I hope as we get closer to the election we will be allowed to have discussions of the polls and nuances of the campaigns, without every thread being hijacked by your performance art, attack activism.

If I read your response correctly you still didn't mention anything about who to vote for, or to not vote at all, you said your point is to continually bitch and point out the negatives of the Republican candidate.

On some threads that should be the very thing to do, but you can imagine how annoying it is to the rest of us that are trying to analyze the race.

You must realize at this stage, most of us know who we are going to vote for, now we are shifting into election mode where our focus is on defeating the opposition candidate.

Try to differentiate between a thread about the Governors work and a thread about the campaign.

In other words, you would like to be able to post unsubstantiated comments and have them go unchallenged?

If I read your response correctly you still didn't mention anything about who to vote for, or to not vote at all,

That is correct--because I don't know. I see only bad choices.

you said your point is to continually bitch and point out the negatives of the Republican candidate.

No. I said that politicians should be held accountable and called out when they stray from their promises or work agains the party they supposedly represent. Do you disagree with that?

On some threads that should be the very thing to do, but you can imagine how annoying it is to the rest of us that are trying to analyze the race.

I appreciate analysis. I'll be waiting to see some thoughtful posts, along with supporting rationale and data. I didn't see that on this thread.

You must realize at this stage, most of us know who we are going to vote for, now we are shifting into election mode where our focus is on defeating the opposition candidate.

Then perhaps the cheerleading would be more effective over at DU. Last I checked this was still a conservative forum for discussion about advancing conservatism (as opposed to a Republican Party campaign forum).

Try to differentiate between a thread about the Governors work and a thread about the campaign.

I probably wouldn't have said a word on this thread had I not been pinged to it and read the questionable comments about the work record.
