While we haven't been banned from NQ we have been diss'd and piss'd from NQ because we didnt embrace the "new" NQ which suddenly emerged a few months ago as the anti-Obama-bashing site it has now become. While that is technically none of us "old" posters business, it is sad, because we used to be part of a community that exchanged and discussed viewpoints on a wide range of subjects not just such a narrow one as Hillary and Obama. Now the only "discussion" is about what a great Dem candidate Hillary is and what a poor candidate Obama is. Just to give you an example Huffpo is definitely a pro Obama site, however they have a lot of other stories then just "attacking" Hillary, in fact they dont even really attack Hillary,as you ppl attack Obama here. You ppl also seem to be quite upset that the MSM and some internet sites are not fair and unbiased when it comes to discussing the merits of the two Democratic candidates, but you should really look in the mirror at yourselves and see how biased and unfair you have become when it comes to discussing the merits of those two candidates Kind of like old saying "Do as I say, not do as I do."

Over the last 2 years, both mine and my wife's fathers passed. We get used to it, but never really over it. Meanwhile, over here at NQ, there's a whole fresh batch of commenters. It seems many of them feel like the diss'd & piss'd from some other sites where they felt punished for alternate opinions about Mr. O. Comments sound like KOS is becoming Orwell's Animal Farm.

And if I may add my own 2cents worth; an un-tested plan/candidate = a non-plan. And what about that 3am phone call? Sounds like it's actually been ringing since friday. Yeah I just read that.
