourage a valid open debate amongst them. Followed by a series of primary elections where we vote for the one we like the best of all of them, even though we like each of them to a certain degree, with no hate.

Why can't we do that for just fucking once?

8. Here is how I would go about it.

I would go to a Democratic website. And ask the people there to give me the soundbites. I would then:

1. not have to do the work myself, and
2. get soundbites that might be effective against people with a non-Republic mindset.

10. Who would knowingly shoot themselves in the foot? BAD IDEA!!
This thread is non productive and potentially destructive to Democratic candidates.

Now if you want a list of posters who consistently diss Demo candidate...
I'm ALL in for that gig!
