Dennis:
You too are welcome to your opinion(s) but you like most on this site confuse opinions with facts and you add a third entity - belief
My entire post was made as my opinion and my beliefs (splitting hairs again I see) and very little was presented as fact other than:
(1) my experience working for her campaign (a fact)
and (2) the fact that your posts have caused damage (I can state I know of at least six people that will not vote for her as a direct result of your postings - loss of votes typically equals damage; however, if you do not believe a loss of votes is damage then I concede that point to you)
Also you claim you apparently speak for a group with "WE don't like "
If you read the preceding paragraph I adequately qualified my use of the pronoun 'we' by stating
and I believe MANY others
. I do not state that i have been elected to speak for others, only that I believe that my statements would represent others views. This belief (recall I originally held that the post was purely of my own opinions and beliefs) was founded on numerous conversations with people I know on both sides of the political fence - many of whom post on this site.
My statement
Do you get it yet
is not any indication that I think you should change your views of Kucinich - or your posting style for that matter - but an inquiry as to whether or not you understand WHY people are objecting to you. I try (sometimes successfully and sometimes not) to say exactly what I mean so your reference to "my language" is misleading in that it insinuates that I am trying to imply something.
I could assure you I am not; however, I doubt my assurances mean anything to you or anyone else here - so there is little point in that.
I happen to agree that political debate is ta cornerstone of a good democracy; however, when the debate is no longer political, but personal, democracy looses.
Wait wait - let me restate that:
I BELIEVE when the debate is no longer political, but personal, democracy looses.
I wouldn't want you confusing my opinions with a statement of facts!!
Have a great weekend Observers-All ( even you my Kucinich hating friend!) - we are off for the holiday.
Peace and Blessing to all,
