Reply #26: my "hide" and "ignore" buttons have been getting a work out [View All]

GD is so much nicer now. Can't tell you how many threads I've hidden over the past 3 days. I don't even bother reading the threads, if the title has any Dem candidate in it - it goes on hide.

the flaming, name calling and general rabidly-ripping-foaming-at-the-mouth has me totally disgusted and I not only refuse to participate, I also refuse to even give those posts credit for a "view"

I've been to each of the candidates websites, read all their material, and to tell the truth - there's not a hellavalot of difference between any of their positions.

Whoever gets the nomination and (crossing fingers) wins the white house will still have to work with congress - so the end result may not look like anything they have initially proposed. Campaign promises rarely resemble the end product.

We've been dragged into a deep hole and covered with shit for the past 7 years. Whoever takes the white house has tasks of humongus proportions to deal with - from domestic to foreign issues, taxes, the economy, immigration, foreign policy, WOT, energy, environment, health care, social security, education - you name it and it has to be fixed.

This election is historical in many respects - not only because this country has never been so broken, but also because this is the first time there is no 'sitting president/VP' running office in I don't know how many years, it's also the first time that members of minority groups are the frontrunners and stand an excellent chance of winning.

let's not be crabs in a bucket pulling each other down.
