Hey Rocket.... is it any wonder we "Obama fans" get riled up with people like bigjon on the prowl?  I've never once started a political thread, but I've been baited into plenty by this guy.

For every bigjon, there are five ultra-liberals on this board who slam McCain at every opportunity. Just think of some of the ridiculous threads over the past few weeks surrounding McCain and, in particular, Palin.

Are there obnoxious conservatives on this board? Of course. But they're few in number compared to the multitude of vocal liberals around here.

 

 

QFT - And we should know...we have to read drivel from both sides of the political(stupidity) spectrum as mods. When these debates get going both sides seem to ignore basic reason and instead tend to argue from bigoted indignation. Often times ignoring the gigantic piece of common ground that ends up serving as "the elephant in the room".  And when the absurdities get pointed out on either side they reply with a "that's politics" before returning to their slogans of "no more politics as usual".

Luckily Montana has been doing a great job lately policing this stuff and getting to it before me (/thumbs up), I truly appreciate not having to get my stress levels up when I typically come to the site to relax =P Thanks Montana!

Thanks Sqrl, I do try. And it means so much to hear it from you...I think I might have a tear in my eye!

I agree with Rocketpig that both candidates are basically, down to their core, full of shit. And it's not their fault. Before they ran for president, they were two of the greatest politicians in the country. McCain was a moderate who wasn't afraid to disagree with his party and stick to his beliefs over those whom he worked with, and Obama was the only black in the senate with great ideas for the state of Illinois. But now look at both of them. They've both become so desperate to win that they resort to attacks that range from petty and pathetic to over the top and ridiculous. And this has happened with nearly every election, so I guess we should be used to it by now. I only hope that whoever loses can still go back to the senate and help move the country forward.
