Shawn WM: "Salon, get rid of her or lose me"

Thanks for the chuckle. Quick suggestion - if you know that you don't appreciate Camille's style of writing, how about this: don't read it. Unless you actually need a victim to target with your own vitriol, a common characteristic of many frustrated with the presidential election season.

Camille, I think you're a hoot, even a thoughtful one. The Limbaugh comment caught me off guard as it didn't seem in context with the rest of your line of thought. I personally view Rush as a self-inflated blow bag, but that's because in my reality he exists to be the target of my... vitriol.

@ Brian Schlosser

Funny, one could say the exact thing about blind faith.

Cheers!

Dumb & Dumber Choose the Next President

Unreal, this political season has been akin to living in the Twilight Zone. And if 60% of $30 will benefit you over the long term, you seriously need to relook at your career path choices.

Clinton has no problem knowing the lowest intellects in the country may help secure her a nomination. Calling experts "elites" puts her in the same category - she not only cannot utilize her "expertise" to form a studied opinion (that would be elitist and out of touch), she has now succeeded in closely aligning herself with the mentality of George W Bush. He doesn't care what the "experts" think either, it's his way or the highway... "I'm saving you". Hello, Hillary - you wouldn't know where to find a clue if clues were on sale at every gas station in town. Especially if they were dispensed like coffee, via the bright red PUSH button.

Not an Issue

I see nothing wrong with people on both sides of an argument hoping for empathy to their view. The "enemy" is a matter of perspective. Perhaps it's time to understand that we all live on one planet and that humanity can't be all about one gigantic pissing contest.

Anyone can build a profile on Barack Obama's website, so this is a non-story. If you go there right now, you can be "Betty Boop" or "Yassar Arafat"... and build the same profile and say anything that you want. In that this is the case, anyone can do so to pretend it has something to do with the candidate. If McCain, Clinton or any other Rove wanna-be wants to make a deal out if it, they do so at the peril of being seen as a fool.

Now now...

@ dataguyx who says "Exactly who would Chuck Hegel attract that is currently not attracted to Obama? I can't think of anyone save a few thousand confused farmers in NE."

Being from said state, I can assure you that they are not confused. They are merely over-subsidized and extremely grateful for the government agricultural welfare legislation allowing them to spend their afternoons at the casinos. In Iowa. We're too prudish to actually benefit from retaining revenues resulting from government hand-outs.

That said, I can't even grow a decent tomato in my backyard, so how can I possibly understand the travails of the every-day Nebraska farmer?

Obsess MUCH?

@ Klytus

It might be a matter of priorities. How can one worry about spelling when they have yet to find their Caps Lock key?

@ Parson Jim

Wow, I had no idea that a website like that existed. dontdatehimgirl.com

What an open forum for bitterness. While a small percentage of them may "deserve" to be known for their actions, what restraint do the posters have to show in their postings?

Full names, pictures, and sometimes addresses are given. I think you're right, this website has opened itself up for scrutiny of the potentially legal kind...
