Hey! Howzabout a one-day moratorium on attacks?
Read Skinner's two threads asking for positive comments about the "other" candidate.

I read them both, and contributed. If we all took a few minutes to consider what we like about the other "guy", it would do us a world of good.

I'm not a co-dependent "please mommy, daddy, stop fighting" kind of guy. But I got the warm fuzzies from Skinner's threads, and wondered if we could spend ONE day not attacking. We can all kick each other in the crotch tomorrow. But how about ONE day of figuring out how we're gonna kick Bush's ass out of office?

One day.... could it really be that hard?

1. Isn't going to happen
Great sentiment, but all it takes is one jerk to set off the next round of attacks/counter-attacks.

9. heheh...
yeah, you were on a roll last night.

I guess this idea will go down in flames. People prefer to fight.

I'll tell you this, though.

*I* will post nothing negative about any candidate for the next 24 hours.

fuck the rest of ya... lol
