Can we create a separate forum

for Hillary-ites and Obama-spammers? No holds barred, post to the death. No moderation. No limits.

Each side gets a baseball bat. Beat each other silly. Really. I mean it. Just beat the fucking shit out of each other in a separate forum.

The way their supporters act on this board makes me hate BOTH candidates.

9. I have to agree. Some of them are trolls trying to TURN FOLKS OFF to HRC and Obama...

...by creating the impression that those candidates' supporters
are a bunch of rude, semi-retarded poo-flingers.

Some of their performances are simply too "over the top"
to be believable.

of it is probably troll activity (often successful-sorry to say)

Edited on Fri Dec-28-07 05:29 PM by eagler

I think that so many important issues have become deluded and sometimes go unnoticed from many who should have some input. At one time DU was actually a political force, (and still is to a certain degree) but you don't hear it referred to nearly as often these days.One reason may be that there are simply too many forums to observe now.

I don't judge candidates based on their supporters, but there are times when the candidates themselves aren't much better than their most fervent fans.

I could live with Hillary. In the end sticking together works and going off to whine doesnt.

Obama is a rare chance to put forward a constitutional scholar who breaks racial boundaries.

for Hillarity sakes!

I couldn't agree more, when any other candidate supporter tries to interject even slightly in their mudslinging we get mauled. I've learned to just let them chew on each other. It's hard, because their vitriol is so over the top that you want to correct them, but they're clearly frauds, b/c there's no way, as we know, that all HRC and Obama supporters are this way.

He was my senator for the 1st two years he was in the senate. He sucked!

Were you old enough to pay attention to him then? If so, please tell me what issues he spoke your language about, i.e. what votes he made that you agreed with.

Maybe it is because I am a Liberal and you, not so much.

You want to know how much of a liberal I am?

Check my profile and follow the links.

I'm about as left of left as one can get. Edwards isn't perfect by any stretch.

But I'd vote for him over Clinton and Obama. As I'd vote for Kucinich over "top tier" as well.

Edit to ask: your profile says Oregon? Which is it? Oregon or NC?

And I am old enough to remember when he was senator. Do you remember who he beat? I do.

I lived in North Carolina when johnnyboy campaigned for and won the senate seat from Lauch Faircloth (R). I lived there when he actually did work in the senate (as opposed to the years he was running for president).

Not only do I remember who he ran against, I remember when Terry Sanford was governor!

Btw, check your PMs.
