  •  Nice Try (3.33 / 3)

    Nice Try.  But certain facts are indisputable.  First that someone was using Robocalls to send inaccurate information and smear Dean.  What is disputable is which campaign did it,  and who from the campaign knew it was going on.

    It should not be dropped, it should be investigated.  Perhaps quietly but thoroughly so that we know that everything is on the up and up and then we will have no misgivings about supporting Kerry should he become the nominee.

    •  A quiet investigation would fine (none / 0)

      I would support a quiet investigation.  That would be great.  Investigate, and keep it quiet unless real evidence emerges.  

      Since I don't think it happened, and if it did, I don't think it came from Kerry, he shouldn't have anything to hide in an investigation.  Is there a Kos'er out there qualified to compile hard evidence soberly and quietly?

      •  Clurg.. (3.50 / 2)

        Ok, now you troll rate me simply for asking you a question.

        Let's get something straight- you rated people who were simply stating that Dean didn't use recorded phone calls with a "1", they didn't even argue it either way just pointed out that the campaign didn't use that methodology.

        That's not trolling.

        There is a difference between posting something like, "kerry's an evil putz who no doubt used these tactics" and an open discussion on what happened. What you are doing is contributing to what you are trying to argue against- divisive comments.

        The rating system is not suppose to be abused like this. If you don't agree with someone then post an opposite view don't troll rate. The system is for those who post things that are obviously disrespectful and add squat to the conversation.

        If you want to troll rate this post too feel free- I'm pretty sure it won't chink my TUS.

        •  What are you talking about? (none / 0)

          You're insane?  I am not the demon Troll rater.  The only person I gave a 1 too is the guy who called me a dumbass, and people who put one sentence comments up.

          Someone besides me must be giving them 1's.  

          Besides, who cares what your comments are rated?

          Geez.

          •  One sentence comments (none / 0)

            Ya, you troll rated one sentence comments that focused on the fact that Dean's campaign didn't use recorded calls- it's a valid response to your finger pointing at DFA.

            If you don't use recorded calls, how could a Dean campaign staffer make a mistake?

            Then, you troll rate me simply for asking what is motivating you to act in this manner.

            Whatever. I must be insane.
