Sure wish there were more people here willing to avoid the name calling.

That is all.

I don't do that. They seem to get more unhinged when I call the candidate names. nt

4. I haven't either.
The name calling is so juvenile. I wish I'd stop.

It's really hard to take someone seriously when they're name calling. :)

7. I don't do name calling.
I did get clobbered for calling them "The Clintons" a few times.

Notice I don't do that anymore because Bill pretty much took himself out of the picture.

9. I've been called a Hillary hater, an Obama Hater, an HRC/OBAMA LOVER
and recently I was told to quit "faking" my sig line!! :rofl:

I was actually ordered to remove it because it was quite "obvious" who I was supporting!!

And they didn't mean Dennis!! :rofl:

I think Skinner needs to stop selling 'hearts' and start selling Quaalude's or Prozac!!

:rofl:

11. Nor have I. I think it's insulting -- not to mention childish.
And it makes DU look bad, especially for members who wish to discuss the issues. Once the name-calling begins, all reasonable discourse is abandoned.




Peace:thumbsup:

12. For what it's worth, I throw the term "Obamite" around. But I don't intend it as a big insult.

13. Agree, and i have tried to help that trend along for some months now.
It got a lot of blowback, but the smarter DUers get it.
I appreciate my fellow high road dems.:hi:
