“Concepts like honor and integrity and duty are lost on the political types...”
I have seen more puerile tripe posted here in the last few months as I have seen in 2 years : )

the victims of childish and down right purile dirty tricks.
That's "puerile" and it means "childishly foolish; immature or trivial."

How about making it so you can only add your own keywords?
If you see a thread and have one to suggest you can PM the originator or put it in a post.
For example if I posted an article about the Cubs being sold. One of you might think I should add mark cuban to the keywords. So you could PM me or say “Hey dleecomeback add mark cuban”
A general thing about Romney and I like him myself is how is making comments about his religion any different than someone making comments about Obama’s color?

I think this is going to be one of the more interesting elections if not the most interesting one in a long time.
Serious battles for the nomination on both sides for starters. I could see the final 2 on each side going down to the wire for the nomination.
And I think the general will be very close.

If anything exemplifies the difference look at the Elizabeth Edwards thread here compared to their Tony Snow thread.

Got it. That makes alot of sense. It was pretty weird because gallantry is more often associated with positive attributes. Thank you for the clarification.

If you can't manage a reasonable level of maturity, then there's a whole bunch of like minds over at DU you can have fun with.There's a whole bunch we can have fun with here. The unwashed DUers are signing up in droves.
To: Reaganesque
The thread was several days old but it would be nice if the abuse reporting works.
Anyone who calls Rep. Paul the devil in light of the Hildebeast is smoking something pretty strong.

Ive read many of the Rudy threads too. IMO, the mud-slinging, personal attacks and childish comments have been posted by some of those on both sides of the Rudy debate.Oh, I agree with you. Some of the things I've seen non-Rudy supporters say have made me cringe. I think there are idiots on both sides.

A more insidious problem, IMO, has been the dilution of dialog over the past few months, with the emergence of sleaze/"entertainment" threads that get posts up in the 10s of thousands.
Unfortunately, trends on Free Republic have tended to mirror trends in the MSM lately. As the MSM has printed more vapid crap on their websites, the number of articles about vapid crap posted here has increased. Vapid crap sells because people are interested in vapid crap.
How about making it so you can only add your own keywords?
That's an overly broad response to a relatively minor problem that maybe affects 5% of things posted. Sometimes, the original poster doesn't use any keywords. I've occasionally added keywords on topics of interest (like the Sandy Berger caper) so that I can find all of the articles later if I wanted to search for it.

Rudy supporters tend not to trash other candidate cuz were a cheery lot. We like all the candidates but we just prefer Rudy. If Rudy doesn'tt get the nod you'll we will find close ranks behind the nominee. What makes Rudy threads like DU is the fault of the RudyHaters. A cheery lot?!? Now you all have to quit making me laugh like this, it's hurting my sides.

I think it's obvious that these lowlifes are
NOT Conservatives. You've been here long enough to know we get our share of infiltration. Sometimes the dims try subtlety, but more often than not, it's blatant childishness like this. Sorry it's happened to your threads.

I’ve just got to add that I think this is one of the things that makes me think DU when a lot of Rudy supporters post. It’s not so much that they trash the other candidates, it’s that they speak down to other posters in patronizing tones as if they are so much more mature and intelligent and above the rest of the posters.
