I never thought this could happen but it is like we Dems ARE FREAKIN' TRYING to lose the election. Attack, attack, attack.

This bloody trail may lead to the other guys walking in the White House.

Ultimately, then, who won?

3. Oh, please, it's always like this
If we were all namby pamby and mushmouthed and refused to critique the candidates they'd call us GOPs.

We're Democrats. We argue. Then we vote for our candidate.

5. The same shit happened in 2004
the whining was unbelievable, pretty much just as it is now. Lots of cries of "If Dean isn't the nominee I'm not voting" and other such shit for most of the other nominees too. It will probably cut back when the nomination idiocy is over, until then I suggest the ignore feature for the more grating and annoying posts and posters.

7. If we lose
it will be because we were asked to sacrifice too many democratic principles to win.

On the other hand, we haven't lost a presidential race in 16 years, so my money is on election fraud.

11. Also after the convention in August
DU rules change ... you can't work for the defeat of the nominee
Heck, maybe before the convention if it is a done deal.
