I'm afraid I can't agree with you there, friend. From where I sit, it began when a group of folks foisted a faux-conservative on others and insisted that this is the only candidate capable of beating Hillary (and that any debate on the matter during this primary season would only strengthen the Dems).
Hopkins: Well, in all my years I ain't never heard, seen nor smelled an issue that was so dangerous it couldn't be talked about. Hell yeah! I'm for debating anything...
Lewis Morris: Courteously.
Step back from the monitor and think a minute. Nobody here foisted a candidate. He decided to run. He's a factor.
Some people, in fact some people I like, said they'd support him.
Well, okay. Where's the crime in that?
What the hell is wrong with discussing the candidates nearly a year before the first primary civilly?
Instead of banning, try persuading. Instead of telling people to leave and then chastising them for doing what you ask, why not be civil? Is that too much to ask?
This whole thread disgusts me.
There is no reason to demand a purity test at this forum. What's even more freaking amazing is that the machete-wielders on this thread aren't for anyone. We have yet to see them set out who they support, just who they oppose, and who they want led to the bugzapper.
This is perhaps one of the lowest moments I've seen at this forum.
I pray that it will recover.
This whole thing was so needless. Of course, the machete-wielders will disagree. Carry on.
