Really, I’m sick of it. I’m a long time Kos reader, an occasional commenter, and rarely write a diary. I come to DK right after I turn on the computer, check in several times a day, and once again before I turn off the computer at night. I went to Chicago last summer and enjoyed every minute. But lately the whole recommended list is just full of more and more diaries slamming one or another candidate. And I’m sick of it.
I’m old enough to vividly remember when JFK was assassinated. I’m old enough to remember the impeachment of Nixon. I’m telling you folks, this is the most important election in my 60 some years. Assuming a Democrat wins, whoever it is will have a horrible mess facing him or her. He or she will need all the support that can possibly be given from this community. There are no good options and doing what is necessary to fix the mess that Bush has made will be ugly.
We cannot afford to damage our candidates like this! The republicans must be laughing their ass off, watching us do their work for them. Yes, care about your candidate. Support them. Send them money. Argue why their policies and personality and background would make them the best candidate. Any of our candidates would be better than any of the Republicans. So please stop the mud slinging.
In the mean time, I’m swearing off reading ANY candidate diary for the duration.
