I want to make a pledge!
Edited on Sun Jan-04-04 11:42 PM by Cascadian
And I want you guys. All of you,though I cannot make you, to make a pledge for the duration of the Democratic primary to not bash the other Democratic candidates on DU. This also includes Lieberman. Let us do this for the sake of unity. Let's save all of our bashings to Bush and his band of goons! What do you say people?

And if you want to bash any of the candidates, then you can on my new groups I started. You can be as inflammatory as you want there....

1. I held to that pledge
until two days ago, when the non-stop barrage of anti-Clark smears finally put me over the edge. As soon as I see the small contingent of Clark ankle-biters knock it off, I'll happily do the same.

But I'm not going to agree to play a one-sided game.

2. Me, too, over the edge in the past few days
Sorry, unless it stops, I can't pledge, either.

6. I will take aim at Bush verbally speaking.

I think we can all stop being inflammatory. Some of us have been straying against rules at DU. Myself included. However, I will let loose on my own group and elsewhere about how I feel.

7. Here you go, this kind of post is OK when a Dean supporter makes one
But do not question Dean, no matter what kind of flip-flop, waffle, or gaff he makes-right now!

There are not enough of them to matter.

12. on schedule...
like a train under mussolini.

Hence my refusal to take such a pledge.

However, I WILL promise that my criticisms won't be baseless and empty. They'll have substance, be based on truth, and backed up with real arguments.

8. I've never once knocked a candidate...
and I never will. I think it's immature to fight over one Democratic Candidate or the other. I'm sticking with my guns, and I'm supporting every one of them for president, including Lieberman. :)

9. I'll pledge with you
I don't need to bash other people in order to get my point across. It sounds like this is going to be a pretty small club though.

15. I already don't Bash canidates whoes names aren't Lieberman.
I don't need no stinkin' loyalty oath. If a canidate can't take the heat from those of us in DU, that canidate has no business running against the *.

The bashing is good...it's like developing white-blood cells capable of fighting off the venom that Rove will unleash upon whoever gets the nomination.

Sure, I can think of good things about Lieberman. He's Jewish, that's cool. And I like that he's a Democrat.

But why shouldn't I get political now?
