Unofficial Health Shuler forum now open

This post is to announce the opening of the Unofficial Shuler Forum. (SF) You can access the forum by following this link: www.brainshrub.com/shuler

Heath Shuler is the Democratic candidate running for congress in District 11 against Republican incumbent Charles Taylor.

The purpose for this forum is very simple:

Progressives in District 11 need to start talking about Heath Shuler. Let's face it: He's no Liberal.

Shuler is a pro-life, conservative Democrat who admits to voting for Republicans in the past.

On the other hand, there are lots of fine Democrats who do like him. For example, the North Carolina AFL-CIO and the Western North Carolina Central Labor Council have endorsed him.

Clearly, Shuler is a mixed bag. Should Progressives support him?

I don't know.

Rather than sit around and complain about Shuler's lack of Liberal credentials, myself and several other activists are opening the unofficial Shuler forum.

Let's talk about Shuler. What do we like about him? What do we not like? What does Shuler need to say or do to put us at ease?

More importantly: What does Shuler need to say or do so that Progressives will donate money, time, money, time and money to his campaign?

Here are the ground-rules for the forum:

1) This is a forum created by, and for, Democrats. People of all political persuasions are welcome to post their opinions, but understand that smearing Shuler will lead to your post getting deleted and your account banned.

2) Godwin's Law will be enforced. First person to compare a candidate to a Nazi loses, even when referring to Charles Taylor.

Other things you should keep in mind:

• The forum will be under almost constant construction. In fact, as I make this announcement, the forum is still getting built. Please be patient as the bugs get worked out of the system.
• This forum has no connection with the official Shuler campaign. None. Nil. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

Once again, the link to the unofficual Shuler forum is:
