As a managing editor of this blog (which you are welcome to post at as long as you play by our rules) I am telling you that when you make an assertion we highly encourage you to back it up or you will probably not be taken seriously. I am also telling you that I would prefer you to not be nasty when it isn't necessary particularly if you aren't doing us the courteousy of backing up your statements. Sure, heated arguements and considerable sarcasm are part of the business. But if someone comes on, acts nasty and refuses to back up their assertions, we are not likely to be welcoming.

If your key issues are what you state, you can easily determine that most on this site (myself in particular) agree with you. So, perhaps if you approach it in a way to CONVINCE rather than alienate, you might actually convince people. Is that your purpose or merely to vent? I personally think you are partly right about some of the candidates, but I would still expect you to back up your assertions and I still think keeping a perspective that we all are on the right side against the far, far, far worse Bush Republicans is worthwhile.

Speaking for myself (and not as a managing editor) I for one am far more likely to listen to someone who keeps some perspective on what we are fighting, backs up their assertions and shows at least initial respect to those who they are discussing matters with. You do what you like, but I am already wondering about your once you start saying Obama supporters are drinking "Kool Aid" and defending your right to make statements without clear citations or links.
