"Pack up. Go home. It's done." [View all] WilliamPitt Oct 2014 OP

I agree! it is NOT a constructive way to inspire people Peacetrain Oct 2014 #1

Agree, it's a total fail, actually will de-motivate potential voters. Scuba Oct 2014 #25

I absolutely agree. SoapBox Oct 2014 #28

That's the point, right? They want the GOP in charge. Then they don't have to waste their time makin blkmusclmachine Oct 2014 #91

Sure seems that way, but then I'm cynical by nature. Scuba Oct 2014 #96

Are we all certain that these e-mails com from Dems? nt kelliekat44 Oct 2014 #108

It's negative campaigning. We need Democratic candidates to explain to America rhett o rick Oct 2014 #20

Yeah, because emotional manipulation really inspires me to do good things for the manipulator. n/t winter is coming Oct 2014 #63
