Good God man...did you eat Mexican food for lunch? Sheesh.

I like cheese.

RATS like cheese too.

You like cheese?

"Referring to Democrats as “Rats” ...seeing the reference in nearly every other post really gets annoying ..."

I hide the word Rat in the term DemonRat. That way you can't get annoyed.

Democrats only got called 'Rats after they raised a stink over an ad (years ago) that they said lingered on the word "RATS" in BUREAUCRATS.

Seems that they forgot that same ending was in DemocRATS.

MurryMom is the resident Democrat here on FR and she continues to use Repug and Repuke when talking on FR.

Of course you do.

Here are some other frequently used FR terms, just so you're prepared when someone uses them.

I try to refrain from ad hominems, but on occasion there's no difference between an insult and the truth. If the truth's insulting, so be it.

I agree with you. We were discussing this on another thread. That, and people being accused of being trolls and disruptors just for expressing a different viewpoint, however politely.

It's getting to be a turn-off and I don't recall it being this bad a year ago.

Thank you for your support! How's your move going?

Posting a vanity to chastise an entire forum for the perceived incivility of a few is destined to provoke flames, ridicule and zot bait.

Ping!

That is okay...I am called a RINO frequently...read my "manifesto" on my home page and you can see why. I live by the Golden Rule and try to treat people how I want to be treated. Some people where not taught or chose to ignore the lessons of their mothers.
Although I may not always agree with something someone has said/posted, I try to keep an open mind and try to see the other side of the argument.

As for name calling...my favorite is "the Demoncrats" and "Crissy 'The Trolll' Gregriore". After that...my name calling is reserved for idiots driving on the road.

Cheers.

DemonRats are DemonRats. Funny how it's always the liberals that call for civility when they're losing the war?

Referring to your tag line, why isn't use of the term RATS appropriate in the Washington State governor's race. That race was, without a doubt, stolen. I can certainly think of other more derogatory terms, but in that case it absolutely fits.</p>

[GOPRaleigh]

LOL!!

[Parmy]

After what the RATS have done in King County, Washington State to get a 'win' for Gregroire, that term is apprpriate.

[MissouriConservative]

bump for later reading

[fish hawk]

I can tell you have too much good manners and common sense to be posting on F.R. LOL

You don't believe in global warming, do you?
