It's getting awfully nasty around here.
Bad? Brilliant?

I know you people all feel passionately about your candidates, but there's too much negativity getting thrown about.

Either of our candidates would be WORLDS better than McCain, but you wouldn't know that from reading these blogs. How about we stick to highlighting the good qualities of our candidate and the disaster we'd face with a President McCain.

Before you post a snark about Barack or Hillary, think to yourself whether your post would make Karl Rove smile. From what I've seen lately, he's giggling his lardy butt off.

None of us KNOW what is going to happen with our nominating process, but I can say for sure that there will be only one nominee. Try not to say things which will make it difficult for you to work for the side that ends up winning. Try not to say something which will make it difficult for your fellow bloggers to work happily alongside you.

Please! The Republicans are BRILLIANT at sewing dissent and discontent and using it for their own benefit. They and their captive media are quietly stirring the pot. Don't fall for it. Do what your wise grandmother would have recommended. Say nice things only. Don't do Rove's work for him.

In case you haven't noticed

Not everyone on here will be working side by side. I myself have stated I will not vote for Obama and I am a very life long Democrat.

I am a proud supporter of the Honorable Senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Dona, your vote is your vote and that is one thing they can't take away from you UNLESS you are a namby pamby civil rights leader that was threatened and had to change as a superdelegate (Rep. Lewis as an example). So much for the civil rights movement, huh?

It is because of things like this as well as his lack of representation in Illinois when he was in office here that I will not support this man. Even if Senator Clinton asks me to.

Do you really feel you should be able to say which church he attends? I thought religious freedom was one of the cornerstones of our society. Have you attended that church and met its congregation? Can you judge it from such a distance?

Some people don't even seem to have a candidate. play devil's advocate. best to try and do a good blog, because the haters are here and have patience. it may even be a teammate that hurts you.
  
Civility is good!

Passions aside, civility is a good thing. I am fair and reasonable. The Obama trivia is nonsense. Every reasoned person should go get some balanced information. Obama 08
  
It's all OK

because those who won't vote for Barack if he is the nominee and those who won't vote for Hillary if she is the nominee are not Democrats.

They are lard-ass Republicans who would rather swill with the lies of Karl Rove and pigs like that.

Let'um go let'um go and God bless them. They don't belong in our party anyway.
