We only hurt ourselves with this.
I like John Keryr. I am one of the peole that get complained about because I show up on threads and defend him all the time. Fine. I have had heated discussion with people at DU on all sorts of things and even some heated arguments. Fine.
Okay, as a Kerry person, I am begging you, don't join the circular firing squad and don't dump on other Dems. I know, damn I swear I really know, that we all want the Dems to stand and fight. But we need that Democratic Congress, we need each seat in the Senate and the House, for the good of this country. There is this war on iin Iraq and a Democratic Congress might just get a few of 'our kids' home a little bit sooner. That means everything.
I beg you, don't do this. Kerry is off the national stage for the rest of the week precisely so he won't hurt any Democrat in any race and force any Deomcrat to answer press questions about Kerry istead of the Dem issues in this race. This is a good thing to do, regardless of whether you think the comments were pro or con.
I gave money to Harold Ford through the Kerry e-mail. I gave money to Cardin, Casey and Webb, Akaka, Tester and McCaskill as well. I don't regret it for a second. We must have a Dem Senate.
So please, don't stab other Dems in the back. Not now, not so close to what we all want so badly. I am asking you to let it go, until Nov 8th, and step back and 'take one for the team.'
Please! I beg you, for the sake of all those kids in Iraq, the ones who were lied to and who we need to start to bring home. Cuz it ain't gonna happen under a Repub Congress.
Thanks!
