A clean fight - no below the belt

[windelina]

Okay, as the campaign season heats up, I want to draw some ground rules - especially with my conservative friends.

You accept that I'm a raging liberal and I'll accept that you're misguided. Joking!

Seriously, we're all going to be posting our personal opinions on the political scene, and those aren't going to agree. So, let's agree to disagree in advance, and keep the debating pleasant, on topic, and fairly minimal because I don't think either side is going to change their minds.

NOTE: I am not posting this because there HAS been a problem. I am posting this to make sure there is NOT a problem.

Jane, you ignorant slut!

Thank you for this reminder.

The fact you feel the need to post this makes me preemptively disappointed in any forthcoming "debate."

[windelina.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. If this were a community, I'd say "bring it on" but I don't want friendships to get strained over political disagreements.

Hear, hear. A lot of people have been, um, not all that pleasantly surprised to find that people they knew were *GASP!* *shudder* *SHOKKU!* Republicans, but they seem to be recovering nicely.

Just make sure you don't infect my journal with your Republican cooties!

I'm picturing Donald Sutherland at the end of the remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers":
Wombat: I'm Republican
Horrified-lj-response: Donald-Sutherland-pointnscream!

Soon you too will be a helpless pawn of my Orbital Mind-Control Laser Beams! MWAHAHAHAHA!

[phone rings]"Hello? Oh, hi, Mr. Rove. Wassuuuuup?" (pause) "Okay, I'll stop. No, I'm pretty sure I set it to 'Mush' and not 'Liquefy'." (pause) "Well, if you say so. I thought the Governator had that covered...oh, okay." (pause) "No, thanks, I can't afford the airfare home so I can make it to the inaugural ball. Just make sure you send Jenna by with the briefcase of C-notes and lube like we agreed, okay? What? Karl, you know how I feel about blondes...well, all right, I guess nobody will give Ann a second look up here." (pause) "Right. And tell Pat I said thanks for the doughnuts." (pause) "Okay. Bye!"

I swear, being a minion of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy means your work is never done. *grins*

Hey

I am a betting man...

Windy. We should never argue or debate, we should bet. Everyone can put their money in a pool for the November election for who will win and let the spoils go to the victor.

I will take all your Kerry dollars as well as your friends if they wish to be so bold. We don't need to debate. Put your money where you mouth is all you Kerry supporters. I don't even like Bush, buy hey, Kerry's campaign is beyond lame in the media circus. He would need a Clinton level miracle during the debates to save the ship.

I would be concerned if Edwards was against Bush, but Kerry, has turned out the be the wrong choice for the Democratic Party.

Any takers or just big talkers?

*smooch!* I love you, Mr. Grumpypants, but no.

Besides, this is more fun.

I am pro-Kerry, but I believe that Bush will win.
