OK, the Republicans have their talking point. Hey, Claire McCaskill! Hey Jon Tester! Who are you going to support? The commiefaggot that Connecticut elected yesterday or your NOBLE-STANDARD-BEARER-YOUR-VP-IN-2000-OUR-MAN-JOEY-TWO-SHOES?
Well? Well? The American people wanna know! Where's your backbone? Where's your leadership? Talk about what we want to talk about, not what you're talking about to kick our asses! Buy into our false premises! Buy into us caring more about you than you do! We're the good guys! We're the grown-ups!
Well, that's just wrong on so many fronts. So what do you say? Here's what
I suggest.
Repubofascist: Who are you gonna support? This Lamont left-wing-fringe-candidate, or the VP candidate from 2000?
Democraticgoodguy: You know, that's pretty rich coming from you. See, we Democrats, we believe in giving the power to the people. We believe in free and open elections. When one of our candidates loses, we don't try to have a special election to get your guy out, like you did with Gray Davis. When the people choose someone for the ballot we don't like, we don't try to get them off the ballot like Jack Ryan or Katherine Harris. We don't try to figure out who to get people to write in so they don't have to vote for DeLay. We don't try to get people taken off the voter rolls in Florida or have them stand in lines for hours in Ohio in the hopes that they will go away.
We're Democrats, and we think that the people make this country great. We believe we are a nation of the people, by the people and for the people. You guys used to believe that, too, I don't know why you don't anymore. But we believe that, in this great nation, when the people speak, we listen. Well the people spoke in Connecticut. And I think that's great. And I will support the person they chose to run.
And if you don't like that, why don't you move to some country that suits you better.
