completely impossible. and I mean Obama, Clinton and McCain people. I suspect that they outnumber the real people.


Reality does not exist on this board at all and logic has gone completely out the window.

Everything is mutually exclusive, there is no grey, flipflop like a mofo... i am saddened.

1. If you aren't exactly right, you're close to it.
It's quite difficult to have a REAL discussion.

7. People are just passionate
I seriously doubt DU is rife with campaign-funded posters.

But I give you points for not calling us freeps.

9. Most have already decided.
Its only going to be difficult, until you accept Obama won, and its over.
Were just here to clean up the mess.

10. I'm convinced most here know campaign talking points more than they do about their nation

and its actual historic record that exists, but very few citizens care enough about their country to actually READ.

Have YOU ever bothered to read any of the contents of the National Security Archives, THC, or the BCCI report, or the CIA drugrunning report, or anything SERIOUS from the last twenty or thirty years?

12. What do you mean by "campaign people"?
Paid employees or grassroots volunteers?

I openly admit that I volunteer my ass off for Obama, but that's it. I'm not paid by them and my posts are not influenced by them.

14. Interesting.
I had just come to that same conclusion myself last night. I also believe that there are many campaign people on all three sides working the message boards.

19. I think you're right.
I was first alerted to this with the whole "I'm going to donate my tax rebate to my candidate" thread.

22. because we are also the boots on the ground.
People like us are the activists, reliable donors, volunteers. Not all, of course, but many. If they can demoralize the base they think they can get ahead.
