There’s not a darn thing wrong with someone having a different opinion than yours or believing their candidate will be a game changer. While Perry is my second choice after Palin there are things I have reservations about. I’m getting just a little sick of the name calling. Perry’s supporters, while quick to judge Palin supporters are just as passionate. Nothing wrong with that either. I don’t see the point of the 2 sides going on each others’ thread and putting them down. I’ve yet to hear issues, real issues discussed by either side. I mean solutions, their stand on conservative principles. The debate turns personal and insulting. It’s getting very, very old and not reflecting well on FR. I expect that out of DUmmies. We should be better than that.

I'll take one of those ....

Well said! A more adult exchange would be nice. Checking my posting history, you will find very few personal attacks in my responses. If they are evident, I only make them if I am attacked first and I still keep them at a level of respect or I repeat them on the level, as an observation of the attacker's poor civil behavior.

Even still, the insults, nasty responses and the name calling I get when I confront them, is way over the top. The simple solution that would help all of us here, would be for it to stop.

I no longer comment or voice my opinion of Palin threads, because it's obvious it is way too late for her to enter now. Instead, I garner support for my candidate, Rick Perry and merely defend him as best I can, without trying to start an on going fight.

It alarms me to see the same group who complain so loudly about the “PDS Palin Hater club”, yet, I have never witnessed so much hypocritical rhetoric from those same posters on the Perry threads. Had there been such a hateful and nasty tone towards Palin on their threads, there would be thousands of fewer freepers left to support anyone but Palin.

It is a shame to see this great forum denigrate itself in such a way. Hopefully, this can and will change very soon.
