They could go on debating serious policy all year as far as I'm concerned. What I'm sick of is stupid nonsense like the preacher bullshit or the coffee machine bullshit or whether Obama Girl voted.

I'm not sick of it, I'm sick ABOUT it. . . the Republicans are thrilled, which means it's bad for the country/world/light/good/right.

In sarcastic honor of HRC's recent succumption (sic) to manufactured populism, I propose a seventh poll option:

"I need a shot and a beer"

TGIF, indeed...

Department of Health and Human Services budgets are being slashed by 10%, i've just spent all morning listening to programs being cut. Then i hear about a kid who got killed on his 7th tour of iraq and some public health commission corp friends being deployed as well...alot of them are.
and people are talking about how good this is for the party and democracy? now hillary is being the populist with this gas tax holiday. i'm sorry but too much is at stake we need the nominee now!

Psychosomatic Ebola is ahead in the polls but Cancer of the Brain is closing in, anybody got any dirt on Cancer of the Brain so we can maintain our lead? Come on, false YouTube videos, shots of Cancer of the Brain bowling poorly, what about Cancer of the Brain's associates? Any shady money deals? Any former radicals? Psychosomatic Ebola is booked on Fox but Cancer of the Brain just scooped us with a Letterman top 10 list. Focus people, the super delegates are wavering.

Why can't Hils stop using her Dem campaign donations to pay for Republican-created attack vids against our Dem nominee?

That's my question.

Can we have the same poll about Erica C. Barnett posts?

OMG, I am beyond sick of this.

A few months ago I was thinking: Wow. Great. Several wonderful, well qualified candidates. I would be happy with any of them (Obama, HRC, Edwards, maybe even Richardson). I leaned mildly toward Obama, but didn't really care all that much. Any of them would be great.

But in recent weeks, it has turned into a circular firing squad (if two people can be called a circle). It is looking more and more like mutually assured destruction. I was previously excited by the enthusiasm and the crowds the democratic debates were drawing, but it has now descended into insanely destructive attacks that are damaging the party.

Just look at the ECBs clip of Obama supposedly giving HRC the finger. Over 50 comments, most of them aggressively vilifying ECB. Not simply disagreeing with her viewpoint, or correcting her wrong assumption about the gesture. But totally crucifying her.

It isn't just ECB (and the attacking hordes). This is what the debate has descended to, on a national scale. I don't see how this can possibly be viewed in any kind of positive light. The longer this goes on, the more likely we will have President McCain come November.
