Original message
This is now so far beyond simple disagreement over candidates.
Some of you simply want your opponents to feel pain. You want them on their knees, suffering. You want them to hurt. In fact, you'd revel in their suffering. And their spouses and their children's suffering, too.

You call for their banishment from the party. You hope that the revelation of painful information from their pasts will make them suffer. You assume that they must hurt when something in the campaign doesn't go their way - in fact you LUST over the idea that they're hurting, your tongues rolling to catch the bitter drops of saliva foaming from your lips. Your rabid, bloodlusting lips.

So who do we inspire to: Habermas? Voltaire? Hardly. Try Nietzsche.

You sick mutha's.

43. Heh. Tolkien writes about a sex-free universe.
I think hobbits reproduce by sharing pipes.

Was crying enough? Wouldn't a loss of a toe or a finger have been better?

Don't merely defeat the "other;" cast them out of society. With pitchforks, preferably.

12. Some of US enjoy watching a Puppy drown
Some of us don't. I can't understand why all the emotional turmoil hasn't shown up on the streets while are freedom and liberties are stolen.

That might mean turning off Dancing with the retarded stars. Her leg might pop off I can't turn off the TV.

If it wasn't for TIVO my couch would have grafted itself to my ass.

What you've missed is that the freedom and liberties stolen doesn't feel as personal as one's precious candidate.

29. OHHHH the injustice! OHHHH the agony!
Get over yourself. No one has the desire to see ANYONE in pain, least of all spouses and children. That's just idiotic. There's vitriol and hurt feelings on both sides.

Everyday I am told that we need to stop kicking Hillary when she's down. But then I am also told that Hillary is NOT defeated and is dragging us kicking and screaming all the way to the convention. WHICH IS IT?

Are you sick of this shit? Do you want it to stop? TALK TO YOUR CANDIDATE.

There's a very simple way to end all this. Concede. Stop trashing the party. Stop trying to damage our nominee. Stop comparing Florida to Zimbabwe. Stop threatening to perform a public murder-suicide by dragging this thing to the convention.

I promise that the MINUTE I hear a concession speech, all attacks on Hillary will stop. She's fighting with all she's got to bring Obama down and force the party to bend/break the rules just for her. So as long as she's doing that, I am going to try to stop her and her delusional, enabling, supporters. My conscience will allow me to do no less.

64. I commend you. I had to look this one up...
because I only peripherally know the definition of "turgid."

But here is what I found:


1. Excessively ornate or complex in style or language; grandiloquent: turgid prose.

Yeah, I'd say so. :P

2. Swollen or distended, as from a fluid; bloated: a turgid bladder; turgid veins.

I don't have the right picnic equipment for this, but you could ask some of the other posters in this thread. They'll let you know.
