Most annoying type of 'wet blanket' post?

Poll question: Most annoying type of 'wet blanket' post?

[WilliamPitt]

1. "Why won't the Kerry campaign follow my advice?"

Because you're a fucking idiot who couldn't devise an effective campaign strastegy to remove your candidate from a wet paper sack, that's why.

Not you, Feanorcurufinwe. :)

4. Exactly!

When I first began working for the JK campaign in DC last Summer,I opened mail and ran the auto pen (the signature machine). You wouldn't believe how many of the letters included 2 week-old WaPo articles with instructions on how JK should respond to the articles!

I know people mean well, but the armchair campaign managers are getting louder and shriller (is that a word?). We figure they feel helpless because they aren't involved at all (on any level) in the campaign, and they feel they have to help some way... and shouting is their only option at this point.

It's difficult to reassure people because campaign workers are vetted thoroughly, and there's that legally-binding confidentiality agreement you have to sign.

26. LOL!

[blondeatlast]

18. Damn you, Will, that's what I was gonna say! nt

[John_H]

25. Sadly, that applies to the children making Kerry's message strategy

What? Did you get hired, Will?

How embarrassing is it when a CNN mediawhore asks "Did the Bush Campaign outmaneuver the Kerry campaign or is the Kerry campaign just inept." To which a fairly respected reporter replied "both."

Given the outrageousness of the Chimp campaign's lies and attacks, it seems to me Kerry is flailing around in a wet paper sack, and his unrapid response team is standing by, thinking real hard.

Maybe five minutes on DU a day, following the advice of the "amateurs" would do them some good.

2. Other

When you post something in jest and someone swoops in to "correct" you. That drives me crazy.

[chiburb]

3. Other:

The election is about ME and MY issue.

[blondeatlast]

19. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN! nt

[hope42mro]

28. Yes. True, very true. I change my vote to that.

[fudge stripe cookays]

5. #6.

Since it was proved incorrect LAST election!!!!

[AP]

6. Hah hah. Another:

"{insert name of failed primary contender} just did {insert activity which implies that DeanGepClarkKooch etc is 'better' than Kerry}. Sigh."

[displacedtexan]

7. Yeah. The "Don't you wish now that ____ had won the nomination?" crap.

S/he didn't win the nomination, though, did s/he?

[Walt Starr]

8. I'd say the "OMG, JAMES CARVILLE JUST TRASHED NOVAK" threads

followed by the posts like this:

LMAO

DAMN STRAIGHT HE DID!!!

Gooooooo James

YOU ROCK!!!


Those threads piss me off.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

9. Umm

they may piss you off, but I don't see how that could be labelled 'wet-blanket'...

[Walt Starr]

10. Sorry, I actually voted for the Kerry is the Same as Bush threads

but then those other threads popped up and peeved me off.

Please forgive this crusty old curmudgeon.

[Bandit]

11. I voted other

The terrorist want Kerry to win. Or a vote for Kerry is a vote for the terrorist. Sick BS from this Cabal.

[bacchant]

12. Hmm... I'd have to say posts like this poll are the most annoying.

[VOX]

13. "I don't think I can vote for Kerry because he's too hawkish."

Hey, he's too hawkins for me, too, but since that belief won't win any elections this year, so put it aside, damn it.

First things first. Get BushCo OUT. Then keep the right-wing media off of Kerry's back, and let him lead.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

14. No votes for Rove?

[flaminbats]

15. excepting advice from voters is a dry blanket..

so posts expecting Kerry to do that must logically be a wet one! :eyes:

[Maddy McCall]

16. "Kerry isn't a liberal. Dean should be the nominee--a true liberal."

:eyes:

Get over it, already.

[flaminbats]

17. talking to yourself again?

ahhh, how I love wet blankets :puffpiece:

[fudge stripe cookays]

23. Good thing I wasn't here during the primaries.

I would have called you something nasty.

[Maddy McCall]

29. My point exactly...the primaries are over.

[QC]

20. "Kerry has to EARN my vote, and I cannot support him....

until he adopts my exact position on my pet issue."

[Bluebear]

21. "Show me why I shouldn't vote for Nader."

[oasis]

24. It may be okay in a "safe" state. Just ask any available Naderite.

[DancingBear]

22. "Why are we having meat loaf again?"

Oops, sorry - wrong board..

[AntiCoup2K4]

31. Because Mike Wallace went through a lot to get that meatloaf

so you'll clean your plate and like it, goddamn it!

/pissed off mom mode

[rucky]

27. You spelled Osama wrong.

or the famous:

"NO n/t"

[BiggJawn]

30. "It doesn't make any difference..."

Usually stated by somebody who hasn't been ALIVE as long as *I* have been VOTING....

I didn't click the "Martial Law" option because I feel that is a REAL possibility, and if you don't understand it could happen this time, well, I can't help you. Hope you're getting enough air with your head down there in the sand....
