25. +1. Sometimes a good purgative is just what the doctor ordered to restore balance

Wed Nov 4, 2015, 06:48 AM

Nov 2015

I bring that up since some in this thread are already whinging about "purges."

Whatcha gonna do when some posters resolutely rewrite the TOS in their heads, or refuse to read them in the first place? Repeated explanations are brushed off.

Yet self-proclaimed non-Democrats and others just too good for this world of trouble and toil continue to harbor here proudly proclaiming their determination to never ever vote for (insert name here) despite that candidate's adult lifetime of working for Dem causes, working for Dem candidates, and serving as a registered Dem in public offices.

Yup, there was a time, children, when crap like that would earn you a granite pizza.
