I have been trolling through mylot politics for a few weeks now and have read many very heated conversations. I have also been a part of them. I have heard people complaining about losing their stars because others were giving them negatives on their remarks supposedly because they weren't voting for Obama. I hate to thwart that theory but I am for Obama and while I don't have a star yet, my ratings in politics has gone down as well. Aren't your ratings based on the same thing as stars? If that is the case, then it's not only the Obama supporters who can be vindictive by giving someone a bad rating but McCain supporters as well.
Let's face it. For some reason, in this campaign, if you stand up for your candidate you are put down and put down hard. I have tried not to be as mean as some others but I have to admit that when I am attacked, I attack back. I don't know if it's human nature or my nature but that's the way it is.
What I'm wondering, since I'm fairly new to mylot is whether the people who have gotten so upset at each other consider themselves "enemies" even after the election is over or will we all just agree to disagree? Is there someone on mylot who you have been really offended by (don't mention names, please) that you may or may not have a discussion with on anything ever again? Has this election cost you friends outside of mylot? Just curious as to how everyone is handling this election.

I am for Obama but I don't really talk about the issues. I talk about how much I would like to grope him and how well hung he is. I like him for a lot of very reasonable reasons, but I prefer to joke about the election instead. Just posting in the politics is going to make your ratings go down either way. I don't rate people down if they like McCain, but I will if they talk about Obama being all "kill whitey" because that's really annoying and I know it's not true. But if they talk about how they like McCain's economical policies, okay.

Can't stop laughing at your post. I think you have the right idea about keeping a sense of humor about this election, however, I find it hard to do sometimes when you turn on the television and see so many negative things going on, you know. But thanks for making me laugh.
No matter how annoying or mean someone has been to me regarding what I've said, I don't rate them low. Could be because I don't rate anyone unless they're answering in one of my discussions. However, it is annoying. I want to talk about the issues, not about who has what friends (I think McCain and Obama both have chosen to hook up with questionable people)or all that stuff.
Keep up the sense of humor and by the way, I happen to think Michelle is one lucky woman as well, although that is not why I am voting for him either. Guess we're like the McCain/Palin supporters who are male and talk about how hot Sarah is.

I used to get excited to see the star change and then my ratings were affected by discussions being deleted several times and I just stopped caring.
