Mean and nasty people don't win elections. There's nothing to defend about a self-evident statement. What don't you understand about it?

Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton, Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Mrs. Clinton, Raul Emanuel, etc, etc, etc. Mean and nasty people win elections all the time!!! That's my point.

Let me re-phrase. People don't vote for people that they perceive to be mean and nasty.

So the more people you convince that you are mean and nasty because you use vulgarities and insults, the more people whose votes you are writing off.

Ever hear of DU or Daily KOSS or Moveon.org?

Pull your head out of your posterior.
That's not vulgar, is it?

"Mean and nasty people don't win elections."

You are so right.

And we all just dreamed what happened on November 7, 2006.
