Favorite posters

JewishCon gets a bad rap, when has he ever said anything mean to another poster? I've never seen it.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Forgot to add Anna Sherbinina and Politicalchick

Seriously, "posters I hate" would be simple (but Alcon would cancel this quickly)

He sometimes quotes my posts and writes "D-NY" after them.  It hurts.

He's said something mean to a whole group of people. Is that enough for you?

Officepark gives me D-SC occasionally too. It really hurts my self esteem.

I am lucky to have avoided such an insult.

You mean D-NC, right?

Although the last time I did it (when was it, a few months ago?) you had a SC avatar and I gave you D-SC.

    Officepark gave me a D-CA a couple of times. I found it kind of humorous since it happened when I stated socially liberal views & I have always experienced that economic views are much more important when it comes to determining what party you join here in California.

Well, I live in South Carolina, but whenever I go back to school in North Carolina, I change it.

JC called me a Dem lover. I guess it reposes with the reader to fathom whether that is a complement or insult.  

Frankly I am not much in love with much of anyone in politics these days. I guess my expectations are just unrealistic or something. The problem of course is the filter through which one must pass to succeed in politics, which tends to weed out those who have much to offer typically that is of much use. What one tends to get are superficial and egotistical power trippers out to be somebody, rather than be serious students of what makes sense from a policy perspective, and try to persuade based on that, even if it renders them one termers. And that is very sad.

I think that the real pioneer in this regard, in the development of the perpetual campaign, is Richard Nixon.

Nixon may have been the first person smart enough to fully take advantage, but it was inevitable, especially in this digital age and the 24 hour news cycle.

Things started going downhill with JFK, went way downhill with LBJ, and reached the current trough with Nixon, from which movement back uphill remains to be discerned. Part of it is of course the media and the way campaigns are financed. Who that is sane, would want to spend so much time dialing for dollars and kissing ass of folks regarding whom one frankly finds nauseating for their $$$$ of course, or course, but can only tell that to one's significant other?

NiK, FallenMorgan, Torie, DWTL, AHDuke99, fezzyfestoon, my Northeast homies (Antonio, kalwejt, barnes, SMID!, etc), big bad fab, tmthforu94, SPC, and others I'm sure I left off (sorry)

I'm not referring so much to his administration as his political career in general. We first really saw it in 1952 with Checkers.

You have a point Xahar, although Nixon was unfairly traduced on that particular matter, and went saccharine (successfully with his little mutt as a prop) to diffuse it.  These days, such a story would be handled differently, and be diffused via the internet I think, because it was bogus. In that sense, we have made some progress.

You are (or seem to be, at least) one of the better Democrats around here, and it would be boring if I featured only Republicans/conservatives.
