Reply #78: The members of DU...

[Nlighten1]

Are as diverse a segment of population as any other message board or group that exists pretty much anywhere. You are going to have all sorts of different levels of intellect. We have our share of bright, intelligent and witty people ...we also have our share of not so bright, not so intelligent and not so witty people.

If you believe that ALL the members of DU as intelligent, astute and educated as each other (which you seem to be claiming in your post) you are being disingenuous. Certainly not EVERYONE here is going to be as smart as everyone else.

Your post is so full of straw men I don't know if I can finish it with the limited time I have this morning.

"That the majority of them have reached a conclusion different than yours does not justify lumping them into a "group think". "

I think pretty much everyone here agrees that Bush needs to go...that is the collective group think at DU right now. Would you agree? Yes, I think you will.
When you focus so hard on this particular issue, like many of the Kerryites do, you lose sight of the bigger picture. The bigger picture is that Bush is just a symptom of a larger disease. Getting rid of him still leaves the disease behind.

The next step is to get the Democrats to be the party of the people again and NOT just the party of the people when they want to get elected. The Democrats have become all too willing accomplices in the dismantling of America.
