Neither here nor there, but some folks just can't let a good thing go untarnished. I just checked the 52 to 48 thing again, and there are some ugly

finger pointing type messages. Not as ugly as they could be, but jiminy christmas, the images are about uniting America, to ugly it up with *and* devisiveness is....disappointing.

i also love that there are 48s to 52s popping up -- nm - Guy Nov 7, 14:59
im not going to let a couple bad apples ruin what is otherwise a fantastic concept -- nm - Guy Nov 7, 14:57
I'm assuming 52-48 is something to do with the margin of the popular vote, but what is the "thing" that you checked? - ceregon Nov 7, 14:49 2
- just the opposite... -- (link) - Mel Profit Nov 7, 14:52 1
  - Oh wow. This is awesome. This is also a big reason why I love ST. - ceregon Nov 7, 14:59
no surprise. i remember how 9/11 was going to bring everyone together and usher in a new era od social cooperation and participation.... - x Nov 7, 14:42 9
- Well, Bush won't be in charge this time. His Administration cashed in a lot of the goodwill 9/11 got us -- nm - con_carne Nov 7, 14:56 1
  - Which is to hope Obama won't be so foolish -- nm - con_carne Nov 7, 14:58
- that lasted for about a month in NYC. Everyone was all nice and everything, then the rudeness returned -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 7, 14:49 1
  - we wont even get a day out of this one -- nm - Guy Nov 7, 15:27
- I'm hoping that optimism is a greater motivator than fear. - musubi Nov 7, 14:48 1
  - and this is why i call you pangloss.... - x Nov 7, 14:49
- then again we were told to go...shopping. - Mel Profit Nov 7, 14:43 2
  - hey, i'll go along for the ride if you think leadership can fix this sort of stuff... - x Nov 7, 14:47 1
    - I think it can move the needle... - Mel Profit Nov 7, 14:49
I noticed those earlier as well...and it's disappointing. - Mel Profit Nov 7, 14:40 2
- So very agreed. -- nm - con_carne Nov 7, 14:59
- Amen, brother. - musubi Nov 7, 14:45
Kind of like that "savor" article that was posted yesterday? - Stephen Nov 7, 14:38 14
- why cant you take some joy in the fact that most people want to forget about your bullshit and move on? - Guy Nov 7, 15:02 9
  - Hey, asshat, settle down. You're not helping. (nm) - musubi Nov 7, 15:03 8
    - i must have had too much of the "Kool-Aid". im not capabable of free-thought, im just a victim of an elaborate scam to brainwash the american people - Guy Nov 7, 15:06 7
      - It's like being called an idiot. If you're not an idiot, you don't need to worry. - musubi Nov 7, 15:08 6
        
        he cant even acknowledge how well Obama's campaign was run. - Guy Nov 7, 15:15 1
        
        So you spew invectives at him? That's just as bad any anything you denouce. Either put up or shut up Guy. - musubi Nov 7, 15:18
        
        since Tuesday night, all ive been hearing from non-Obama supporters is spite, pessimism and ignorant rhetoric - Guy Nov 7, 15:12 3
        
        First off, it's not all encompassing. You commented on the 48 to52s yourself. - musubi Nov 7, 15:17 2
        
        yes, but the people in my immediate circle speak a lot louder than a few photos on a blog post. - Guy Nov 7, 15:21 1
        
        It doesn't matter. Either you're trying to make it better or you're not. It's your choice. - musubi Nov 7, 15:25
- I have no idea. I'm trying. There are always going to be jerktards who will be ugly. It's only politics as usual if we let it be. - musubi Nov 7, 14:43 3
  - ditto to this... - Mel Profit Nov 7, 14:56 2
    - I still think that if people actually talked to each other instead of being told what to think by various media talking heads there wouldn't be this - Trish Nov 7, 15:06 1
      - it boggles my mind that people like Coulter can still be effective. - Guy Nov 7, 15:08
