Jamo,
I was commenting on the quantity, not the quality (or lack thereof). The vitriol level from a lot of the regulars arguing their point has been very high at times (and often OTT), and I would certainly agree that Bush/Cheney have taken some shots, some of them cheap. However, most of the politically oriented threads (and associated thread titles) are started by the same small group of people, and almost of them ardent right wingers. I personally do not like any thread title that starts off with an insult to either party.
And you did chastise me a few years ago for my calling Bush (or any president) a moron (or whatever I called him) as it is disrespectful to the office as well as the man. I actually agreed with you and have tried to refrain from any name calling to any of them (I usually just say that I am not fond of them). I would rather debate specific policies of either party or administration anyway.
Still, your comment begs the question - if a lot of the other posts were cleaned because of the negative references to the office of the President, why do we still have thread titles like Opuzzy and O'no?
Anyway, have a good weekend - I get to go meet a brand new nephew in a couple of hours.
