35. Nope. Opinions change.

Thu Sep 3, 2015, 02:31 PM

Sep 2015

My opinion of that opinion is that whoever wrote it takes politics waaaaay too seriously.
Who knows? Next week his opinion of Hillary and her supporters may change.

For the most part, I see Hillary as just another over-ambitious and unprincipled, pol who wants to hit the power-jackpot. Personally, I'm indifferent to her. As to her supporters, I'll invoke Mark Twain and his axiom.

As for overheated posters who love or hate candidates, I'd advise them to get a grip and take a break.

Sounds like this poster is taking politics a bit too personally. [n/t] Maedhros Sep 2015 #2

It is life and death PowerToThePeople Sep 2015 #75

Agreed, but venting one's spleen at the opponent's supporters is not constructive. Maedhros Sep 2015 #78

I agree. PowerToThePeople Sep 2015 #82
