2. I'm with you
I've had to pull away ... even from people that I know.

Even my republican family members who are spamming me with how the democrats are going to turn us into canada crap are less freaky than some of the people here.

Wow.

11. So happy to see this thread...
Hopefully, the primaries will fly by and we can be one happy family again by September.

Being around here during the primaries is beyond unpleasant.

13. I'm not certain I qualify since another DUer just told me her cat looked like mine and my response
was:

:wow: "Your cat looks like Harvey the 6 foot rabbit too?"

If I have my sense of humor intact, can I pleeeease hang out here? Pleeease? :hug:

14. Lots of fanatics out there.
Frankly, the fanatics on each side sour me against their candidate.

I was going to vote for one of those still actively campaigning, but I've decided to vote for Edwards, my favorite, anyway, as a protest vote against the craziness and religious ferver both candidates seem to create in their followers.

24. Good for you......
I remember voting for Kerry in the Georgia primary because Dean was already gone by the time it got to us and it really left me with a sour taste doing it.

15. I've never been what most people would call sane, but
I've been right about the writing on the wall on more than one occasion and I say we got trouble in the Democratic Party.


I'm checking in anyhow.

19. I've been at work all morning, trying to get motions filed in court, and
snuck a quick peek in here on my 15 minute lunch break. Couldn't believe what it had devolved into.

22. I believe in childishly attacking both candidates equally.
It's my way of promoting a draft-Gary-Hart movement at the convention. How's my plan working so far?

31. I haven't been hanging out here as much lately. BECAUSE of the
anti-candidate A and anti-candidate B freaks.

Sad. Another Mission Accomplished(TM) for them, I suppose.

37. It is true, the iota isn't worth what it used to be.
And sanity just doesn't go as far as it used to.
By the end of each month, we're tattered.

39. It's impressive, but a fairly large percentage is due to a relatively small # of posters
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 07:38 PM by depakid
who repeatedly post the same sorts of inane things (sometimes, it seems, just to get a reaction).
