When you have to insult another poster whose opinion is different from yours, you have lost all crediblility.

When you have to invoke Reverend Wright or the Keating Five or "Where he went to school" or "How he cheated on his first wife", you have lost all credibility.

When you have to go after the children or the family issues of any of the candidates, you have lost all credibility.

When you start referring to them as Barack Hussein Obama, or Muslim, or Repugnants and Defeatocrats, or Bush III, or flip-flops you have lost all credibility.

When you are more impressed with whether she's hot or not than what she stands for (good or bad) you have lost all credibility.

When you start posting all the links to all the other nonsense about the candidates, whether they are true or not, you have lost all credibility.

And when you begin to believe that anything you post here will change anyone's mind about their particular candidate, you have lost all touch with reality!

I think the reason people come on here to post anonymously is because there is no need for credibility. Post what you want (within reason) and hope that someone believes it, responds to it or gets offended.

I guarantee if we got all of these people in a room 90% of them would be much less dramatic and much more like themselves away from the PC.

Hopefully, we can all begin to tone down the rhetotic, stop the insults, place value on civility and raise the level of the debate. If we could see three out of four, I think that would be a good thing.
