I swore after all the fighting on a forum I belonged to in 2008 that I'd stay out of it this year. But here I am. After the election is over I'll stay away from this area of CD.
I am starting this thread because I am sick of the infighting on these boards. I propose that after the election regardless who wins we pledge to keep our citizism of the president to policy issues only. Family, religous beliefs, personal beliefs to right to life or pro choice, where a president was born, etc should be kept off these boards. We need to unite behind whoever wins.
There is still plenty to complain about. Size of goverment, apppointees, green energy etc... This are not attack issues based on the person. They are policy based. If we continue to be devided we will fall.
The lies and hate coming out is getting worse by the day from both sides and if it continues it will pull us apart.
Please join me in pledging to keep it in house. Dont bring the personal attacks to C-D. Keep it policy based.
I don't see many posters coming to this forum to discuss the issues. Most come here to sling insults, repeat the day's talking points, and to troll. It'll calm down some after the election, though.
So after four years of having the Obama daily mass, we must now play nice-nice?
Sorry, but responsible, hard-working Americans like myself will be paying for his distruction for a long time. I think we deserve to serve his supporters a heaping helping of humble pie. So line up Obozonites, it's hot and ready....best of all it's free...just the way you're 'entitled' to it.
OP, your idea is wonderful, and I'd add to quit using offensive words to describe people of the opposite political persuasion. Unfortunately, I don't think it will ever happen here. Some people get their kicks by putting down others.
It's all about using a broad brush towards people who have different viewpoints.

Sorry, but the title if this is Politics AND other controversies.
I'm in. One can disagree without being disagreeable. All this rancor demeans the process. It feeds on itself and people just get meaner and meaner without providing any information.
I used to have a friend who was so partisan, he was a jerk. It was pointed out to me that he was such a jerk due to his misery. I started looking at him in another way after 20 years of dinner at least once a week. He truly was a miserable and unhappy person.
