    I think all this anti-establishment bs is overrated myself. For the reasons you mention in your last sentence.

    I thought Petrozza was banning people like you who engage in name-calling.

    I don't give a shit whether you are bored or not. I just like calling it like it is, and your "pox on all your houses" cynical pose is a fake.

    If we are, I'd rather know what was said 'off the record'.

    You keep calling me names like "faker" which is incredibly hurtful. Maybe I should report you to Petro?

    You're a blowhard, you're narcissistic and incredibly thin-skinned. On the internet.

    And I like how you had felt compelled to announce "Ftr, for everyone else" like anyone gives a shit about what you say.

    Go point out where you get that I'm a right winger? Because I support gay rights and abortion and have a supreme distaste for the religious right? Because my Dad got me an NRA card when I was 14 and have never cancelled it--but I don't shoot? Because I make money?

    Other than calling Hillary a smelly cunt--because it get SO under your skin--show me one post that I talk one way or another about what I vote on--because you can't--I never have. I am proud to consider myself a moderate conservative but my biggest issue with this and the other thread is how naive and childish the back and forth is trying to convince the other side that one side is "less evil".

    I haven't watched one second of any of the debates because it's pure and simple theater--nothing of substance ever gets said and deciding who to vote for based on those dog and pony shows is idiotic.

    You're like a child--I was angry like you 25 years ago--I haven't felt that burn in a very long time.

    Let it go, it'll eat up your insides.

    Have a glass of wine, relax, you're not changing anyone's mind.

    Used to be a rumor that moderators could read private messages here. Probably not true.

    Stokes is a right winger but I don't think he ever faked. He is your typical conservative. Were there any suspicions about this? :)

    Moderate conservative? Absolutely

    Right winger? Lol--no way.

    Pretty much apolitical at this point in my life.

    There was a time when rogue elements attempted to take over the party, but the forces of the entrenched establishment crushed the rebellion.

    And because one describes or aligns himself with a political persuasion does not mean that you are particularly political.

    I find this whole debate incredibly naive--reading some of the rants here are truly funny--the angst and anger and bitterness to defend one side or the other is pure entertainment.

    I haven't given a shit about the political process since 2004.

    Very true Stokes. You basically described me. Can I be your ally and we can attack Big Blocker together? A few weeks ago he didn't accept my alliance and now I am in search of a new ally.

    Sounds gay.

    But I back gay right 100% so this puts me in a quandary.

    Yeah. Supposedly I am a liberal and I don't support Gay marriage. Go figure. In fact, thinking about it, I am really socially very conservative.

    The argument is that there are a lot of white lower middle class voters who have fallen out of the political process over the last generation and they are currently exploring a return to a broken political system that does not serve them well.

    I don't know that I buy the argument, but it is there.

    Hmmph. Awwwfully cuddly. And it's on record.

    You're on your own when Bonebag shows up. I'm staying out of this one.
