Cesspool: An Open Thread

This is another open thread, dedicated solely to smearing candidates and their supporters.  Seemed like the thing to do, after reading a few threads today.

This will allow our more talented diarists to write something useful, instead of having to write shitty hit diaries.

So... A few quick requests (don't wanna call 'em rules):

Don't be a complete asshole.  Vent, but remember that most of us are gonna wind up on the same side.

Don't troll rate anyone for venting, unless they are violating rule # 1.

Don't get defensive when your guy/gal/muppet gets attacked.  That's what this thread is for.

Onward...

First we'll need a theme song:

Maybe a quick follow up:
[Warning: this is a GWAR video.  Think twice before you check it out.]

One more, similar emotion:

I'll close this pointless diary with the thoughts I left at the end of my last one:

[A]fter you get some of this shit out of your system, go back to work.  Talk up your candidate(s).  Support them, volunteer for them.  Help get them ready for New Hampshire.  Write diaries with passion and intelligence, that express why you believe in a particular candidate.

There's a fair piece of road still to be traveled.  Remember what the stakes are.  Your enemies today are your allies all too soon.

Anyway, commence the hatchet work.

Oh, yeah.  If you don't feel like bashing anyone, post vids or pootie pics, or something.

Cheers.
