MyDD :: My Recommendation on saving MyDD

My Recommendation on saving MyDD

by JeremiahTheMessiah, Tue Nov 06, 2007 at 12:49:53 AM EST

Keep the front page to progressive infrastructure, progressive issues, and key parts to what this blog is supposed to be focused on, or on congress is doing, or the congress 2008 elections. Meanwhile keeping the Presidential partisan debate off the front page. Today was nice, for the most part, there wasn't presidential partisan garbage all over it.

That's my two cents. I had a decent day surfing MyDD and that is exactly why.

I want to add it because it was noted earlier... Ron Paul raised 2 mil in one day. Well, it just so happens that he's up to 3.8 million, and the ticker continues to go up everytime it updates. www.ronpaul2008.com They want to top Kerry's 5.7 million in one day. Pff.

Re: My Recommendation on saving MyDD (2.00 / 1)

I think their final count for the day was 4.3 Million, not a simple drop in the bucket. Paul has raised over $7 Million for Q4, an amazing amount that might put him ahead of Edwards for the quarter.

My bet is they are going to JFK this libertarian screwball. They have too much at stake.

Paul is an anti gay anti union anti education ... (1.00 / 1)

FREAK.

Peace aty all costers are falling in love with this guy becaue of his stance on the war without bothering to learn about his other position.

Do you support disbanding the Dept. of Education?

anti education ... (2.00 / 1)

I don't think the diarist was praising Paul, just pointing out that he raised a lot of money yesterday.

Re: anti education ... (none / 0)

The diarist specifically told me some time ago that he is not a Democrat and would, if Clinton were nominated, seriously consider voting for a Republican. When I followed-up on that and asked which ones would be acceptable choices to him, he mentioned Chuck Hagel and Ron Paul. Hagel is out, but Paul is still in.

Re: anti education ... (none / 0)

Ah. I wonder if Paul's money will translate into support. He's going to be the thir or fourth highest COH on the Republican side soon.

And if true that the diarist would consider supporting a Republican, please don't. Hold your nose and vote for Hillary.

"diarist specifically told me some time ago that he is not a Democrat and would"

Screw off Georgep. I've voted Democrat straight ticket twice, each election since I've been 18. But apparently, since I don't like Hillary, that means I'm not a Democrat, eh? Nice logic. Jackass. I never said I wasn't a Democrat

BTW I responded saying I would probably respond more favorably to some third party candidacies depending on what is out there.

Re: anti education ... (none / 0)

Nope, you specifically stated that you might even vote GOP, which is why I called you on it. When I asked you which GOPers would suit you better than voting for Hillary Clinton you specifically mentioned Hagel and Paul.

BTW, keep the juvenile name-calling out of posts. I don't respond in kind, please respect that. Thanks.

Re: anti education ... (none / 0)

And then I backtracked, labeling the pros and cons of Hagel and Paul. Them being two of the more (In a place of very little) sensible people of the party. Then in my backtracking, I pointed out that third parties would probably be more appealing, based on the fact that there are usually some that lean more to left. Unless you can dig up the quote (which I doubt) your memory is as good of evidence as mine.

And yeah, I'm going to call you a jackass when you're being one. When you feel obligated to point out I don't post here that often anymore, trying to get at this idea that people should disregard my post because of it, you're being a jackass. I don't consider the truth juvenille name-calling.

Re: anti education ... (none / 0)

I realize that you then backtracked, but my memory was correct after all that you did make such a statement in the first place. I am glad you are no longer considering the GOP candidate a good alternative to Hillary Clinton.

I really don't know what in the heck you are talking about with this "don't post here that often anymore" stuff. I may have mentioned it once in passing a while back, but you are definitely way off in claiming that I do so "all the time." You are probably confusing me with someone else. Maybe you can help my memory out in this instance and show me the remarks I have made that got you so hot under the collar:

http://jeremiahthemessiah.mydd.com/user/ jeremiahthemessiah/comments

I went through the first 3 pages of comments going back a little while and could not find a single instance. Maybe you can find a couple for me, since you claim frequency. I would also want to see the context, as what you claim here seems not at all what transpired in that one instance where that would have even come up, way back when. Let's get this resolved, as I am fond of you as a poster in a general sense, and your comments here aren't really in line with my general posting towards you (i.e. we recently exchanged good, respectful posts on some non-presidential news and issues.)

Re: anti education ... (none / 0)

But again, not voting Democrat in one of numerous elections automatically makes me not a Democrat? Your "Us against them" Mentality is sickening. I'm suprised you didn't respond to my remarks about that in the other comment. I'm a Democrat. I have never said I wasn't a Democrat. Just because I don't like Hillary, doesn't make me not a Democrat.

Re: anti education ... (none / 0)

I believed when you made the "Then I'll vote for a GOPer before Hillary" comment (which you later backtracked from somewhat) you also stated that you were a registered Independent anyway. I'll retract if that is not the case. But, to the larger issue here, I personally don't hold high respect for anyone who states that they would vote for the GOP candidate over any of our Democratic candidates. That is not aimed at you specifically, but anyone who has made that statement (that includes Hillary supporters.) What about the Supreme Court? What about a plethora of issues and bills that would come out of Congress and would be vetoed with a GOPer as president and signed with a Democrat? It is just personal opinion that someone who would rather vote GOP then our candidate is not really an integral part of our party, does not have it in his/her blood. Nothing wrong with that, really. It is just a party definition I disagree with (voting only for Democrats you favor, otherwise look around at third-party, perhaps GOP.)

Re: anti education ... (none / 0)

Okay, you clearly don't remember.

I am not registered independant. I don't even know how to register one thing or another. I am a member of the Democratic party of Wisconsin. We don't need to be registered one way or the other to vote in a specific primary, we only need to be consistent (AKA I can only vote in the Republican primary or I can only vote in Democratic primary)

What I said is Hillary is the only Democratic candidate that would make me CONSIDER voting Republican. (Backtracked later and added "Or third party")

Re: anti education ... (none / 0)

Ok, let's just agree that voting GOP over any of our candidates is a dumb thing to even contemplate, and move on. About a zillion reasons why no GOPer, even the nicest, would ever be better than any of the Democratic candidate, even the ones we dislike the most. It is not even close and not up for discussion, either
