GD: P is really ugly right now. You may want to stay away.

I was just compared to being a child molester for trying to engage in a civil (I thought) conversation about why not being able to vote in another party's primary is not a voter purge. And yes, I alerted, my second alert since 2001, and the other was on behalf of someone who was called a racist.

I'm still reeling.

I was on that jury and was the only one to agree with your alert

It never seems like fun to me to take what they dish out. There is no discussion or exchange of ideas involved, just ugliness.

They don't overturn juries but it does give them a heads up on who is doing what.

to an Obama hater out there. I'm supposed to respect the opinions of people at the DEMOCRATIC underground who don't respect, like, or have ONE SINGLE NICE thing to say about the CURRENT Democratic President - but I'm supposed to take their opinion seriously about the next Democratic President?

Uh - nope. Not gonna do it.

And I'm seeing a marked difference in who at least RESPECT President Obama as a man - and who doesn't. It's brilliant and clear the difference.

I have nothing nice to say about them. Wait - I do.

Cheney raised a daughter who was strong enough to be who she is regardless of who her parents were.

George Bush's daughters seem to like him and you can tell Laura adores him.

That's all I've got.

Things are really bad on the Republican side, when Bush looks good compared to those guys.

Always good to hear what you have to say, Gen.

it's 95% trolls with no real ability to discuss an issue. Just insults. One big circle jerk.

They'll all be gone soon enough. They are squirming under the guillotine now, but soon their heads will roll off the board.

And it's incredibly insulting to our centuries old fight for voting rights for all. Just because they want what they want when they want it, the precious snowflakes only make themselves look ignorant and mean.

After spending 25 years telling kids to read the instructions, I still believe it's the ones who skip that part that are in for many, many rude awakenings. Like this one in NY.
