Some people don't understand politics
Here's a little Politics 101 for those who need it (others feel free to add to the primer):

1. Politics IS a game (it can be likened to chess)
2. Politics will never please all of the people, all of the time
3. In politics your personal goals and beliefs most likely don't match mine
4. No one candidate is perfect. Each will have flaws that you have to decide personally if you can overlook to support him or her
5. The people who run a presidential political campaign often know exactly what they're doing (surprising, I know)
6. Trying to cause dissension a month out from election day is a good way to get your ass tombstoned (that's the politics of DU)
7. If you're going to post several huge rants/whines about our candidate, please know a little something about the political process before stepping so deeply into it and then getting your feelings hurt because people "flame" you.
