How much more of this shit does DU have to endure?

[CatWoman]

:nuke:

[CorpGovActivist]

1. Ask Hillary and Bill when they plan to pack it in. n/t

[CatWoman]

3. *shoo*

go away.

I'm sick of your "Clinton Sucks" bull shit.

and the same goes for the "Obama Sucks" crowd.

[roguevalley]

64. I taught first grade for eleven years. Coming here sometimes,

Catwoman, is like going to work. I loathe this stuff. A pox on both sides.

RV, who loves Edwards class even more every day

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

113. "People are fucking people, and that is fucked up!"

"Deadwood" quote. One of my favorites.

Kind of a one-size-fits-all.

:rofl:

[grantcart]

28. Mar 4 . . . . Texas . . . .Finally over

[RiverStone]

102. Actually, March 5 will hopefully be the calm after the storm....

Our nominee will be set and Barack can focus on beating the puke machine....with lots of help from DU. :hi:

[emilyg]

35. You must be one of those "uniters".

[thereismore]

2. until one campaign calls it quits. Then everybody will be sorry and cordial again. nt

[Straight Shooter]

4. And the first response takes the high road.

70. Yup. A real shame.

:(

[LaurenG]

5. All of it?

I don't know, but yes, it's rough all over.

[cbayer]

7. Apparently not going away anytime soon, based on the first reply. nt.

[Hissyspit]

8. Maybe not until the convention, but before then, I would hope.

It has about ruined this place. I'm thinking about taking a break. I don't know. It's a shame.

[Window]

29. Yes, it's quite sad.

Long-time DU friends turning against one another; people we all admired at one time or another are getting dumped on because they endorsed one or the other candidates, etc. It gets worse every day. Never thought I'd see some of the things I've seen posted here on DU. Both sides are guilty of this behavior.

I have to take breaks every now and then. You should try it...it helps.


Peace :thumbsup:

[EvolveOrConvolve]

65. I haven't donated to DU in almost a year because of the increasingly

absurd and disgusting behavior that's allowed to occur.

I've taken several extended breaks from DU in the last year.

[MADem]

9. What shit? There's no shit that hiding the GDP forum doesn't solve, you know.

If you want to be more surgical, HIDE THREAD and IGNORE are your friends.

[CatWoman]

13. i'm afraid that if I did that, there would be nothing here.....

[davidinalameda]

17. the lounge is always open

[CatWoman]

23. so why don't you go there?

[davidinalameda]

45. I like it here

it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling

[awoke_in_2003]

114. Unfortunately

the hatred from both sides is spilling over into other areas. What started in GDP has trickled into Greatest, Latest, and elsewhere. Thank god it hasn't spilled into the atheist group (I know, saying thank god and atheist in the same sentence is kind of ironic, just force of habit).

[MADem]

22. It's an unfortunate byproduct of the season...kinda like owning rabbits and

dealing with rabbit shit, I suppose.

There's not much to be done about it, sadly. It'll just play itself out after we have a nominee.

[davidinalameda]

14. if you don't like it

stay away!

ignore has always been my best friend around here

[CatWoman]

21. and If I don't like your "advice"

can I ask you to go away??

I come to this forum for news, advice, insight -- among other things.

I see I'm getting none from you.

bye.

[davidinalameda]

44. don't let the door hit you

you can ask me to leave until you're blue in the face but guess what

I'm not going anywhere

[CatWoman]

53. I'd like to offer you the same advice

I have every right to express my dismay about the current poisonous atmosphere here.

BTW -- your "go to the lounge" advice is as stupid and as full of shit as your other advice.

I go to the Lounge when "I" want to, not when you or anyone else wants me to.

[davidinalameda]

97. if you don't like it leave

and you really need to think before you call someone else full of shit-I've read enough of your crap on here

I've been around long enough to remember your rants about Cynthia McKinney

are you still defending anti-Semites

[CatWoman]

99. what are you, a parrot

is that the whole of your vocabulary?

"if you don't like it, leave"

How about if you don't like this thread, leave?

I don't recall seeking your particular brand of "wisdom".

Go talk to a door or something -- maybe it will appreciate the wisdom of all things Dwickham.

[davidinalameda]

108. squawk baby

I love it when people give me a reason to put them on ignore

so I won't see your reply about whether or not you're still defending anti-Semites

[DemReadingDU]

110. Simple. don't read it n/t

[liberal N proud]

10. I couldn't agree with you more

I long for the days when we could have a civilized debate on issues and facts debunking the bull.

[H2O Man]

11. Some people

have even said rude things to and about me. I think we all agree that this is conclusive proof that the decay of western civilization has infected DU. Can things go any lower?

[CatWoman]

16. You?????

who was it????

I'll kick his or her ass!!!

:hi:

[Window]

36. LOL!

Yes, it pissed me off too.



Peace:thumbsup:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

42. I'll help.

It's one thing to attempt to sully my really great primary buzz I've been enjoying.

It's quite another to be rude to H2O Man. That's just uncalled for.

[tishaLA]

18. :)

No, they can't.

[Moochy]

20. Lol

Your post made me laugh, and is evidence of its inherent truth! :D

[awoke_in_2003]

115. Most of the insulters

are the 1000+ posters that have been here for 2 months. In 2 months they have shot their mouth off and now feel they can go around pulling shit on people who have been here a while- like you. Probably a bunch of teenagers.

[phantom power]

12. Everybody should take a break and go over to the E/E forum.

It's family fun!

[Parche]

15. OH MEOW

:hug: :hug:

:hi:


OH MEOW

[CatWoman]

25. awwwwwww

i love those kitty pics!!!

:hi:

[MoonRiver]

87. What a sweetie!

:)

[awoke_in_2003]

116. Is that your cat?

Regardless, it is cute as hell. I need to get a new kitten.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. Four More Years!

Just kidding.

Two more weeks.

[TZ]

59. I'm holding you to that promise Hooligan!

If its still nuts after two weeks..I'll...I'll...Well I don't know what I will do.....
ALthough maybe you should drag out your ignore song for certain people here. Certainly would be more entertaining than 90% of the stuff posted here.

[awoke_in_2003]

117. Make it a month

there will be at least 2 more weeks of crying and bitching by the supporters of the losing candidate to put up with.

[Forkboy]

24. Alright...jeeez. I'll go.

All you had to do was ask.

Yeah, right. :P

:loveya:

[CatWoman]

26. *smooch*

:hi:

:loveya:

[awoke_in_2003]

118. Hey, I just noticed something

that Trinity is sticking its tongue out at me. Must be a XXXX supporter :)

[AZ Criminal JD]

27. This is a political forum.

If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen as Truman said. You don't have to "endure" DU for even one more second if you don't want to.

[CatWoman]

30. I'd like to tell you where you can suck your heat from

but I'll abstain.

Don't fucking lecture me.

Now that's the end of my enduring "you".

[emilyg]

40. You were more polite than I was going to be. Thank you.

[AZ Criminal JD]

54. Don't have to be polite with me. Go for it.

[Armstead]

I think you maybe didn't realize who you were messing with

Catwoman is a long-time staunch DUer, and very popular here. And, trust me, she can stand the heat.

[AZ Criminal JD]

82. I am sorry I offended the Queen.

But clearly she found it too warm.

98. CW is a popular and beloved member of this board. You ...

not so much. (It's not that you're unpopular per se, you're simply insignificant).

[AZ Criminal JD]

109. I know there are people who attempt to establish cliques on this board

But unfortunately for them it is a relatively democratic board so even the insignificant can express opinions. That drives many, including you, crazy. As far as significance I will match my standing in the community I am in and my political career against "Catwoman" or pretty much anyone on this board.

[AZ Criminal JD]

56. Such language. My, my.

31. until clinton quits

[CatWoman]

33. why should anyone "quit"

and why should this place devolve into Romper Room in lieu of her or anyone else quitting?

[Yael]

32. March 5th?

:shrug:

[CatWoman]

34. Is that the date of the last primary?

[LostinVA]

50. No

[roguevalley]

67. last one is in may I think. God, can we live that long?

[bluerum]

38. I used to recommend DU to acquaintances so they could get a sense for

progressive issue positions.

I can't do that now. It's little more than a sophomoric screaming match with both sides covering their ears and closing their eyes.

I am embarrassed to admit that I hang out here now.

[deadmessengers]

39. When the nominee gives their acceptance speech at the convention

...and not one moment earlier. This convention's going to a floor fight, boys and girls - brace yourself, because it's going to suck for a while.

[marlakay]

41. We are one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was looking for a past post and found the one I saved for the day after Kerry lost. Someone started a post that said their real name and that they were never going to give up fighting. About a thousand of us chimed in. You could tell our hearts and tears were in the post and we were one.

It was good to be reminded. We are one!!

[Patsy Stone]

43. And really

how many votes does all this wasted bandwidth change? 0?

Some people like to argue because they have nothing else going on in their life. It's sad.

[terrya]

46. Hey, I dangled the offer of everyone meeting at a bar and getting drunk.

I tried, Catwoman. I tried. :-(

[Patsy Stone]

55. I didn't see that offer.

I would have accepted, but only if we can sing Karaoke too.

[LeftyMom]

47. Last time the primary wars were over and everybody sang Kumbaya come the Convention.

I don't know if that will happen this time. I think a lot of people who weren't enthused about shutting up about their issues in favor of party unity feel burned about last time, and the primary fight this time seems to be even uglier than that mess in '04 was.

Probably depends on how the convention goes. People here have short memories and are easily distracted. A few good speeches would turn most of them.

[awoke_in_2003]

120. Maybe my memory is faulty

but I don't remember it being quite so nasty in '04.

[RainDog]

48. more effective tactics, and far above the level of stuff here

oh, here's a good one...

I know you are, but what am I?





about candidates here are ineffective. if you think you're changing anyone's mind, you're


hALluCinAtINg

[RainDog]

52. oh wait, wait. I found the gd-p cyber meet-up

[Tatiana]

49. Four more months of this $hit, by my count.

Which, I guess, is better than "four more years!"

[THUNDER HANDS]

51. you could have just sent me a PM

allright, I'm going.

:yoiks:

It's always my fault. You, my fiancee, Santa Claus....

[CatWoman]

57. hahahahahahahaha

you nut, you!!!

:hi:

[miceelf]

58. on the bright side

It's much better in the real world. I have a lot of friends who support each (more Obama than Hillary, but that's my circle). And there really isn't much animosity toward the other side. I've lost a little respect for one side in the primary, but certainly not for most of the supporters, particularly in the real world.

[AlCzervik]

60. this place is a whole new level of nasty, "Shove it" and "STFU" are the words of the day.

and now---i'm out after being here a whole 5 minutes.

[Patsy Stone]

68. Shove it! And STFU!

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

71. i did, i rolled it up real tight and then i picked my favorite orifice, i will commence now

with the STFUpping.

:o

[Patsy Stone]

74. :)

Was it fun? I'll bet it was better than hanging out in this place. Maybe I'll try it.

[AlCzervik]

79. **I highly recommend it** after i watch KO i'll be watching a movie.

I rented 2 last night, Elizabeth the golden age---so disappointed and tonight i'm watching "The Brave one" with Jodie Foster, slim pickings at hollywood video!

[Patsy Stone]

81. LOL

**I highly recommend it**

Somewhere, I had a feeling you might have enjoyed it.

Hope your second movie is better than your first. Enjoy!

Last night was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Tonight, after KO, are lots of cheesy reality shows I've saved on TiVO. :blush:

[Rowdyboy]

61. Babe I am scared as shit that its going to last until August and there will be so much

rage built up that we can never reconcile. Someone will go home mad regardless.

Its so damned idiotic. Either one is a massive improvement on ANY alternative but these fools seem intent on self destruction and it increasingly looks like it may play out that way.

[CatWoman]

75. Rowdy

:hi:

always good to see you, Hon :loveya:

I'm seriously thinking about taking a mini DU vacation......

[PretzelWarrior]

62. until you realize your hypocrisy.

I'm guessing you're a Hillary supporter from my recollection of your posts. You should be telling Hillary and call off the dogs.

[in_cog_ni_to]

72. NO. Maybe YOU should be telling Obama to stop stealing speeches from people. n/t

[PretzelWarrior]

76. he wasn't. stealing speeches from others. P.S. Hillary stole from Obama

so what does that make her? The whore who takes sloppy seconds and then goes on the Jerry Springer circuit?

[in_cog_ni_to]

83. He ADMITTED HE STOLE THE SPEECH FROM DEVAL!

He admitted it! Even in the face of a "confession" you deny he stole it?:rofl:

[CatWoman]

78. oh my goodness.

do you ever listen to yourself? or to that little guy wearing the horns sitting on your left shoulder?

just what the fuck are you talking about?

It appears that reading AND comprehension skills are not your strong points.

I've been equally critical of both camps and this needless shit slinging.

I've said time and time again that I support 200 percent WHOEVER wins the nomination - at this point I don't give a fuck if it's Scooby Doo.

You need to take your guesses and peddle them elsewhere



"and the answer is, I'm a flaming fucking idiot"

[Armstead]

63. Maybe we should invite Carlos Jiacento back.

[Tatiana]

66. Well, he's got several brethren already here.

Actually, he was mule-headed and had some personal issues, but I didn't mind him so much.

[CatWoman]

80. best. answer. YET

:rofl:

How's it going, Doll?

:loveya:

[David Zephyr]

103. As neurotic as he seemed, at least he didn't run on anger 24/7.

Boy did you just conjur up a spirit or what?

[CatWoman]

107. the ghost of Carlos' grey eyes

be afraid; be very afraid :rofl:

[rove karl rove]

69. probably alot more...

at least until the DNC is said and done....cute cats btw.

[Crunchy Frog]

73. Oceans and oceans before it's over. n/t

[DarkTirade]

77. Awww... somebody needs a huuuug...

[MoonRiver]

84. I don't know, but I personally cannot take this shit anymore.

I check in, read for about one second, then move on to sanity. :crazy:

[RainDog]

90. I don't bother to come here, except for ms cat

there's nothing here worth reading because it's not worth all the crap replies. spinspinspin. anything to win. If I spent time here, I would probably not vote because whoever the candidate is, their a-hole supporters (or trolls claiming to be) make me sick.

HOWEVER, I stay away and I will vote for no other reason than demos are better than repukes. sad that that's the "choice" but until someone cares to pass laws to protect democracy from corporations, and tax laws to help maintain a middle class, then we get party-chosen candidates. sucks. but that's the truth if you are left of a northeastern republican.

[MoonRiver]

91. Yep. It's as if we're hamsters on a treadmill, frantically going nowhere.

Now I'm depressed. :(

[RainDog]

94. now?

I think the Bush years have made me physically sick. no joke.

any pretense that this is a functioning democracy was gone. they didn't and don't care if they show what criminals they are... criminals deserving of arrest and trial for crimes against humanity. then the midterms, which the dems then spinned away, rather than acknowledging that people in this country wanted them to stand up to these bastards... cause then they would've had to, kinda made me hit rock bottom for cynicism.

the carrots they, even now, try to make us believe... I'd be thrilled to see Cheney arrested for contempt, but I surely won't hold my breath.

I guess the dems don't dig into these things too much b/c some of them are complicit (beyond the total shit Lieberman... I won't ask who campaigned for him rather than the dem candidate, but guess...) in torture and rape and murder of innocent civilians, as the International Red Cross reported years ago.

I don't support Obama, really, because he's running as a "conservative" dem. But the other option is, to me, a 1000 times worse. If Hillary gets the nomination, I'll throw up in my mouth a little as I vote for her.

I've wanted to emigrate for 8 years now. I do apply for jobs that I'm qualified for in Canada (and elsewhere). I've thought about auctioning myself off on ebay... but don't know if you're allowed to sell yourself for humanitarian purposes.

what a waste of possibilities this nation has become - since JFK was murdered.

[citizen snips]

85. until the primary is over

than I hope everyone buries the hatchet.

[KoKo]

86. It's fine for you to be "Above it All" ...and only come out of "DU Lounge" when YOU see a Problem..

isn't it?

[CatWoman]

92. KoKo

contrary to your and popular belief, I don't spend a lot of time in the Lounge.

more unfounded, ridiculous, asshole assumptions. Anything to ignore the issue.

And, even if I did, I do portray myself "above it all".

Why do people keep trying to banish me to the Lounge?

[RainDog]

96. it's not "above it all" to avoid gd-p

this forum is a waste. why do you think hundreds of ppl on DU wanted you all to have to fight among yourselves here?

I did escape to the lounge, but that doesn't mean I don't read LBN or GD or EDs or Pvids. Like I said before, you all are fooling yourselves if you think you're doing anything other than making people sick of both candidates.

sorry, but that's the truth for a lot of us here.

[CatWoman]

100. frankly, I don't know what the hell she is talking about

par for the course, actually.

[McCamy Taylor]

93. How about doing some constructive criticism of McCain?

[CatWoman]

95. I've been posting about McCain in regular GD

and I did have a post about him in this forum the other day.

This forum is basically used to address the Democrats; not Republicans.

Look around you.

[RememberWellstone]

101. Hear, hear

I am already sick of these Obama stepford children walking in a lockstep trance.

[Occam Bandage]

104. One more day for every day that the Clintons are in the national spotlight.

[Johnny__Motown]

105. lots

[ileus]

106. Until there's a winner, then we can all unite again.

[Jade Fox]

111. Apparently both sides need to believe their candidate is perfect....

which can only be achieved by trashing the other candidate. It's the mentality of twelve year olds.

[DesEtoiles]

112. I don't know. Ask Hillary.

[oasis]

119. Ken Burns' "The DU Uncivil War" will be aired on PBS in April.

I can't wait. :bounce:
