Is it time for another day of no Election 2008 threads on Off Topic?

How about an election-free MONTH?

Sure. July?

Not this time. One day yes, but not a month. Defeating Obama is to important.

I agree with you on most of your views of Obama, but do you think posting the articles here is changing any minds? Unless there are a lot of readers who don't participate whose minds are getting changed. It doesn't seem likely. It seems a lot of the crowd is pro-Obama all the way to November and reading an article from someone who is not for Obama doesn't seem to change their minds.

Same could be said of those who constantly post articles against McCain...do you think you are going to convince someone like Gary or me by reading the article? So what's the point of all the article posting, seriously? Just to make the other person look bad I think, and not about changing minds.

If politics must be discussed, instead it should be pure debate threads IMO. I think once Number 6 said something to that effect. Like, the title would be "your opinion on such-and-such, let's debate". And if people could respectfully debate with each other without labeling the other side, it might be good.

How are you defeating Obama by copying and pasting mostly incoherent blabber on VJ?

Those that have been turned away from Obama by Gary's VJ posts, please step forward.

Gary,

A week?

I would compromise. A week end.

A month of no threads? Troll, do you really have that much control?

Sure. No election 2008, that still leaves global warming and brown people and the second great depression.....

I'm kind of surprised you got behind a candidate instead of adopting the contrarian position of some other members. With so many devoted Obama fans, you have given all the leverage for prime trolling opportunities to Gary and Marc.

Gary,

No, let's give the peasants two week days. They're so cute when they whine, it's the least we can do.

And those who have been turned away from McCain by Jabberwocky, VJ Troll's, etc posts please raise your hand.

Oh I don't see any hands.

I think this is the first time I've ever agreed with you. But dang I'd like to see those freaking threads gone.

Nope, sorry. I like watching them whine. It is a preview of November when their messiah goes down in flames.

Ok, people, tell you what. No matter what others agree or do not agree to, I won't start any more election 2008 threads from now to the end of September.

I'll still respond, of course. And non-election political threads are still ok.

But I'm whining and I am not voting for Obama!

Hmm. This is going to take dedication, quitting cold turkey like this. I am not sure if we should expect that much from you, lol. It's a lot to give up all at once.

I am quoting myself because my idea is good!!!
