Call for Election TRUCE

[Ling Ling 22]

I'm sure this won't be a popular thread or idea...but with only hours to go before the election,

I doubt there are many here that will be swayed with bashing of their desired candidate.

What I'm proposing is a truce until 11pm EST Tuesday.

If there's something good you want to say about a candidate (and sarcasm doesn't count)

then have at it.

If you don't agree with what someone says about THEIR candidate...leave it alone 'til 11pm EST.

No negative comments about the other candidate.

I think we've heard enough of the bad stuff about each candidate.

Take this time to tell the good stuff about each candidate.

At the end of the day, we're all Americans or folks that live in America, or folks that will live in America.

We all have a common bond (the immigration BS America put us through).

So let's try to put our political differences behind us for just a little over 24 hours.

Consider for this duration, the advice my mother gave me years ago, "If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all".

DIMocrats and RETARDicans...not reaching across the table and singing songs, but just saying that

we're all big enough to respect each other, and to call a temporary truce.

JUST 'til 11pm EST Tuesday, Nov. 4th

Good idea! After all, regardless of our political affiliation, we are all here for a shared cause...our visa journeys!

I can respect a post like this thanks for posting it.

Screw that. Your candidate sucks. Whichever candidate that is.

But that's OK. My candidate sucks too!!

And what is so special about 11pm EST anyway? That's only 7pm my time.

If you have good chocolate to share, I'm up for some peace and good will.

If you have Hershey's to share, your candidate sucks donkey balls!

Charles, is it just me...or do you just jump into threads to ignite flames?

I was trying to be fair...a bit of humor...bashing each side equally...ya know?

Chlll...just for a few hours.

AK...I figure by 11pm EST someone will have conceded...and then we'll all be itching to post our opinions.

is it just me, or are you a bit free with the labels?

if you really wanted a truce, you'd not throw out labels.

Yeah...you're right...I should know better.

This will be death match 2008. A fight to the finish. Sudden death overtime. The last man standing...kind of thing.

The truce also gives all of us a chance to watch the returns without wondering if we're missing any spirited debates on VJ.

Sorry Charles...I'm a bit new to this whole peaceful thing.

Let me try again.....

I love you Charles...I'd have your baby if I was a woman...but since I can't, can we have a truce?
