Remove the "REC" function from the GD-P page.

[Tyler Durden]

Some of us are real sick and tired of seeing the endless tit for tat bullshit right on the home page, let alone in the "GREATEST" section.

This was suggested by "we can do it" on another thread, and they deserve the credit, but I'm convinced it would at least upgrade the Home Page if nothing else.

[MiniMe]

1. Its stickied at the top

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2744845

[Tyler Durden]

2. Not "Latest" but "Greatest"

The Rec's for these barn burners kick anything else of high general interest off the page, as partisans "DU" the "REC" "poll" about something that supports their person or slams the other.

[Stinky The Clown]

92. For me, it extends to the Greatest Page, too

It happened just tonight.

Edit .... see this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2892921

[MediaBabe]

95. You're right! They're gone!!

Gone, gone, gone. Very nice. Much better.

[Tesha]

3. Apparently, many other folks disagree with you.

(Full disclosure: I recommend threads from GD-P
occasionally.)

Tesha

[Tyler Durden]

5. Why?

Sort of like I/P or GUNGEON getting recs to the GREATEST.

Most of us avoid GD-P like the plague, and hate to be reminded of the schismatic fanaticism that page fosters. Or is it "festers?"

[Tesha]

11. I would imagine many folks like those threads because DU is, at its heart, a...

I would imagine many folks like those threads because
DU is, at its heart, a political board and right now,
the heart of Democratic politics is the choosing of
the standard bearer.

And clearly many folks *DO* like those threads or they
wouldn't get the Sagans worth of replies that they get
or the thousands of collective daily recommendations.

Tesha

[Tyler Durden]

31. GD-P has as much to do with "choosing the standard bearer"....

...as my credit card bill has to do with the Federal Reserve.

GD-P is now what it always has been, a cage full of chimps throwing shit at each other. That's why I boycott posting there, which I've only violated once in the last couple of weeks.

[0007]

43. Bye bye sweet tooties

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

122. While you throw poop from outside the cage....

:shrug:

While unseemly, it is can be hilarious in there.

Come. We fling poop together.

[Skittles]

87. WRONG

right now the heart of Dem politics HERE is tearing each other's candidate apart - don't confuse the fact there are a lot of assholes in GD-P with general popularity on the entire board - it only takes five tools to put a thread on the GP.

[Tyler Durden]

6. Oh, and by the way...

"Qui tacet consentit" (silence implies consent)

[InsultComicDog]

108. But with 99 recs and growing

apparently many other folks do agree...

[meegbear]

4. I second it!

Please Skinner!

[caseycoon]

7. While I definitely see your point

I would disagree.
Though few & far between these days, there are SOME very informative posts there.

[Tyler Durden]

8. I would say, since that forum was created to contain the conflict...

...then the containment should be complete.

The the vast majority of the Rec's from there always have reflected the worst partisanship.

[caseycoon]

13. Can we agree to disagree?

I hope so.
:toast:

[Tyler Durden]

14. Yes, except that you win, and I still have to see it cluttering up the HOME page.

Other than that I have no quarrel.

[caseycoon]

24. I know that even the really good threads in GDP

seem to dissolve into sheer vitriolic idiocy.
Lots of times I don't finish reading the replies because of that.
I don't read many of the OPs actually, so maybe you are right.
I have no big problem either way. :hi:

[Political Heretic]

9. I'll all be over soon.

Thank god.

[Tyler Durden]

10. Not soon enough.

I figure it will live until the convention...far too long.

The behavior in there is a disgrace.

[Tesha]

12. And then we can move into the "recriminations" phase.

As in: "Who lost us the election of 2008?"

Tesha

[Tyler Durden]

15. Welcome to the Democratic Party.

Cat-herding attempts and circular firing squads out specialty.

[caseycoon]

25. OMG! PLEASE NOT! n/t

[Justyce]

16. I wouldn't want to see that function disabled... I could live with

a higher number of recs required to make it to the Greatest page, though.

[Tesha]

17. I've been expecting to see the required number of reqs raised for all pages.

More and more threads have been making onto the
"Greatest" page so the obvious response would be
to turn up the threshold a little bit. Maybe to
ten reqs?

Tesha

[cascadiance]

58. I was just thinking the same thing before seeing your post. Increase the number of recs needed...

So we can tone down the "cheerleader" effect that is happening now. If we get it to a point where we can have a number high enough so that a post actually needs some recs from those of us looking for substance and not cheerleading, then the greatest page can become a good filter of the chaff again!

[mopinko]

18. just increase the number needed.

make it have 20, hell 50 recs to make it to the greatest.
i tend to agree with you that it is a swamp. but i also think that there is valuable info.

[radfringe]

19. perhaps we should start a weekly award along the line

of the DUzy. We could call them the :puke: ies

this award would be given to GD :P: posts in the following categories

The WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAmbulance Award: given to the post that whines and cries the most

The Strained Peas Award: for spitting out something distasteful and spattering everyone in range

The Flaming Flatulence: posts with absolutely no value, that stink and should be flamed

The Pointing Finger: goes to the he/she did it too posts.

other suggestions will be taken under consideration....

[wildeyed]

26. The You Hit Me Back First Award.

Similar to Pointing Finger. You guys did it first/more/worse and therefor deserve retaliation posts.

[The Doctor.]

74. Brilliant!

How about some sort of 'Church Lady' award for the most feigned indignance? There has to be another name for it though... "Church Bitch" is a little offensive to some (even though offense is part of the intent), "Steel Sphincter" award maybe? "Anal Annie"? I don't know...

I'd also like to see a 'PC police' award of some kind.


Please do an OP with this idea. If people want to post outrageous, counterproductive crap, they should live with a little infamy.

[Adsos Letter]

102. The Pukies!!!

man is that ever a tempting idea...

[sellitman]

20. You don't like GD-P then don't read the posts.

Geeeez....what is so hard about that?

[Tyler Durden]

29. We get subjected to it every time the home page comes up.

Latest/Greatest puts the recent GD-P spooge all over the home page.

Sort of like putting up a story about "Bat Boy" or Brittany Spears on the front page of the Washington Post Online.

[sellitman]

36. Don't click on the posts

No one is forcing you. How hard is that?

[Tyler Durden]

37. The headlines tell the story.

Look, you don't agree. Maybe you love the conflict. Some of us are sick of it.

[sellitman]

38. The headlines are warning enough.

If I see retarded headlines I don't click on it to confirm them. I just ignore them. It has nothing to do with liking conflict at all.

Its called avoiding conflict.

[Tyler Durden]

40. So you LIKE having "...____________ headlines..." on the front page?

I don't and find it irritating. I also find it irritating that the only requirement for getting something up there is the support of its partisans.

May GD-P enjoy its short tumultuous lifespan. I will not mourn its passing.

[sellitman]

41. I don't get worked up in a tizzy about it.

Its small potatoes.

I find substance here no matter what partisans post about.

I just don't reel in the small fish.

[Tyler Durden]

42. Then why are you posting in this thread?

Are you fishing for an argument? Obviously this is a matter of taste, and some people find it distasteful.

What you are doing is sort of like telling me that I have to turn my station to Country Music because some people don't care what's on the radio and it doesn't matter that I hate Country Music.

Why do YOU bother?

[sellitman]

46. Your opinion is just as valid as mine.

I don't mean to rain on your parade and if you think I have then I am sorry.

Peace out.

[Tyler Durden]

47. Don't be offended, I'm merely curious.

In my dotage, I avoid threads I disagree with unless they are on something that truly raises my ire, passion, or annoyance.

Sometimes I'm curious as to why someone posts somewhere when the issue is no biggie. Granted your opinion is yours, but why bother was all I was curious about.

[The Doctor.]

75. Absolutely correct. REC thresholds would not keep all the bullshit off the FP either.

There are always floods of partisan fanatics. I too am sick and tired of having to sift through all the garbage.

The admins showed a willingess to limit posts per day for flood control, but there may be those rare Hillary/Obama posts with actual value.

[LostinVA]

51. "retarded headlines?"

Sellitman, please get rid of the offensive term. It's against DU rules, as per Skinner.

[sellitman]

56. Time expired.

I tried

[defendandprotect]

82. It's because they don't want the comments to exist in their reality . . .

they're obsessed with the idea of censorship --

You see it over and again here at DU --

And they do SUCCEED ---

Now, there's a special forum to "quiet" campaign rhetoric for them ---
and still not enough --- now they want it "disappeared."

Why are these people here ???

[girl gone mad]

21. I wish we could just nuke that entire forum.

The only time I see any of those threads these days is when they end up on the greatest page, and those are usually so unceasingly stupid that I can only imagine how bad the rest are.

[L. Coyote]

33. Word for word! So bad, I had to go there, and scold those childrens for not learnin'

Give them some feedback here:

GD-P. If this were grade school, who would be grounded, and for what?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4641801

[yardwork]

53. Actually, they're usually the worst.

There are decent threads in GD-P but they tend not to get recommended or kicked as often, simply because they aren't total flamewars.

The majority of us in GD-P are decent human beings who attempt to confer in civil, respectful manners. Unfortunately, there's a very rude loud minority....

[complain jane]

85. I'm with you.

Why anybody thinks posting obnoxious, obsessive screeds in there are going to cause anyone to like their candidate better is beyond me.

[Sancho]

22. I agree...we're seeing the same thing repeated on Greatest because of Recs...

:dem:

[Tarc]

23. I would be in full support of this, actually

and I am one of the worst GD-P agitators of the bunch. :) All the "recommend" link has become over there is a way for all sides to tally up the fanboys and make a "gotcha" point of getting on the front page.

[Tyler Durden]

30. Exactly my point.

It's become "...just to say, 'HOORAY FOR OUR SIDE!'"

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

[Adsos Letter]

103. Buffalo Springfield....

Oh man, Tyler Durden, THAT brings back some memories...

[wildeyed]

27. Can they program it so that you can only rec a certain number of threads per day?

Seems like most of what is coming out of that forum onto the Greatest Page is repetitive; a thread or three on that topic has already made it to the Greatest that day, so we have all been duly informed. There are also some well reasoned and well written threads from GD-P, its just hard to find them because there is so much crap being recommended, too. If you could only rec three threads a day, people might think about the quality of what they were voting for instead of recommending each and every thread that attacks the other candidate.

[tuvor]

28. Right now, the Greatest Page is not nearly as "great" as the Latest Page.

[MelissaB]

32. I agree.

I used to check it for news. Now it's bullshit. Many of us spend a lot of time here, but many use the "greatest" for the most important news of the day because they don't have time to go into all the forums. That's how I used it when I was working. It's also how my family and friends use it. They now say it's useless, and it is.

Melissa

[Tyler Durden]

34. Some areas here have completely regressed to cheerleading sections.

We have an ex-cheerleader running the country. It's embarrassing enough to see it going on here at all, let alone on the home page for anyone to see.

[MelissaB]

48. Several family members and friends won't come here any more.

They say it's a waste of their time. :(

[MediaBabe]

35. Iagree n/t

[Wilms]

39. K&R n/t

[Jamastiene]

44. I wish they would come up with an animation

so those of us who want to make it go away forever can click one button and it will show an animation of that hellhole going through a wormhole all the way to the seventh level of hell.

Bet it would be the most popular feature on DU. Might even knock the current two way Alert/Ignore tie out of the #1 position for most popular feature.

[Hissyspit]

84. Off to the cornfield!

I like it. :7

[0007]

45. Hide hide hidieo

How to HIDE threads posted in the General Discussion: Primaries forum, so you will not see them on the Latest page.

If you wish to avoid seeing threads from the General Discussion: Primaries forum, you can set your preferences so that they will not appear on the Latest Page. Here's how:

Just click the "Options" icon at the top of any page, and then click "Edit your preferences" to go to the Preferences page. Scroll partway down the page until you see the words "Hide General Discussion: Primaries from the Latest page?" Select "yes," then click the "Update" button at the bottom of the page.

And, of course, if you want to avoid seeing threads about the Democratic presidential primaries, you should avoid entering the General Discussion: Primaries forum.

[MelissaB]

50. Lurkers can't do that.

I'm only assuming DU wants people to read who aren't registered. Many do... or have in the past.

[0007]

52. Your right MelissaB. My bad!

[stubtoe]

49. Great idea. It would clean up the Home page.

So many of those GD-P threads are so petty, it's making DU look, well, kinda stupid at the moment.

[Oilwellian]

54. Agreed

It's rather embarrassing.

[MediaBabe]

57. Bingo!

Why would anyone new ever come back?

If those are the greatest at DU then DU seems to be just another nutcase waste of time site. There is nothing to inspire new eyes to stay, to read and learn. There is not any wisdom to follow, just a bunch of radical whiners.

[bigbrother05]

55. Great idea (not), why stop now at just the 3 OP limit?

As others have pointed out, one would think that a site known as Democratic Underground would be reveling in the give and take of such a heated primary season. If there's too much to digest, maybe it would be better to cripple the other forums and let the Political/Primary pages dominate until the smoke clears? Oddly enough, even though I have personal preferences, that doesn't make me want to limit anyone's ability to post and see it rise to the greatest page or fall like a stone based on the quality and/or interest from fellow DUers.

[Hydra]

59. I'm for it!

The spew coming from GD: P is unmitigated, and as other have pointed out, lurkers don't have as many options to clean it up.

As the rec button is being used as a cheerleader button, it needs to go away. Even if youset it at 50+, there are at least that many who will rec to expand a flamewar.

[IronLionZion]

60. Go to "preferences" and check out some of the options there

I fucking hate GDP and see where you're coming from, but I disagree on disabling recs. You can see which forum a thread is from on the greatest page, it's listed above the thread title. You can choose not to click on those threads.

also, you can hide GDP from the latest page. I would support that same option for hiding GDP from greatest. A little effort on your part can make DU a better place for you. It would be unfair to demand these changes to be for everyone. Obviously SOMEbody is recommending those threads, so they would likely support keeping recs.

[pacalo]

61. Good suggestion. Or, at the very least, enable us to hide the GD-P threads on "greatest" as well.

PLEASE DO IT NOW!

[IndyOp]

62. Yes! (n/t)

[Hatchling]

63. Or allow recs in the Lounge!

That would clear the Primary Wars off the greatest page fast.

But seriously, I am on an old computer with dial up (my good computer died). I always check the Greatest page to see the vital news because I just can't surf thru every forum. It's become a "He said, She said". I don't even use spell check anymore, it just takes too much time.

So K&R.

[tandot]

64. To even compare the Lounge with GD: Primaries is an insult

... to the Lounge

[we can do it]

65. Pretty PLEASE

[Tyler Durden]

115. Looks like WE did it.

Thanks for planting that seed. I guess my ability to piss people off has borne fruit.

Thanks again.

[hwmnbn]

66. I agree....

these internecine battles should not be on DU's greatest page.

Most are boring rehashes and none shed much light.


I'll be glad when this is over.

[MasonJar]

67. Please remove it. I think I am getting something which is newsworthy and it is the same old same ol

[MediaBabe]

90. 'Greatest' should be at the very least 'pretty good'

but very little comes from GDP that rises above mediocre. Mostly it's inane and redundant. Certainly nothing that I can pass on to my less web familiar friends.

[RedEarth]

68. I get GD-P "Greatest" on the Home page, but not on the "Greatest" page...

...that's odd??????

[Laelth]

69. I am suspicious of people who tell others to shut up.

In my opinion, there have been too many posts asking the mods to silence members. This is a political discussion board. Those who dislike political discussion should go elsewhere. DU, because it is not the government, is not bound by the 1st Amendment, but censorship stinks.

I hope the mods decide against further efforts to silence the voices of those who care deeply about the Democratic party. It is, after all, those of us who care who are reading and recommending various threads.

:patriot:

-Laelth

[FlyingSquirrel]

107. It's not that they want people to shut up, it's that they want to be able

to CHOOSE what to read. Kinda like, what if your email inbox was so full of spam that you had a hard time picking out your real e-mail. Now you can send all the spam to another folder and check it if you want. Anyone who LIKES the spam can keep it right there on the greatest (and latest) pages, and anyone who DOESN'T can choose not to see it and will have an easier time finding the stuff they DO want to read.

[Laelth]

119. Nice analogy, and I hear you.

Spam blockers have their place. Whether or not GD-P threads are spam (all of them) is a matter of opinion and taste, and blocking them all from advancing to the Greatest page is like blocking all e-mail from one domain. It seems rather over-broad, and it's still a form of censorship. It still makes me suspicious.

Thanks for the reply.

:toast:

-Laelth

[MediaBabe]

124. Well, it's opt in so no one was silenced.

Everybody still gets to post their favorite words of hate. Like protesters at an abortion clinic with their bullhorns and bloody signs, the GDPers can still rant and shriek vile profanity at fellow Democrats and pretend it's the Greatest. Everyone will see it but those who opt not to.

[Laelth]

131. LOL.

I'm not quite so fond of that analogy, but your sentiments are pretty clear. :)

-Laelth

to no avail. I suggested an "unrecommend." Your idea is better.

[creeksneakers2]

79. Good idea

The place changed from a discussion board to a turf war.

[Left Brain]

80. I am 100% behind that

and thank you for posting the request!

Skinner, et al, I use the Greatest page as my synopsis for the day's happenings when I don't have much free time to spend here. With all the "tit for tat" posts, as Tyler Durden says, the Greatest page has become unbearably muddied.

If you can't turn off the "REC," can you at least please rename it "The Mudslingers Page" or something else besides "Greatest?" Cuz it just plain isn't anymore.

[NMDemDist2]

81. they must have done something, I don't see any GDP threads on here now n/t

[mike_c]

83. agreed, 100 percent....

GD: P has become a cesspool. No need to make the rest of us wallow in it.

86. GOOD idea! (n/t)

[onehandle]

88. Good idea. Keep DU's stupidity off the front page. nt

[MediaBabe]

89. Congratulations

You've managed to rack up quite a few recommends for this thread and I added one from me. My second ever rec.

[Stinky The Clown]

91. NO MORE GD-P ON GREATEST PAGE: It Is Now a REALITY

Make sure you go to your DU Options -> Edit your preferences -> Hide General Discussion: Primaries from the Latest page?
Selecting "yes" will remove threads from GD:P from the Latest page.

Click the 'yes' button.

Go the Greatest page and refresh/reload. Voila! No more GD-P threads!

[scarletwoman]

94. Doing that hides GD-P posts from the LATEST page. It DOESN'T remove GD-P posts from the HOME page.

And it doesn't remove GD-P posts from the "GREATEST" page.

[MediaBabe]

97. It did for me. GDP is gone from the Greatest

Have you updated your preferences? I don't even see any on the home page either.

[scarletwoman]

99. I just checked the Home page. There are two GD-P threads there in the "Greatest" list.

"If You’re An Obama Supporter… / If You’re A Clinton Supporter… Part 1"

and

"Maybe It's Time For A Little Smack Of Reality As It Relates To Obama's False Superiority."

On the Home page.

[Stinky The Clown]

98. Try it again

Its working for everyone who tries it.

[scarletwoman]

100. It doesn't take GD-P posts off the HOME page.

Yes, I've gone to the "Greatest" page, and I see that GD-P posts aren't showing there. But they ARE still showing on the HOME page.

See my post above.

[MediaBabe]

96. Gone!! Thanks for the help. Maybe the Greatest will be useful again

[scarletwoman]

93. I'm with you. I'm totally sick of seeing GD-P threads dominating the Home page.

Used to be, there would be useful and important information on the Home page. Now it's dominated by all the feces-flinging posts from GD-P. It's disgusting.

Remove the "rec" function from GD-P, just like it's been removed from I/P. It's the only sane thing to do.

sw

[FlyingSquirrel]

106. Go into options, edit preferences, choose "yes" for Hide GDP from

latest page. It will now also hide GDP from greatest page.

[scarletwoman]

134. I hid GP-D on the very first day that option became available.

I was commenting about GD-P threads on the HOME page -- NOT the Latest page, NOT the Greatest page. The HOME page.

THIS is the HOME page , for those who are confused about what "Home Page" means.

[struggle4progress]

101. It IS nauseating to have so much Dem bashing shoved in one's face:

neither O nor C was my first choice, but I'll certainly support either -- and I would really prefer to do that without having all the added baggage various zombies are trying to attach to both right now

[FlyingSquirrel]

104. Go into options, edit your preferences, then where it asks "hide GDP

from latest page" change it to "yes". That will now also hide GDP from the greatest page as of today. Yay!!!

[Support the ACLU]

105. Do you think it would stop the hate? I doubt it.

[donheld]

112. It would take the hate off the home page

That should appeal to everybody. Any more the home page is embarrassing.

[Blue State Bandit]

110. Do you think Democracy is supposed to be sterile?

Censorship is censorship is censorship. This is politics, in a political season. Would you have it so there was no debate? Just hop on whomever the DNC decides we should vote for? That we should just conform to keep things neat and tiddy?

This is how the game is played. It's not just Dem v. Rep. It's factional; tribal by nature. Thats how America does it. They argue poits of contention and view; expose flaws and weaknesses.

Without this process we would be sending an unvetted, untested lacky that could hand the keys back to the real enemies at the gate.

But GD-P is not where you hide your inbreeded cousins, it's where the tough questions are asked before the Republicans get to use these flaws, and weaknesses, and sorid tails of hidden agendas and dirty secrets as shit to sprinkle in your Cherrios in November.

Now I will admit, sometimes it's like the Roman Collocom in there. And yes, some are crossing the line with profain titles, and moronic flamewars, but this is not the full sum of GD-P. Passion fuels campaigns, and tempers flair, but would you expect anything less from a working democratic process? These are fire breething patriots with acid for blood, and they are forming the line of defense for whomever gets the nod in Denver. They will know as much as there is to know about our standard barer. We are the pitbulls.

But GD-P is not where you hide your inbreeded cousins, it's where the tough questions are asked before the Republicans get to use these flaws, and weaknesses, and sorid tails of hidden agendas and dirty secrets as shit to sprinkle in your Cherrios in November.

So if you want to raise the recommend threshold, great! How about to 10, 15, heck, 25. Ignore what's been going on here, or refuse to participate if you choose. But to cast GD-P down and deem it as "endless tit for tat bullshit" that has no redeming qualities worthy of this community you are missing the whole point of freedom, fighting for it.

[Tyler Durden]

116. Seeing as the Obama Camp is ahead in the GD-P "Rec Fest," I can understand your chagrin.

But your fellows will "Rec" any post with an "O" in it. If they won't be a little more grown up about this, then the board has to do it for them.

I see no "tough questions" being asked in GD-P. I see a war where the cats aren't just resisting being herded: they are being trained to fight in the pit.

Although, I've always wondered about letting students vote where they go to school. I re-registered in Ann Arbor the next day after my feet hit the ground.

133. Two of which are on the front page.

Should we strike them down?

I'm not defending the moranic profane posts,

those should be removed due to content.

But If your going to cast judgment,

explain how it's not newsworthy that Clinton's

campaign couldn't even get enough signatures

to seat all of it's PA delegates with the Gov

giving her almost 2 extra days? Or the drug theft

schemes of Cindy Mc Cain? I don't see them getting

much attention in Breaking or GD?

114. That would make the containment process complete.

I like the idea since there has not been much of value coming from GD-P that qualifies for the Greatest Page. I have found myself scanning the Greatest Page for something and then having to move on quickly because it is filled with such things as, "Why I am no longer voting for ________". I guess I just prefer that location to contain more relevant newsworthy issues/topics rather than the epiphanies that people are experiencing regarding the primaries.

117. Great page...

...or Greatest page?

118. DU needs this. Spinning Wheel Kick, with KEE-YAI ! nt

121. A REMINDER OF WHY I POSTED THIS:

I don't care WHO wished to drop their pants and show their ass. I have done it myself on occasion.

BUT WHEN IT IS ON THE PAGE WE SHOW TO THE WORLD...Then perhaps a little "restraint" is in order, and if it can't be voluntary, then perhaps we should use the rhetorical "tap to the backside."

It's embarrassing enough to sneak into there and see the divisive hatred without putting it on page one.

126. Because your candidate is losing?

You already changed the rules once, now go away.

[Tyler Durden]

128. Good Read "Carnack the Magnificent"

Since I'm not for either one of your babes in the sandbox, perhaps, little one, you should dry up and blow away.

Friend, when you see support for your candidate go Mediocre should they get the GE nod, you can count people like you as the reason it happened.

And that goes DOUBLE for Clinton supporters.

123. Kick for cleaning up the Home Page n/t

125. Changing the rules (again) won't change the news.

Hillary is toast. Deal with it.

[Tyler Durden]

130. Here's some "news" for you:

It's rude supporters like you on both sides of this issue that make for people who "Write In" candidates, if for no other reason than your attitude makes it impossible to stomach your candidate.

Be advised: I've stated I don't favor either, but with the baggage your guy is carrying, it would be very wise not to add to it with your attitude.

135. Kick

The greatest page in an embarrassment to all DU.
