For those who argue that people are just posting party line drivel as opposed to real opinion, please take the time to consider that assertion. People don't just believe these things because they are on Party letterhead. They typically believe them because the points hit close to their personal beliefs.

It's not the belief, it's the delivery. UsTwo, in my opinon, never wanted to discuss anything. He just wanted to post the latest conservative rant and move on. If someone wants to *discuss* their opinion, I'm happy to chat. Seretogis is a great example of a poster who I don't agree with (usually) who I still enjoy having a discussion with. Show me one single post, ever, in which UsTwo considered the opinion of a poster who disagreed with him.
This is a discussion board. I personally rate people here by the degree to which they discuss things. If people just want to have a one way rant, then get a movable type weblog and turn off comments.

Someone in this thread mentioned the fact that Republicans seem united in their beliefs on this board while Democrats are less focused and have more diverse beliefs. Did anyone stop to think why that is? It's because the politics board is more open to Democratic leaning posters and less welcoming to those with Republican tendencies.

A few months ago, I would have said the opposite. BoCoMoFo, Phaenx, Sixate, FEL, UsTwo, you, and others were constantly posting the conservative and republican line. Lebell and Art and Seretogis generally tend to this line as well. When I first started posting here, I thought the Politics board was a conservative bastion and I considered leaving because it was infuriating.
Personally, I'm more than happy to make this board a liberal hang-out. I'll take that as a sign that our side won!
