18. Yeah, I'm with you
However, I'd like to see a lot of progressive and strategic ideas and some positive ACTION. Ah well, I'll have to admit to being a cynical realist too so , yeah, that'll happen somewhere around the first Tuesday after hell freezes over!

6. That's what I always try to do.
Whenever someone seems a little snippy with me, I respond as sickly sweetly as possible, pretending I had no idea they weren't being friendly.

7. I would like everybody to
stop using irony. It's too confusing.
Also, if people post
drunk and/or stoned,
they should label their post thusly:
D, S, DS.
That way, I can take it into
consideration in assessing
the worthiness of posts.

10. I'm in
I've been trying to play the diplomat since day one. I hope everybody can find a way to get along. I don't expect everybody to agree, but we can do it respectfully.

Less attacks and questioning the motivations of people who support someone.

25. I am in agreement
The constant sniping is getting tired. We need to understand that not all of us share the same enthusiasm for a given candidate. Let's put a stop to the needless trashing of candidates. That being said, if someone posts wrong info I would urge anyone to respond with FACTS, not name-calling or more false assumptions.


Just my two cents

30. I will gladly sign this, "Now play nice!" pledge.
Mostly because I DO NOT want to go on blood pressure medicine. :)
