Thread Name: BS: Censorship at Dem Nat'l Convention
Subject: RE: BS: Censorship at Dem Nat'l Convention
Interesting claim there, Don. Just how will electing John Kerry president of the United States accomplish real change?

BTW, I don't begrudge any Democrats the right to do what their conscience tells them to do. I do have problems with Democrats telling me and every other non-Democrat, how to vote. Which is what the "Anybody But Bush" leaguers are doing, as Michael Albert of ZNet pointed out.

Democrats like yourself hold no moral high ground above the rest of us who plan to vote against Bush, but by voting for the candidate we feel is the best candidate to represent our interests. Just because our candidate can't win, doesn't mean we shouldn't vote for them, or that we are lacking in integrity.

What I'm saying isn't about bitching and complaining. It is about keeping the progressive agenda alive in an presidential election year when all the conventional, mainstream two party corporate system are doing their very best to kill it off, and silence genuine disagreement and debate of the issues.
