Tell me, are they having this much levity over at Free Republic?

2. LiberalAndProud, I am totally floored by the various arguments.
It's like our Portland homeowner's association meetings where people fling epithets at each other, via email on our site at Yahoo.com or in person.

What the heck has happened to civility?

I'm trying to remember the in-fighting over the signing of the Constitution -- as least, as it was portrayed in "1776" the movie.

I felt just as you did about the Democrats tonight. They were both spectacular. I just hope our country survives this election somehow.

That's just my 2 cents.

3. You know, that's the funniest thing I've EVER seen there.
I spewed all over my computer. GDP in a nutshell!

So much for my nightly coffee.

4. Hillary said "Xerox"!
:wtf:

Of all the lame things to make an issue of...I'm not even a HRC fan, but cut the lady a break! Honestly, with all the crap going on in the world who freakin' cares if she says "Xerox" instead of "photocopy". I'm sure a lot of us over the age of forty use the two terms interchangeably. It's not like she dropped a ethnic slur, for crying out loud.

It's really, really scary in there. I think somebody needs to adjust their meds.

9. Hey! That was my thread.
:spank:

It was a scientific experiment designed to test the theory that I could reduce the quality of discourse in GDP.

It succeeded. :think:

12. I would have thought that was a logical impossibility
Reducing the quality of discourse...

"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means".

13. I keep referring to my cell phone as "my beeper".
I keep referring to my cell phone as "my beeper". I could only imagine the righteous rage that would be leveled at me for that faux-pas were I one of the candidates.

:rofl:

(I'm of the idea that we should simply get a large, industrial sized aerosol container of prozac and quietly spray GDP down...)

5. I think I need an intervention...
I usually never get involved in bullshit, and now I can't stop myself! Even when I KNOW a thread is flame bait, like a lemming, I enter, post, and leave feeling dirty and ashamed...help! :crazy:

7. I haven't been,
and prolly won't go, but would like to ask the civil ones, here:

Did anyone pick up signals that they'll run together?

I think that's what the standing O was about, fwiw.

I like the idea.
