The whole concept ... I'm willing to vote democrat every now and then, I'm even willing to vote republican if they're sane. Now the dems have shown that they're no better than the Olog party. This is serious.So since Working Families has endorsed the democratic slate, we're trying to decide whether to vote for Greens or Sapient because the Lippertarians can fuck off too. :( |

Sounds like his doing strong arm tactics. He lost my vote a long time ago. When I used to work with the NY state. He bullied the union CSEA by threatening to fire a percentage of the work force unless we took his crappy contract. Made us go on furlough too. No negotiations no anything. He bullied and our weak union folded like a cheap tent. So this being his idea is no surprise. He is the most republican democrat I ever encountered. |

Precisely ... btw, former PEF here. Put in 12 years, had enough of Simon Says, started a software company and never looked back. That was back in the days of the Paturkey Farm. If I was still doing that when this moron came along, I would have just dived down an elevator shaft and sued. :) |

Not voting is a personal decision. There are plenty of Democrats that are disheartened with the current group in office, and while they do not feel any wanting to vote for the Democrats this time around, they also wouldn't vote for a Republican, so they stay home (the same can happen if you exchange Democrat/Republican).But the point is, it's none of their business, and prodding people that are already pissed off just makes it even worse, as they have done. If you give people a reason to come out and vote for you, they will. If you don't, don't prod them and harass them, as they are already pissed off. |

The plain words themselves are neutral. You're entitled to your interpretation and I'm entitled to mine as to the meaning.

It's just an annoying pop up ad (like any other annoying pop up ad for products or services that come up). It's using new technology (something "the left" is usually for, but of course not when it's "the Republicans", who you claim are living in the stone ages usually).In any event, it's NOT "far more intrusive" as they are just random ads that come up like any other random ad.....not using your personal voting record. |

The underlined portion is what I was referring to. I'm sorry that this was not clear to you.I was referring to the letter as reported by the news media, not Edwards' version. Edwards' version would be a form of threat, but there is no reason whatsoever to believe that the actual letter contained those words. If you want to believe Edwards rather than the NY Post, feel free. I believe the NY Post. Here's what the Post reports the letter said. I interpret this as moronic, unwise, and easily perceived as threatening, but there's actually nothing literally improper in the letter. |
