You know you all are killing me here...right?
Four times this morning, I was ready to post some nasty, snarky response to various idiots in GD Politics...and ended up backing out before I posted because I remembered that now that I'm sporting my spiffy new Biden Avatar, I have to behave as Biden supporters do. Crap. This is worse than lent. I may need a drink. Probably more... given the tone of GD Politics these days.:evilgrin:

1. have a seat in the jacuzzi
relax... go ahead and post, all points are valid. just remember to not insult, back up your assertions with articles and fact, be a straight shooter. like our Guy Biden USE YOUR HEAD! try to not get too emotional. have a thick skin. if you would like a list of videos of Biden give me your email in a private message ill be happy to provide. it is in word. I offer vids as Biden can stand on his own. and can (most days)express himself better than we can.:patriot:

2. Well, it's like it was back in '04 when I had my Clark bumper sticker on my car.
I don't consider myself an aggressive driver, but it seems that back then, I was UNUSUALLY conscious of my driving behavior as I made my way through traffic. :)

Now with James Madison sitting as my avatar (he's always been my avatar) I have a little more leeway to make some criticisms. I never wanted Wes to be held responsible for anything I had to say.

Having said that, I do enjoy seeing all those photos of Joe, :thumbsup: just as I enjoyed seeing the ones of Wes. :)

Yep, She started all the 'be nice' regulations that have served the Iowa Forum so well. :patriot:

That's why I like her so much (well, that and she's funny as HELL!).

5. Stay cool
When you start to get aggravated, just click on http://kittenwar.com/ and browse through the kittens for a few minutes. Then go back on the boards.

Remember how many quiet people have spoken up because "Biden supporters are so nice". If you slip up, be sure to apologize.

Congratulations on your self control this morning!

6. No kidding! This morning I came THIS CLOSE to just writing
Fuck You.

to some jerk, but I pulled back at the last moment. I got it out of my system by hollering it at my monitor.

7. We are the Good Guys!
No matter how much it hurts!!!!

People are drawn to us and by association to Biden. They may be backing another candidate, but most have a 2nd or 3rd choice. How we respond could affect whether Biden is that choice.

If someone is obnoxious, it is best to move along. And RAVE people are best ignored. For the most part, they aren't really serious about politics if they can't see the really serious problems we're facing.

11. Give the love- not the hate
Edited on Mon Oct-29-07 09:07 AM by mrigirl
You'll respect yourself more in the morning. What I like about our group is that we don't get down and dirty and attack other posters. We can attack a poster's comment all we want- but we have a certain level of respect for other people which some groups here on DU do not. So smile!
