You don't get it, I know. I do bag on Democrats but only because this place is so pro Dem. If it were pro Rep I would bag on the Republicans. How some of you can be so black and white is beyond me. It's really not an opinion based in reality, it's all just talking point rhetoric. I don't bag on Dems 'constantly,' just parse through some of the comments I've made. Might have seemed that way to you, but you might also find where I said that I really want Obama to win...I'm skeptical but I do like him over McCain even if I don't agree with a lot of his policies. The problem I have with this, and other 'political' message boards is that everyone just plays partisan politics. When in fact, it's really simple minded to pick one side and then act like the other side is a bunch of baby eating motherfuckers who want to destroy us.
Like you say, I am fucking above all of this. Without trying to sound too self-righteous, I'm viewing things from a non-biased middle. It's hard not to feel above a lot of this bs when 90% of the posts on here are from people who have their heels dug in and will explain away the actions of their 'team' to suit their purpose but aren't mature enough to take a step back and say 'Is this what I REALLY want out of someone who is going to represent me?' And a lot of people on here can't stand to have their little world threatened so if anyone has a different point of view then the intruder is to be castrated and branded as a moron. It's immature, intolerant and again, not realistic. For fucks sake we're on a god damn internet message board, be civil to one another. You guys act like you're actually writing policy or something.
Anyways. I'm going to be honest this time. I'm gone. I really don't feel like getting into this and I'd rather leave before the rocks come flying again.
