What are you trying to prove? Who do you think you are converting?
Why is it necessary to tear down a candidate so your favorite candidate seems better by default?
If you wonder why a certain candidates supporters are being asses to you maybe you should ask yourself why they are?
Look at this board here.
You have Obama supporters trashing Clinton and Clinton supporters trashing Obama I mean wtf do you expect?
An eye for an eye a tit for a tat..It is getting old and tired.
Do you honestly believe that harsh rhetoric and gotcha propaganda that trashes a candidate actually converts anyone here?
It doesn't.
The only Hillbots or Obamatons that exist are the caricatures created in your own mind..

People WE are making this place hell..

If I was Skinner I'd be slamming tequila shots nightly just to get past the hollow soul draining negativity of something that he created to bring Democrats together.

I guess I am through with my rant now :rant:...Happy Easter..

14. I don't trash Clinton as an Obama supporter
I trash her as someone who is disgusted with her behavior.

And, there's no way I'm going to just sit back when good people get smeared and defamed as Wright has been defamed here.

But, I agree that Skinner should share. :evilgrin:

15. I am trying to prove
that a mnemonic circuit can be built using stone knives and bearskins.

It is not necessary to tear one candidate down, but I always thought that if people could be shown the truth about Bush that they would no longer support him. So I now think the same thing about Hillary.

Obama is not my chosen candidate, but the only remaining one for an ABCer and HHHer to support. I make the assumption that the people of DU are passionate, caring, progressives. Therefore, since they are not evil, the only reason they would support Hillary is if they are misinformed.

Hence the need to provide information.

It's only hell if the truth seems like hell. Otherwise it's the opinion of somebody that you strongly disagree with.
