Well, I just whacked the hornet's nest a bit.

[Padraig18]

Made a trip over to GD-P2004 and posted a few things to stir it up... Beer, anyone? :evilgrin:

[Intelsucks]

1. It doesn't take much does it?

:toast: :beer:

[Padraig18]

4. Not much at all.

:toast:

[JVS]

2. what was it?

I like the spectacles in GD extra crispy

[Padraig18]

5. I posted the latest Democratic candidate vs. candidate numbers.

It's fun seeing the silence from the 'usual suspects' in the "Dean is unelectable" camp...:P

[JVS]

8. Oh I sae that,. Good thread

[Obamarama]

3. I assume GD-P2004 is GeorgeDick-President 2004.....

So what did ya say to stir up the hornets? Fess up...

[Padraig18]

7. Just a poll and a brief statistical piece (poll)

It doesn't take much to get the group there heated up. :P

[terrya]

6. I 'll go over there, and I swear it's the same damn arguements.

But you have more courage than I, my friend.

[Kolesar]

9. It is not allowable at DU to call someone a troll

Do please explain how "whacking a hornets' nest" in GD-P2004 by starting a controversial threads is different than being a troll.

edit:misplaced pronoun

[Padraig18]

10. They're not controversial.

Go and look at them for yourself. :hi:

[Kolesar]

13. I see

All those posts look like repeats of what I have seen here for months. Not so much whacking a hornets' nest as pouring oatmeal on an anthill.

[Padraig18]

15. GD-P2004 is sooo polarized...

... that at trhis point, the side panel on a Cheerios box could get some people over there stirred up. :P

[Kolesar]

21. You don't mean messing with farm subsidies so close to the Iowa caucus?

That would be political suicide!

[Rulergirl]

11. what did you post?

[Padraig18]

12. I posted a poll and...

... I also posted the candidate vs. candidate numbers from the latest CNN/Time poll. :)

[Rulergirl]

14. just went over to take a look-----shows that Dean is electable, hehe

:bounce:

[Padraig18]

17. The "Dean is unelectable" crowd has been curiously subdued...

... since that poll was released. :)

[Rulergirl]

19. I'm surprised how many Clark supporters are here on DU

I just came here from the Dean Blog where someone posted a link to www.democraticunderground.com

[Kolesar]

22. Yeah, I 'm surprised too

It is almost like they are clones of each other (wink, wink).
And further, Welcome to the Democratic Underground!!! :party:

[Rulergirl]

28. thanks!

[Spirochete]

27. Yeah, but...

I'll bet the "Dean is the devil" people haven't slowed down any.

[trof]

16. Y'all oughta be ashamed of yourselves.

Goin' over there and pokin' 'em with sticks.
<hee>
It's more fun to roll in a grenade and run.
;-)

[Padraig18]

18. LOL! Wanna go dynamite fishing?

:evilgrin:

[trof]

20. You can make a pretty fair depth charge

with a cherry bomb and a mason jar full of sand.
Or so I've heard.

O8)

[Padraig18]

23. *grin*

I wouldn't know about cherry bombs, or M-80's, or any of that stuff... *whistles innocently* :evilgrin:

[tigereye]

24. Haven't been in there since they split GD

at least not intentionally. Is it scaaaarryyy? I wanted to see if there was anyone else who liked Moseley -Braun... but I haven't had the courage. :)

[Padraig18]

25. I dearly love Carol.

She's a wonderful, warm, kind and intelligent person. :)

[tigereye]

26. that is good to know...

I've only seen a few posts about her here... but then I'm not around that much. She projects such warmth.

BTW P what good stuff are you guys having for dinner tonight :)Your menus always sound so good! I'm still thinking about making paella sometime. We had Chicken curry last night with spices my husband got for Christmas. There is nothing like the smell of curry and ginger.. sorry didn't mean to turn this into a food thread...

[Padraig18]

29. We're having a boiled dinner.

Lamb shanks, potatoes, cabbage and carrots, plus apple pie and ice cream for dessert.:)

[Zuni]

30. It is ugly as usual

seperating the 2004 elections from the GD hasn't produced the desired result of more civility.
I do not even go into the 2004 candidate room. Too ugly.
