It just makes you look petty and stupid..
I mean who the fuck do you think you are converting?
You make more friends with an open hand than a clinched fist.
I am talking about both camps..

2. Not everybody is actually for the candidate they claim to be
Sadly the real supporters don't call out the truly nasty fakers, so the abrasive scumbags who post spam and attack others represent the candidates along with everybody else.

3. "You make more friends with an open hand than a clinched fist."
This is what Barack knows, and why indies and Republicans are moving toward him. It's a good lesson for all of us who love to hate Republicans (or each other).

8. That "open hand" is what I'm afraid of
The Pelosi/Reid Regime has already capitulated to Republican demands time and time again. Do we really want to concede a 2nd branch of government by electing another open-hander?

9. Being open-handed does not mean being spineless...
If you are confident in your positions and the wisdom of your vision, you can afford to be open-handed.

6. Lots of people here claim to be for a particular candidate and
spend all their time visciously attacking other candidates. I happen to think they are Republican moles trying to make candidate A or B look bad because of how nasty their "supporters" are.

Just my theory......

11. I have reason to believe this site has been infiltrated by Republican trolls
because no Dem in their right mind would spew such unfounded and completely ridiculous bullshit smears against Democratic candidates (both). The level of hatred on here often reeks of freeperdom.

No matter how bad we have it, keep in mind that the Repubes have it worse. Those suckers have to choose between McCain and Mitt. Bwahaha! Now THAT is a party that hates their own candidates!
