I haven't posted in GD2004 in a week and I'm a happy man.

I really don't care what happens in there. I've made my choice, and will support WHOEVER gets the nomination, whether it's the candidate I want or not. I'm sticking to GD, the Lounge, and all the other forums, but GD 2004 is a cesspool of iniquity. I didn't know liberals were capable of such hatred, especially of each other.

I wish to say to all the people currently fighting the candy-date wars in GD 2004: WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER.


Now, who's up for some fresh air...and cookies!?

3. You know, it's actually not so bad ...

If you read a thread before it has more than ten posts on it. I was just punching 'Latest' threads over the weekend, so some of them were in GD:2004, and there was a lot of positive stuff, as long as it was the candidate's supporters, unaffiliated people -- and usually Kucinich people, who often are civil as long as the post isn't about slamming DK -- posting. As soon as anybody else came in, though, the threads were demolished. By the time they have fifteen posts, they're not worth reading anymore.

7. sharpton dean and his cabinet which brought up race and aff.act

its dying down now ithink and hope

8. Nope, that post has 285 replies.

And eeryone's repeating the same arguments over and over based on their candidate preference, rather on the substance of the issue at hand. 'S kinda stupid. Dean's not a racist, and Sharpton's got a point...so now what?

[rumguy]

9. it truly is just the same stuff repeated over and over again!

ARRGH....

[RandomKoolzip]

10. I know.

There hasn't been a single piece of constructive advice in that thread or in ANY of th' threads in GD2004 in SO long, it's frustrating. and time-wasting. Like listening to a Clear Channel station: same shit everyday, in different running order.

It's like this: Okay, now we know Candidate X has problems. Now, what do we do to solve the problems? Or do we just wanna bitch about the candidates?

It's gotten so bad, I read Skinner's new note tonight and almost cried. Please people, WE'RE IN THE SAME BOAT! Don't capsize us, okay?

[RandomKoolzip]

6. Yeah, I know what happened...I READ some threads if there's

a legitimate news item to be gleaned. But I'm Switzerland, baby...Neutral, lukewarm, etc. Blah blah, Dean's a racist, blah blah Clark's a repub, balh blah Kerry is an elitist, etc etc. Nope. Sorry, don't care. I can't get worked up enough to actually PUT DOWN a potential leader of my team. I mean, we're all on the same side, right?

BTW, I like ALL the candidates; the only dude in the race I do not like is Bush. (And Lieberman, but c'mon, he's mildew anyways.)

[Rattlesnake]

12. I've never posted in there...

[DS1]

13. It's a pointless deadlocked forum

[SoCalDem]

15. It's like when I was in The Meeting Room

And had the absolute NERVE to ask the astrologers for real evidence. :evilgrin:

[FrankBooth]

16. You nailed it.

I never go in there anymore either. I'll wait until the Dem unity is back ... which it will be as soon as the nomination is decided.
