Folks...*ahem* YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!
Advertisements [?]When you make an anecdotal post about the conversion of your ultra-neocon stepmother / father / sister / aunt / barber / haberdasher / random small town guy at a restaurant...Don't include exact quotes from ten minutes' worth of conversation. It just lets us know that you're lying.
You know, unless you happened to have a tape recorder on you.
DU during election season has more fiction than the Chicago public library!

7. Those conversations are clearly not word-for-word what was
said, and no one believes that.
Rather, it is the poster's best retelling (in so many words) of a remembered conversation.
But I guess the average conservative can't wrap their tiny little brain around that idea...

10. If you do not worship the god that is DU in every way, you are a Republican!
You're putting me to sleep with that one. It's really kind of pathetic. If you knew what I did for a living, you'd bite your tongue.
As for your other stuff...The use of quotation marks with no disclaimer means you're full of it.

12. "You're putting me to sleep with that one."
You didn't make that up, did you?

8. I think most people realize that recounts of conversations are parapharased.
They would almost have to be unless the conversation were very short.
And since most of us have no idea who others are, it's really hard to determine what motivations may be involved. Take it with a grain of salt, but not all of them are going to be fiction.

9. hahahahaha -- and, it's NOT just election time
Glad to see another poster who thinks many of these stories are either total bunk or highly embellished!

I would not presume to speak for all lousy freeper trolls, but I think it runs counter to our long term enjoyment of DUmmy imbecility to discourage bouncy stories. Just consider that without lies, we would not have enjoyed the best of William Rivers Pitt, and TiTtyboy Tom would not even exist.
So, if Venceramos is here, please, sir, cease and desist!

Poor Bouncy Ball, I wonder what happened to her. If Obama loses it will be because she has ended her conversion mission. :( :-)
