Big picture here people...
In the big picture of things.... does a snubbed handshake matter?? you are all looking so foolish right now...
we are in an unnecessary war
our economy is in the toilet
our election system is still screwed...
but you are fighting over a snubbed handshake...

1. Let's talk about ISSUES
like what are Clinton, Edwards, and Obama planning to do to:

1. Help bring jobs back to the US

2. Help the environment

3. Help the homeless

4. Help make sure we all have adequate healthcare

9. I am with you!
Sadly it has been tried, with little results. I posted several threads, others have, and yet the stupdity keeps taking over the board.

I want each candiate to tell us the same things you posted. I am tired of the fighting between our "frontrunners", I want some substance on how they will take care of the mess Bush has put this country in.

4. Why are you posting a new thread on this (the hundredth) if it doesn't matter?
WE need a GD: Handshake forum if this keeps up....and it's all "Nothing to see here, move along, how DARE you mention it!" threads!

What are you afraid of?

Why are you talking about this if you're worried about the economy? Why aren't you ranting in another forum about that "important" topic?

Something stinks up in here, and it ain't my feet!

:rofl:

8. It only "matters" if we keep talking about it.
:shrug: The "snubbed handshake" that is.

10. Yep
But there are so many on here that "won't" stop talking about it. It distracts from the "real" issues, and sometimes I think that's what they want, then they don't have to try and explain why their candidate isn't talking about these things, the real issues!:eyes:

11. Yes. It matters.
This is how he treats people who oppose him. He's running as a uniter not a divider, isn't he?

But if you want to go to substantive, be my guest: describe the wonderful "tranformative change" that Barack will bring.
