What are you trying to accomplish?
When you go all out to bash or slime either Hillary or Obama?

What are you trying to do? Give John McCain the keys to the Whitehouse?

Obama is a fine man who would make a splendid President. His policies differ by a nanofraction from Hillary's.

He's not a Cult leader. She's not Cruella DeVeille.

Enough already!

I happen to support Hillary, but I'm sooooooo sick of the nonsense already.

4. Giving you a bump & rec as well.
I know we don't always see eye to eye on policies (or the interpretation of some things), but I do appreciate your post and agree with you :)

5. Excellent!
I've resigned myself to making snarky posts to those throwing slime. Though I'm sure I'm a bit onesided.

Very rarely does a really meaningful post stay kicked. I'm proud to kick this one. Rec too.

8. Yup. But it won't end until the primaries end.
I've accepted that. Some people like this shit. Sigh.

10. just the futile hope
that if Hillary supporters got the facts that they would see the light, at least if they are progressives.

I don't feel the same way about Hillary as you do about Obama. I feel she would make a decent President, if you like moderate Republicans. I don't really care for moderate Republicans, and I especially think they are harmful in the Democratic party.

I have, in my mind, valid reasons for thinking this way. I don't consider it 'sliming' to share these reasons, although when a person cares passionately about something, they can get a little carried away sometimes.

I can understand if some people feel the same way about Obama and think that partisan supporters should be able to engage each other.

It does seem that there is alot of crap. I have long complained that even some anti-Hillary OPs are lacking in substance, although it's rare for me to meet an anti-Hillary rant that I didn't like. Maybe we could all alert more, but I also think we (or they) need to require more posts, and perhaps even a star before allowing OPs.
