[should be fined $100 ]

GREAT IDEA, I think you’re on to something and it could be carried a bit further by mandating anyone, from this point forward, have to give their credit card number and any mistakes, be fined accordingly. Five dollars for any spelling errors, ten dollars for opposing ideas, twenty dollars for stupid links, fifty dollars for zotting, one hundred for the idea you had.

What a cash cow that could be. Jim you should get on this asap. s/

".... it seems to us that Obama threads outnumber McCain by about 4 to 1...."

Are you trying to say that JimRob is in the tank for Obama?

; )

Mainly we just see vanity posts in which everyone with a screen name lectures the McCain-Palin campaign about how they should be handling the campaign, the next debate, the financial-markets crisis, the polls, and whatever else crosses their minds.

Anyone can post a news thread, you know, so why not find a news article about the Republican campaign and post it?

Of course not. Nor am I.

McCain/Palin have our votes. And our kids’ votes. And our grandchildrens’ votes. They’ve assured us of that.

[Doohickey]

I’m findng about 50% of all post to be unsourced, news-less ranting vanities that would do just fine as a post in any other thread.

[Soul Seeker]

Because conservatives don’t like Mccain, never have, and we aren’t excited at all he’s on the ticket.

We like Palin but she’s the VP pick so it’s a little difficult to enthuse about her at the rate a Dem might about Obama when it means McCain in the W.H. with her.

Pointless vanities — you nailed it. If I was moderating, I would be deleting and tell them to post on a thread.

[Huck]

It’s definitely gotten to that point. Back in the early days of Palinmania, there were a lot of vanities, and at the time I defended them, chalking it up to enthusiasm. Let em breathe a little. But it has mushroomed into a full blown vanity explosion. Im sure the % is near all time highs.

[Huck]

You must not be counting the “What McCain needs to do/say” threads.

lol. Good one.

Depends on what you call a Palin thread, or an Obama thread. Also, perceptions can be misleading. I remember about half the threads yesterday being about: "Palin says that Obama palled around with terrorists." Now, is that a Palin thread, or an Obama thread? (And yes, I know my perceptions are just slightly distorted.)
