Why not put guidelines on the Hillary, Lieberman, Iraq, DLC threads?

[kentuck]

also? Don't they sometimes get out of control? Everybody knows Hillary is going to win the nomination. Just as everybody knows Holy Joe Lieberman is going to get his ass kicked. And that the DLC is the reason the Democratic Party is in dire straits right now - what with their lite-Republicanism. And Iraq, we all know we are winning that mess and it's an opportunity for "democracy" across the Middle East. But, there is only one subject that we need guidelines for : Israel. Why? Just asking...

1. Is this new? Where are these guidelines?

2. The Democratic Party is in Dire Straits?

I thought they broke up when Mark Knopfler quit the band. :-)

3. Why are you so hung up on Israel?

The rules apply to threads about Lebanon, Hezbollah, AND Israel, not just. Did an Israeli run over your dog or something?

5. I'm trying to discuss it rationally...

but I think your post might qualify for a lock?

Do you really think you could not discuss Hezbollah, Lebanon, PLO, or whomever to your hearts content, if Israel was not also involved in the discussion? Huh? It's about Israel. Period. Most people see it. Just asking "why"? Is that topic verboten? :) Is it permissible to use that word?

I did notice that it was almost unanimous agreement with the other guidelines. But we know it is not really unanimous, don't we?

6. I actually don't think Hillary will get the nomination

Just because she winning the polls in 06 doesn't mean she will get the nominatio in 08. You remember Lieberman was the frontrunner for 04 in 02, right? How was Bill Clinton polling in 90? Not very well.
