1. Don't go to the "dark side".
Just remember:

"Never try to teach a pig to sing. It doesn't work, and it annoys the pig"

And,

"If you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig"

:hug:

2. I spend very, very, little time there.
I think at some point I said to myself, "Why am I doing this to myself?". It's the exact same feeling I get when every now and then I'll check out freeperville. About 10 minutes in I ask myself that question. I mean, it always bums me out and I just have to leave. It's futile to engage, and infuriating to observe.

I'll go to GD:P just to get a feel for what the hot topics are, but I don't spend much time reading through threads. I don't know how some of those people are ever going to support the other candidate after the nomination. It'll be half a year till the election, so maybe time will heal some things. I hope so, because there's going to be a lot of resentment after the primary no matter who wins.

3. It's more fun today than it has been in a long time!
Being half-crazy is just sorta sad and scary, but full-blown Margot Kidder crazy is kinda funny.

24. Being screamed at

Oh well :shrug:

4. No more "sex-sex marriage" references there to lighten things up? Too bad...

What an awful place it is.

23. Rev Wright is not worth getting that excited about
He is entitled to his views, and his point of view comes from a perspective which is worth understanding, but the screaming matches over him? Huh?

14. I'm becoming more and more convinced we're gonna lose
I gotta get out there more, but still. At this point I'm wondering if I should just focus on state and local races.

The blame game will be in full swing. :hide:

17. I told a longtime friend of mine
who tried to pick a fight over Hillary with me that I cannot afford to lose my marbles over a horse race.

16. I've avoided it since the Ohio primary
My vote is cast, and none of the arcane petty bullshit they're arguing about in GDP is going to change my mind. I just want to beat McCain.

Mine is too. I've done my part until we have a nominee.

25. I'm leaving the country for two weeks on May 10. Do you think it'll be worse or better
in GDP when I return on Memorial Day weekend?

Will Rev. Wright be an afterthought by then, or an ongoing nuisance?

27. It will be interesting to see what the European CNN and the International
Herald Tribune will have to say.

I plan to be doing too much walking and eating to get much news, however. I REALLY want to get away from all this...
