A modest proposal:

[Julien Sorel]

Start master threads bashing each candidate titled '<Insert candidate's Name Here> Sucks!'

So, to use my own favorite as an example, I would start a thread titled 'Clark Sucks!', and then, whenever someone wanted to bash Clark, they could post in that thread. That way they could get some of their bile out, everyone else could ignore the thread, and this board would save the bandwidth associated with the endless number of threads devoted to each topic.

If the generic 'Sucks!' isn't specific enough, we could tailor them to each candidate. So Dean's might be, 'Dean will lead the party straight to a 435-0 defeat in the House.' Kucinich's might read, 'Kucinich Can't Win.' Sharpton's wouldn't even need his name in it, we could just have one titled 'Tawana Brawley', whereas Lieberman's name alone would alert everyone where to go to bash him. Think of the time we'd save clicking through multiple threads that say the same thing over and over. And if we need to pull out a gratuitous insult during a debate, we can zip over to that candidate's bash thread, find one we like, and recycle it. It would be like an index! I'm telling you, this is the way to go.

1. Genius!

Absolute genius! You've got my vote... Clark doesn't :-)
