No, you were much nicer. But it was the similarity of your rhetoric that triggered the memory I thought I'd share.
It could be worse. I'll share the tale of the Obama staffer (here in Madison, not IA or NH) we suspect of shoplifting one of these days. But for now, I have to get myself to work.
People do tend to get WAY too attached to candidates sometimes. I ran into a few of those (ironically Edwards supporters) in 2004 when I worked on the Clark campaign.
I personally would never TELL someone else how to vote. But I know my electoral priorities (as far as issues go) and generally feel strongly about them.
And I never expect to win. I'm 0-10 on campaigns I've worked for. (apparently soon to be 0-11)

Thank you. There's a difference between talking at and talking to someone. I prefer the latter.
While out campaigning, I got along with Edwards people the most out of any of the Democratic contenders. That one guy was more the exception. I stopped and had a chat with an Edwards supporter while canvassing Dubuque. At the caucus, I was sandwiched between them (Edwards won the precinct I captained) and the Biden group. The Kucinich backers I was chatting with all wound up in the Edwards group as their second choice. The friend I stayed with in NH was volunteering for Edwards. I had a nice chat with another Edwards supporter at that bar - mostly packed with Hillary people - not too long before that incident I mentioned. He even gave me one of his homemade circle-slash/no "Clinton Dynasty" buttons. So I'm better, I think, with his people than the other camps' people.
Obama's supporters are plenty friendly, but seem a bit misguided or underinformed. Hillary's supporters I encountered in NH were rather condescending and snobby/elitist. The only one I actually met in Iowa was another UW-Milwaukee student who knew the two other Richardson people I was rooming with. He was alright.
I should note that when I say "supporter" I'm referring to those in the volunteer/staff category. Not trying to generalize on who votes for these candidates here.
It looks like both Obama and Clinton will travel back to Washington to vote against the FISA revisions giving immunity to law breakers. Great news! I must say I'm a bit surprised.
Let's hope we have enough Senators to stop this bill.
Also it looks like Reid is back on our side saying he will make Reps actually filibuster if they want to stop amendments (like Dodd's amendment to remove the immunity clause.)
For political junkies, here's a link of what's going on.

troo we can do it together and stop all the silly nonsense we keep seeing on the nightly news...watching obama and hillary and the silly" repubics" is making me sick....oh yeah meg the rethuglican is secretly a tree huggin libby
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo
I'll be Boz's VP. I like a job where you have nothing to do.
Nothing to do? Please.
Though that gig once wasn't worth a warm bucket of spit, after Gore and Cheney I think there's a pretty solid argument that the vice presidency matters.
Surely you've got something up your sleeve on par with Reinventing Government...

I guess he does not understand that Boz would just be a figurehead and the real power would be with the VP
