The attack & smear jobs here are out of control. Honestly.
Everyone needs to take a deep breath and count to 105.
It is OKAY that not everyone supports the same candidate.
But you can say it nicely, without starting a raft of crap.
The "Obama's a thief" and "Clinton's a bitch" threads HAVE GOT TO STOP.
One of them is going to be the nominee and one of them is not. Do we really have
to alienate each other so much that when it comes time to possibly vote for someone you
did not support in the primaries, you can do it with a smile on your face instead of a grimace?

Can we not start focusing on what WE HAVE IN COMMON, instead of what is
so clearly dividing us?

As an Edwards supporter, I felt/feel strongly about my candidate.
I know that the same can be said for all of the Clinton, Obama & Kucinich supporters.

We need to unite now and DEMAND the changes we want to see from our candidates.

So, no matter WHO you support, GOOD LUCK this primary season. (All three)

No need for bloodshed!!

2. I look at those posts and sigh
reminds me of when I taught elementary school.

Basically, ignore them. And then rec and kick threads that are constructive in what they say.

5. There is nothing to smear but smear itself.
The idea now is to contain the crap in GDP.

The Alert tab is our friend.
