You have been here since 2004, this will be your fourth presidential election cycle here. You know as well as I do what happens here every cycle, we get inundated with newbies that are actually surrogates, they use this site for their campaigns, posting articles, trolling threads, this is nothing new.

To paint this as some nefarious scheme is ludicrous on it's face, it is what it is, and is easily seen through. If you don't think that there aren't a lot of Trump's people here doing the same thing, then you aren't paying attention. They are all here, because they know the power of this site. As far as Palin goes, endorsements mean squat to me, I vote for the candidate, not the surrogate. The only endorsement that would sway me would be from Christ himself, and I don't see him coming in the clouds to weigh in on this election. We are on our own on this one.

As a side bar, I find it interesting that you support Trump, considering his stance on Kelo, and the brief history you give in your reply. To each his own, I guess. We all have our reasons for who we support, and we haven't had a perfect candidate since Washington, so I get it. It is officially wabbit season, after all...

Thanks Kush, I actually do appreciate your posts and your point of view. I have stated many times in over the past few months that I have reservations about Trump. And you are correct I have been here through several presidential elections and things do tend to get contentious. To me this time seems much worse than normal. The poor moderators must be pulling their hair out trying to keep the peace.

I guess which side you feel is worse may depend largely on who you are supporting. ; ) But I have to say as someone who had some difficulty deciding which candidate to support the negative posts mostly pushed me in the opposite direction than they were intended. This was especially true after people started attacking Sarah Palin. Many of these posts were completely untrue character assassination. If she had endorsed the other guy the same people would be praising her and endorsing her as his running mate. I find this kind of disingenuous BS very disturbing.

As someone who has been involved with numerous politicians over the years... some endorsements mean nothing and some mean everything. It all depends on who is doing the endorsing. Sarah Palin’s endorsement means a lot to me.
