3. Have a problem with 2, wait, 3 of these... |
|
"electable - has a lot of money"
Us Clarkies were playing up our candidate's electablity when his campaign didn't have any money to speak of.
"opposes the war - believes he can do a better job of running the war"
Your own opinions are showing here...
"Candidate Disclaimer: I do not support any of the candidates"
Do you even plan to vote in the primaries? Or are you just slumming?
:)

4. The rules of this forum require that posters state |
|
which candidate they support.
The original post is intended to be humorous. I understand that humor is very offensive to many people, and I support your freedom to read posts that do not contain any.

You're being a little touchy. I think your post was funny. I'm not attacking you, just a little critique...

6. You are right. I am. I knew that sooner or later somebody |
|
would decide that I was talking about their candidate and go whining off to the wizards, but I wanted it to stay up long enough for the other people who can't read more than 3 or 4 posts of this forum without spitting coffee.
I'm glad you think it's funny, I'm sorry I snapped at you.

15. Useful for much more than just the primaries forum |

It's also a great guide for decoding pundit-speak.
