Paultards to Mitt-bots

It is my opinion that resorting to this kind of meaningless labeling, rather than debating the issue at hand, degrades the quality of discussion here. When someone says "I'm for candidate Smith because of A,B, and C", rather than a refutation of A,B, and C, we get "oh, you're just a stupid Smith-bot, lolz!" Then this site ends up looking like every other dumbed-down internet forum where name calling replaces any real thought.

Hmmmm.... I think Paultard and Mitt-bott is pinpoint, PRECISE, accurate, fact based, fair labeling of those two weirdo groups. In other words, it sums them up.

That depends on a number of things, including but not limited to:

1) the newness of the poster

2) whether A, B, and C have already been discussed within the forum, and found by consensus to be completely outweighed by D, E, and F

3) if the arguments used by the n00b have already been hashed out and found wanting, or they are obvious boilerplate

4) candidate Smith has already been declared persona non grata by the Viking Kitties
