I'm about done.

The asshole cultists of a certain candidate are out of control. One of them just spammed GD: Politics with their candidate's chopped up website. I alerted on every single post and encouraged others to do the same.

I haven't said a single bad word about any one of our candidates. I see value in all of them and will support the nominee, but I am nearly through with this now semi-moderated hellhole and a certain candidate's loyal band of assholes.

I nearly got into it again tonight and with a former "friend" when I asked for all of us to stop buying RW spin. I was accused of pretending to defend Hillary in order to defend JE. Feh.They are nuts! Ignore may have to be our friend again!

2. I join saracat in asking that you hang in there with Edwards. Just K & R positive Edwards threads

would be a help.

Politics is a tough business and not for the faint of heart. As long as John is hanging in there we need to keep his back.

I understand your frustration, we all feel it, and we need to just support each other.

:hi:

3. I'm with Edwards. DU... not so much.

Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 10:24 AM by onehandle

The only thing that keeps me here is that Edwards support is so broad.

bobthedrummer's polls keep showing Edwards with 50%+ support here.

A handful of loudmouths are making this place toxic. This is much worse than 2004.

My support was with Clark and Kerry, but I would have been happy with Dean.

If Obama does get the nomination, I will do my duty in November, but I will Never forget what assholes his supporters are.

Independents should not be able to vote in our Primaries.

4. Please stay with us!

I can relate to every word you said, and there are times I want to leave too. Instead, I just merrily kick and recommend all the positive Edwards threads I see, and ignore the ugly ones.

I wish I were good with words. If I were, I'd post more, but I think I K&R pretty well, if I do say so myself. :-)

Please don't go.
