Honestly, you can't even keep up with them all.

So a little payback is understandable within reason.
Sure - and those posts are absolutely ridiculous and deserving of the ever-present cliché of "sour grapes. Unfortunately, these interactions sink ALL of us to the lowest common denominator. I have no idea what people hope behavior like this is going to accomplish. It's about as ridiculous as presidential hopefuls tearing each other down only to later come back and praise the one guy who actually gets the nomination. It's truly asinine.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose - that's just life. It certainly doesn't warrant ridiculous behavior - as though the situation could not be reversed just a few years down the road. Alas, it will be. If the GOP ever wins the next presidency, republicans are going to gloat like their is no tomorrow, liberals will criticize anything and everything the GOP president does, no matter how good his deeds are, and fingers will be pointed at each other as though we are not all Americans but somehow two very separate groups ready to kill each other.

I don't think I am going to be part of any of that.

You might not like what the "other side" has to say but if you ignore them and think that your own viewpoint prevails, you run the risk of being out of the loop.


Plus putting people on "ignore" is cowardly....


If a poster's beliefs are strong enough, and backed up by FACTS, that poster doesn't need to put anyone on "ignore".

Has this been the best time to be a liberal in your lifetime or are the truly good times yet to come?
