Shrill lies, distortions, and slurs do not represent "free speech".
They do not represent a "spirited defense" of your candidate.

They do not add to the political discussions on this forum.

They do not represent any thoughtful discussion of any kind.

They are merely a reflection of gutter politics, immaturity, and downright evil behavior and I've had enough. They may be in your "rights", but they certainly do not reflect well on you, this party, your candidate, or this forum.

Thank you.

3. Absolutely!
Unfortunately, people subscribe to the idea that negative talk is just as effective as negative advertising.

4. That's my opinion that he does not stand much of a chance.
I am not being impolite about it. Based on the evidence present, he is very unlikely to win the Democratic nomination. I am not passing a value judgement on his positions, which I largely support.

6. To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what you are talking about.
