I don't care which Democrat you are supporting the the primaries. But here on DU I am seeing a trend that is only helping the MSM put a republican in the White House in 2008.
In 2004 we had Howard Dean. Beloved by many, racing ahead in the polls, using the Internet to inspire and to raise funds and leading the pack of contenders. There was a caucus victory and then....THE SCREAM! We all know what happened. Over and over THE SCREAM was played on every network news program and cable opinion show. Crazy Dean. Wow. His fall from grace was heavy. For me and millions of Democrats.
Now enter Hillary. Here on DU is is loved by many, hated by many, and some, just some, are waiting to pick a candidate to support in 2008. She is ahead in many polls and the MSM can't stand it. They want a race. Remember, a race means viewers. They don't want a coronation (and neither do we) 9 months before the Democratic Convention. Anyway.....THE QUESTION. OMFG. The was a suggestion to an attendee at an event to ASK A QUESTION of the Senator. She did. She told and WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM. This story is on 24/7 and Hillary is a BIG BAD AWFUL LIAR. And the MSM loves it, feeds on it, spins and contorts it and, before you know it....we will have yet another republican in the White House and 4 more years to bitch and moan on DU.
I am a DEMOCRAT who is still making up his mind on whom to support in the Massachusetts primary in 2008. I have moments where I have liked each candidate and moments where I have disliked each candidate. I will be making up my my not only who is best for my party, but who will be the shit out of a despicable republican candidate in 2008. I want my country back, all of my rights back, a strong economy and an end to this fucked up war.
That is my goal. A DEMOCRAT in the White House. That's it. And before we do the job for the MSM again, I would like to respectfully ask that we act just a bit better and ease off or stop the trashing of EACH of the candidates before WE weaken them to the point of not being able to win next year.
Now, I fell better and can go to work. Peace.
