Exactly what I just said in my late post. For a preview have a look here Democratic Underground - General Discussion: Presidential all in the same party yet don't necessarily "agree" on everything. Millions of people on a site that gets more post in a day than we do in 6 months. You asked.

Also, I asked you a question and didn't get an answer. How many republican message boards are out there that have democrats hanging out just to have a difference of opinion?

This isn't factcheck, it's a message board. Big difference.

They don't...That's why we should, if you ask me.

Okay, make your case. Show me any site where both party's a freely sharing in an open forum without ripping their heads off. Then we'll talk.

I didn't say you don't have a point. But sometimes 'ripping their heads off' can be fun and also adds to the topics at hand. We get to see what 'they' are trying to do, 'we' get to counteract.

I honestly couldn't tell you about any republican message board. I've never been to one, nor would I want to because of my preconceived ideas of such places. And the only other "Democratic" board I've even looked at was the HRCForums board when folks here were talking about how nuts they went.

I'm not one to want to get lost in a sea of opinions when I feel I can get a cross section of those same opinions hanging out in a relatively calm bay of opinions.

And of course I now this isn't factcheck, but to dismiss items that have been "fact checked" is the same as promoting only one side despite the facts. I believe things like that are usually called "Republican Talking Points" around here. But it does work both ways.

Thank you. This is what it could be about. You have to admit it's fun when the head-ripping occurs, if it's done properly.

For instance I love it when Don can go off on someone with a vocabulary I can only wish I had.

Either way, I'm off now. Thanks for letting me vent.

Good statement MJ...if I might add to it...


People extremely insecure in their beliefs/opinions and need constant reinforcement and validation allied only with people of like-minds who prefer blind faith over healthy and honest challenges or any sense of reality.

The dumbing of America to be sure...

there are many boards out there without contstant fighting such as the "Democratic Underground" "DC Junkies" " Political Forum", some mods are just more stingy with their marbles than others.
