I'm with you Larry....here we go again ...just when things were getting back to normal, people have to drag us back down into this sh*t...the mud slinging will be next, and then we'll see new threads badmouthing Obama for his cabinet choices etc.
Way yo go....Thanks

You're welcome. I'm sorry you take it so personally that she can't throw mud on herself fast enough.

I could care less about Palin...I do care about BN, and what these type of threads do to it.
Any thread, about any politician, is going to be divisive, and cause hard feelings for some. There will be some that will take this thread as badmouthing the Republicans ( whether it was meant that way or not), and will feel if it's Ok to Bash Palin, then they can start threads about Obama.
We are bombarded with this stuff from all angles everyday. Wouldn't it be nice to have a place where you could get away from all of it? BN used to be my "stress free zone" where I could unwind from all the daily BS...then came election season and I almost gave up on BN because it lost it's feel good vibe. I'd just hate to see us go back to that, and feel this thread could/might start us back down that road.

Well I'm sorry if my posting of something that's all over the news websites anyway brings BN down. I sure didn't see many republicans standing up for Obama and saying what a good person he is despite the bad press. I did see that for McCain. I know because I posted stuff like that.

I trust that you will all practice what you preach and the next time Obama or Biden or Hillary gets caught shooting their friend in the face with a shotgun, making pro-segregationist comments at a Dixiecrat's birthday party, soliciting gay sex in an airport bathroom, texting sexually related comments to underage male congressional paiges, leading a nation into an unjust war, or pardoning a turkey with a background of turkeys being slaughtered, I expect you and all of the others crying foul to show the same restraint you all are accusing me of lacking.

I believe I saw many people of both sides wishing the new president the best. Some folks just really do not like either man, and take the old adage, "If you can't say something nice"...
And others just don't wanna post anything for either side.

I can't speak for 4 years ago, other than it is what it was. And it stayed civil..
I had previously started a poll about "two threads" before your thread started, and folks voted no, they didn't want two threads.

Here's my question. If the worm lives because you do not wash your hands after using the bathroom, just where was that worm before, and how exactly is this person wiping her bum?

Who's the bum and why is she wiping him/her?

Four years ago, I was very disappointed by the results.
When the gloating continued, I just went away for a while.

You're right, Penny.
You gave it a chance, and for the complainers here who wish things were different....should really just stay away from the subject for a while.

No matter what anyone says, whenever feathers get ruffled in an "Off Topic" thread, the mood and negativity and jabs at each other definitely spill over into the Social, JB Discussion, or whatever other section of the board someone posts in.

Sorry. I'll have better Poll Etiquette next time.

You're missing Penny's point...she stated that the negativity ends up in all the threads...she wrote

During the presidential campaign, if anyone said anything about Obama that showed less than ass-kissing adoration or didn't seem like the poster was trying to earn a pair of presidential kneepads by dropping down and humming Hail To The Chief, somebody would get their panties in a wad and start whining like a little b**** about how offensive it was. Not one of those assholes ever said anything about people calling George Bush "shrub". Not one of those assholes ever said anything about the pictures of George Bush looking like Alfred E. Neumann. Not one of those assholes ever said anything when someone used a picture of George Bush with the caption "American Idiot" as an avatar for at least 2 weeks. Not one of those assholes said anything about the Bush, McCain or Palin bashing.

Yet, as soon as the chosen one from Illinois won the election, all we heard was calls for "support", "unity" and "an end to the diviseness." I was willing to believe the people making these calls were sincere. I don't think it's any secret that I wasn't an Obama supporter, but I wasn't a McCain supporter either. I haven't voted for either of the major party candidates for President in the last 3 elections. But when some guy starting bashing Obama in the "Congratulations" thread that was started right after the election I ripped into him, to the point that I was warned by a moderator, both publicly on the board and in a PM, to stop. Then the first chance someone gets to post something putting Palin in a bad light, there it is. And I'm sorry, but I don't buy the bull$hit about posting it no matter who was in the video. If it was some obscure politician or a non-celebrity nobody would give a s*** because the left wing assholes wouldn't have a chance to bash Palin. What a pack of f**** hypocrites.
