Kerry narrows VP to two

[California Dreamer]

I'm sorry to see that the quality of discussion has gone so far downhill.  A new forum member puts up a thoughtful, in-depth, lucid post and all you guys do is attack him because you don't like the contents of the post?  

I agree that attacking someone if you disagree with their opinion is wrong. but for this thread I think people are questioning the credibility of his 'claims'. It is one thing to put up an opinion...everyone has one of those. But this guy is claiming to have 'inside info' and is writing a book. Therefore it is only appropriate to be skeptical and to question sources.

From what I have seen, I find it hard to believe that someone who doesnt know the sex of Eli Pariser and has so many misspellings and grammatical errors could be a professional writer, so I file his claims under 'opinions put forward as inside information'. so I attack Carlos, not for his opinions, but for being a liar (or an incredibly bad judge of sex)

...the person was Eli Pariser...She told me...

Eli Pariser

Regardless, Kerry was pissed off at how Gore made the VP selection a public thing with lots of leaks. He doesnt want to make anyone look like he wasnt chosen. If the NYT, WP, CNN, CQ, etc dont have a short list....this guy doesnt have the short list.

no we exposed him as a liar.

I dont see the reason for people to post threads about opinions on the race as 'insdier info' to make it seem more important. His opinions on this forum are very welcome...but if he expects people to believe his stories about his 'insider information' he better do some better fact checking.
