D U has turned into a Nit Picking Board...read the thread headlines...all I see is

[opihimoimoi]

a hugh amount of nit picking going on....whats up with that?

Could it be distractions and diversions....?

Hardly any discussions of series matters...only that of Moot shit...

We are under attack from unseen enemies of the TRUTH.....

Vote Blue...Fuck Red

[pitohui]

1. the two front runners really have about the same platform

therefore you can either remain silent and be happy that either candidate will be a HUGE improvement over the GOP -- or you can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and pick nits

i agree that some of this crap has to be shit stirring from our enemies, no doubt whatsoever to my beady little mind

[opihimoimoi]

4. I also have a damaged brain....but I can see the shit stirring reaching hyper speed

here at DU

I guess its par for the course....sigh....

[JuniperLea]

10. Yesterday I made a comment on a thread...

And I had two responses... one was to call me a Hillbot... the other was to ask if I kissed Obama with this mouth.

I kid you not. THAT is how far down the toilet this place has gone.

There seems to be no room for plain old rational thinking here anymore. You're either for my candidate, or you are for McCain. Sounds a lot like: you are either for the war, or you are for the terrorists.

[opihimoimoi]

17. Its sad that the National discourse has followed the PUB Influernce

Keep it simple

Play to the Fears, etc

Its all they got given their record of governance, BS and moot minutiae

[Patsy Stone]

2. I want to know when, exactly, DUers became okay with illegal searches

of anyone, ever, regardless of party or personal preference?

[papau]

3. True - the Obama outrage is followed by near zero outrage over Hillary's passport file being exposed

[Patsy Stone]

6. I am even pissed off about McCain's

Or, as I said in another thread, even if it was just a celebrity, or me, it's still bad.

[JuniperLea]

8. On the news, on DU... same all over...

I've heard about Hillary's once... and Obama's about a bazillion times.

[opihimoimoi]

16. Keep the Brazilians outta this...lol

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

20. It's bad enough that they're fighting in Iraq...

and dying three at a time....Several times a day....At least here on DU!

[JuniperLea]

25. LOL!

:rofl:

[Tellurian]

19. They're the new 'politcs of change' crowd

I guess the change they're talking about coming is virulent and violent..

[SeaLyons]

21. Certainly feels that way

[opihimoimoi]

24. Has it come to the point where the Peeps FEAR CHANGE, even for the Better?

Looks that way....

[SeaLyons]

29. Peeps?????

What do you mean?

[opihimoimoi]

31. Opi speak for People...lol...srry for confusion....

[DearAbby]

11. A-fecking-men..n/t

[SeaLyons]

22. Amen!!

[sam sarrha]

5. first... 'remove' all GD-Primaries... from the discussion.. answer/NO, ..GD-P is a sewer of Freepers

there are no redeeming qualities to be found there, other than a few Edwards people who stand for the "Only adults in the room".

you can not judge DU for any behavior in the GD-P or the lounge/it is simply a free speech Zone... PERIOD.. if you do, you are a Troll with an agenda. i take free speech seriously, even tho i do not go into GD-P.

[opihimoimoi]

7. I agree, hence the thread...Very concerned with discourse level being what it is

But then,,,,,Skinner guys flummoxed as well...

[JuniperLea]

12. Well said

I'm so happy to see this little gathering of rational adults, I could just go iron something!

[JuniperLea]

9. SANITY THREAD ALERT! SANITY THREAD ALERT!

OMG! OMG! OMG!

Is it true? A sanity thread on DU? I'm so glad I was sitting down, or I would have fallen down!

Thank you thank you thank you! You've given me more hope than I've had in weeks! There are still sane people on DU! Oh joy!

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

13. Who is this "Hugh" you speak of?

And why is he picking nits?

[JuniperLea]

14. LOL! I'm series! eom

[opihimoimoi]

15. Me 3...................oops.... ..vote Blue...get series answers to many probs facing (we)

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

18. It's because they are so similar...

Hillary will protect Roe v. Wade. So will Obama.

Obama will work to create jobs. So will Hillary.

Hillary will bring the troops home. So will Obama.

Obama will protect the environment. So will Hillary

They're both Democrats, for fuck's sake, and they have very similar voting records. So there's nothing left to do but make mountains out of molehills.

[opihimoimoi]

23. Well said...when the dust settles....I will vote BLUE

McCane is McBush...both poor thinkers and booze hound damaged....

[JuniperLea]

26. Welcome to DU, Jeff!

I think you just touched on something here... I remember feuding with a cousin and we were always at each other for the dumbest things (early teens, sheesh). Until my aunt told us we only fought because we were so much alike. That pretty much ended that feud!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

27. Thanks!

And the thread the other day where you were accused of support both Hillary and Obama was a scream.

[JuniperLea]

30. Glad you liked it!

It's still a favorite of mine. Speaks volumes about Kool Aid poisoning in both camps and the inability to keep a broad perspective.

I'll be so glad when this is all over.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

34. Remember when we hated the Republicans?

Ahhhh. Good times....

[opihimoimoi]

36. Them Pubs made nit picking a National pastime...they got us Dems nitting among ourselves

[Swamp Rat]

28. You are now dead to me opihimoimoi!

5th rec. :D

[opihimoimoi]

32. Mahalo Mucho for Rc'd..come, we fishing for mahimahi...forget the moot

:toast:

[specimenfred1984]

33. 90% of the U.S. population is thoroughly and completely brainwashed

Even worse, it's not in the usual method of brainwashing against someone's own will, people have let themselves be dumbed-down to the point where almost all people are incapable of anything but gossip, smears, fear-mongering and propaganda repetition.

The U.S. is built on propaganda, both corporate and government. Selling an idea is much bigger than truth--just look at the WMD conspiracy and idiocy. We are a nation of sheep who is slowly waking up but it is very, very slow.

[opihimoimoi]

35. The pace is sickeningly slow..I wish we could expedite it somehow but am flummoxed

:toast:

[GeorgeGist]

37. Picking nits from the unseen enemies of TRUTH ...

is quite an illusion. Are you a Magician perhaps?

[opihimoimoi]

38. No...are you blind???
