A strong suggestion on the use of names.

[Tyler Durden]

I do not make up funny little cutsie names for Senator Obama, or his supporters. I have used the word "Cultists" to describe certain behavior when shoved down my throat, but I will attempt to curb the urge.

I do not LIKE the man and I do not SUPPORT him. That is no excuse for behaving like a child.

That said, the woman's name is Senator Hillary Clinton, not "Billary" or some other disparagement. Her supporters are not "Hill-bots" or some other epithet.

The use of a proper name connotes the maturity level of the person using the name.

1. I've never lowered myself to that kind of stupid bullshit.

They're either Obama supporters or Hillary supporters. I will use the name Hillary because that's what most of the Hillary supporters refer to her. But the other crap is stupid.

[Tyler Durden]

2. I always use Clinton because I think it more respectful.

It seems Obama supporters usually refer to him by his last name, and seldom his first.

3. That's just me. I could be wrong.

4. Obama supporters and Clinton supporters. period.

I do refer to Hillary, I got in the habit to distinguish whether I was talking about her or Bill.

Let's save the disrespectful names for the Reich Wing.

5. Thank you; that needed to be said.

6. We can still make fun of the Paultards and McCanaanites, thought, right? n/t

7. I wouldn't, but hey whatever trips your trigger.

Free country....

Wait a sec....

Oops.

8. I agree.

Thanks. I have always hated the use of sheep, Repukes and all the other cute little names used so often. Now there are some really funny one's for Bush** (Dimson is one of my favorites) and I sometimes use those so I am certainly not coming to this completely pure myself.

This is what always happens when your candidate becomes your love, your reason for being engaged and your hero. It is sick but it seems it can't be stopped. It always happens but the last few elections it has been overwhelming.

9. I think I would exempt Bush from that protection.

He has earned all the abuse he can get, and I have no problem seeing him get everything he has earned, in abundance.

10. I never refer to them as anything other than...

Mr. Obama or Ms. Clinton. I have no interest in lowering my standards just because some people seem to have no issue with lowering theirs.
