Maybe hijacking is a better word than spamming. As I stated db, I responded to a ping and agreed with PKM's observation that way too many of threads (immigration, ports...pick a topic) become taken over by easily recognizable Bush bashers and degenerate into....crap. That's what I'm referring to.
Even if it isn't that same exact wordage or graphics (sometimes it is) these people use from thread to thread, it's the same purpose and dynamic. In many cases the thread topic (immigration etc.) becomes secondary to their real purpose (attacking the President).
And week after week, issue after issue, it becomes a tiresome distraction to the thread and FR overall. I'm tired of it, apparently so are others. I can be unhappy with the Pres and congress about the illegal immigrant situation without using repetitive language that denigrates the office of POTUS or our own congress, hence our country
Probably more explanation that you wanted, or even needed. But there it is.
Well, terminology does matter. I don't think the threads are being hijacked - instead, I think this represents the level of dissatisfaction over Bush's positions on illegal immigration.
I would venture that if you and PhiKapMom and others directed a bit of ire up at the Bush Admin, it might change things - because the Bush Admin needs to hear from all sectors of the GOP and realize that it is running grossly counter to the base on this issue, and that, since Bush will not be up for re-election again, they need to subvert their guest-worker agenda when necessary for the good of the GOP House members up for re-election this year.
I am not happy with the Bush Admin and the RINO senators like Specter and Graham and McCain at all. But I stand firmly behind the GOP House, and IMO that stand is about the future of the GOP - and I see Bush threatening such. So you need to make a decision here - do you continue to defend Bush here, who will never face re-election again, or do stand up and demand that he quit hurting the chances of the House GOP in the 2006 elections?
Very good -- hijacking is a much better word. I have seen some of the same posters on thread after thread with their snide remarks that have nothing to do with the subject.
This is the first I have been back on since I posted and came on read what rationale people have to say like you! :)
