I agree, they do. They jump on every post that doesn't start with 'I love Democrats'. sabrina 1 Jan 2012 #15

Some of them jump in and make one single post, usually post #1 MNBrewer Jan 2012 #76

How do they do that so consistently? bvar22 Jan 2012 #87

I don't know. Robotics? AI? MNBrewer Jan 2012 #89

Oh I Agree... But It's January Man... WillyT Jan 2012 #68

First, there is no reason for this to be an especially nasty year because Obama is a shoe in. EFerrari Jan 2012 #69

Some who have adopted the bullying tactic that you describe may, in fact, not intend to help Obama. AnotherMcIntosh Jan 2012 #90

Whatever the intention is, that is the effect. EFerrari Jan 2012 #91
