It's one thing to post every now and again about a candidate you don't agree with/don't like ...heck I'm guilty of it too.
I was curious, and did a search of other forums-
Do you folks realize that we are getting just as bad as the R's boards?
However, the INDEPENDENT forums..theres a big list of them if you do a search...are more civil and use a better discourse that whats been going on here. All spectrum's are talking there, and guess what? They aren't trying to cut each others throats like we are here. There are a few heated threads, but not nearly like what it is here in GD: P
A strange dynamic is happening...many Indys lean either D or R on a regular basis. They are breaking in a big way to Obama and McCain...for the very reason that many of us here are slamming them for (Reaching out and trying to unite)
I have a deep gut feeling Bloomberg is going to run, trending is showing that people want "CHANGE" in a big way...more than any other issue. That's why McCain has a surge right now, and Obama is so popular with Indy's.
Bloomberg is a real and tangible threat. They are afraid for the economy, and will flock to someone who's "vetted" (I hate that term) IE someone who has shows he's not only adept with money, but is an information hound as well.
Sadly, Indy's are ignoring the fact that they have the perfect candidate under their noses- JRE. He's determined to bring change in a huge way by ending the lockstep of "Modern Politics" -- And the only way you can do that is to get rid of the suffocating embrace of big money in politics.
I've decided to take a little break from DU for my sanity...hopefully when I come back (I'm a political junkie so it'll likely only last a couple days if that LOL) people will have gotten just a tish smarter and couch their words in a debate format instead of an insult flinging contest.
I've been a lurker much longer than I've been registered to post here, since the 2004 election. Alot of you are tremendously savvy, lets use that instead of visceral reactions.
