Are you just worn out from this unbelievably contentious primary battle?
And please this is not a thread for bashing the other supporters candidate ok?


I am just weary and becoming detached from what's going on. I'm leaving next Friday for 16 days and this trip could not come at a better time.

10. It's vicious and vile.
Never seen it like this and I've been here since early 2002. Even Bush didn't get this type of hatred.

14. we treat our own worse than our enemies, i used to chalk that off to "We're better than the gop"
"We expect more from dems" but now i'm not so sure.

17. I sense a lot of unstable, uninformed, and overly emotional people who
just want to get into a fight over anything.

6. I hate it. It's ripping the party in half and if it continues much longer
we're doomed in November.

18. I'm worn out and have a headache everytime I log in.
It takes forever just to wade through all the hate and slim to find real news.

20. Oh, and I gave you a rec.
I have broken down a few times and posted on a couple of GDp's, but I had also been drinking at the time. Now I try to stay away from the computer when I'm drinking.

21. Sick Of The BS, But At This Point, It Starts Rolling Right Off My Back
I've been de-sensitized! That's it!

22. Yes, I had to pull back...
I was really exhausted and sick of this entire process. I definitely
have primary fatigue. It's been a longer primary than usual and also
a more contentious one. Plus, there's never been more at stake.

It's difficult.

I envy you--going an a two-week trip. That's exactly what I need right now.
I spent 10 days in Disneyland last November, and it was nice to not read or
hear anything political. I want that feeling back.

I can't believe that we have six weeks until PA. Gag. It will be interesting
though.

I have pulled back from watching CNN and posting. I'm at the point where it
all feels unhealthy.

Can you imagine how both of our candidates feel? I hope they're eating well,
because they're sure as hell probably not sleeping well.

23. oh yeah, i'm sure sleep for them is at a really unhealthy minimum. When i do fly on the 22nd
i'm bringing only fiction to read, some mindless clap trap and nothing political.

24. Yes. Have been for a week or more. I avoid the shows, read only threads
that look non-controversial, or are for Obama supporters. I hid GD:P from my latest page and only venture on here once in a while.
I turn off the news when they start to cover the primary. I know who Isupport and none of the day-to-day bickering is going to
change that. If something really BIG happens, I know I'll hear about it whether I'm looking for it or not. :-)

I figure I'll just stay out of the fray until we have a nominee. It's not worth stressing about since I can't do much about it.
