Resorting to name-calling in your very first post on a "why hate?" thread shows to me that the rest of the post is insincere, and that you don't want to actually remove hate from politics, just deflect it from your candidate. Once you are willing or able to put aside your hatred long enough to construct a post without exhibiting it, I'll take your "stop the hate" thread seriously.
I'm not making personal attacks against you or your character, I am challenging your post, the way in which you started this thread, and your motivations for this thread. I don't know you personally, and don't dislike or like you. To me you're just someone that I disagree with on a message-board.

You are right Ser. I am so used to typing Faux and Dredge I didn't even think about it. I should have refrained from using them as examples because of my immense dislike for them. It did shoot the rest of my argument to hell. I did say I was just as guilty, but when making an argument one should refrain from becoming his own target.
As for the personal attacks, I don't know it just seems that your rebuttals to me have been not always on topic or my opinions but towards me personally. Perhaps i am too sensitive. If your attacks haven't been personal and since you say none of them have then I appologize for believing they were.
And before someone claims I posted I wasn't posting anymore on Politics, I did want to address this before I left.
