How tired are you of seeing op-eds posted against the candidates? When was the last time you read it and changed your mind?

[PlatyPius 5]

I'm completely sick of them. I'm sick of hearing/reading the names Clinton, Obama, and McCain. I'm tired of the smug postings, the inane attacks, and the Jonestown-esque fervor that some people seem to have for certain candidates. I'm for Obama, but I'm not fanatical about it. I just think he's the best candidate.

What is the issue with people discussing their constitutionally protected views of a candidate.

If you don't like it, you don't need to look. Not rocket science.

It depends on who is posting them. There are some members who are unmoveable in their opinions of the candidates, but they are a definite minority here, IMO. I think most people here are aware just who those people are and pretty much dismiss each political op/ed piece they make. There's a lot of great opinions out there in print though that I think are thought provoking and persuasive. It's a matter of separating the chaff from the wheat with regard to which pieces are worth reading, but ultimately it's up to the discretion of everyone here whether they want to read it or not.

rarely (hasn't happened yet, but it could), agree and disagree (what's the hurry?)

I get a lot of good laughs from the crazy people who get into fights over politics.

I'm more sick of people complaining about the op-eds than the op-eds themselves (many of which are interesting, even if I don't agree)

Yep - the sheer number of threads is just ridiculous. And "spamming" was right on the mark.

A quick perusal of two members post histories (and we all know which ones) shows 6 pages of election threads apiece!

If that ain't spamming, what is?

Yeah. I'd be more worried about the voices in your head that tell you to give the cat a bath and read every political post in OT.

A more correct statement would be that anything we discuss here is at the pleasure of Admin. You aren't 'constitutionally protected' on a private message board.

If you don't like that, you don't need to post here. Not rocket science.

I love OP Eds.......My mind is in a constant state of flux as oftentimes forum users sway me to their POV, really, no, no really....

edit: I see they didn't listen to you and moved this thread. Oh well, those mods never listen, do they?

I don't know what the point is anymore...all political threads end up being the same...you can almost time it, who's gonna say what and when...
