The truth about Barack Obama must come out... You should prove it wrong, instead of acting like a child, yourself...
Freedom of Speech doesn't apply to internet forums.

That's why your posts can be edited or deleted.

Why is this a right sided forum? I only see people writing about facts about Obama and others and the Obama facts aren't positive.

Please stop this nonsense. Anyone who truly pays attentions knows that threads like are garbage and unfounded.

Come on people. GROW UP.
Can you refute the facts of the story? Can you explain why these Obama advisors thought it necessary to resign, or perhaps they were asked to resign? Why?

The Obama campaign must think it is not garbage or unfounded.

Why do people in this forum always pull the race card? Everytime someone criticizes Obama, they're automatically labeled a racist. I only see people who aren't supporting Obama getting accused of being racists and not wanting a black president.

The only way to address these propaganda/conspiracy theory threads are to ignore them. If you give a clear, logical response you will be ignored which proves that people really just want to stir the pot, not engage in a real discussion.

This is not a forum where intelligent discussion is the norm. Instead, it is mostly people with opposing viewpoints talking past one another. It is a good place to see what kind of nonsense the opposing side is throwing at the wall, hoping for some sticktion . . .

This is an information site for people relocating or wish to learn about other area's of the country. It also just happens to have a political section, but this is not a political site.

What we have here are people from every walk of life, every level of education, age, race, religion and creed. From the political to the not, and all points in between. Some folks wish to have discussions and debate issues, others just want to hear themselves talk an espouse opinion. You do your best to ignore those who are not of your same taste and focus upon those who you do.

Each day, I see complaints that this forum is Liberal, Right wing, racist, Marxist, etc... you name it. Generally this depends on who was infracted and how they are trying externalizing their blame. After all, a poster can do no wrong, it must be the forum or the moderators or the other members that are to blame, right?

Regardless of what folks think, it is doubtful they will often find themselves sitting among their peers, agreeing with each other all night, preaching to the choir. No matter what flavor your politics and views, most of the time folks will seek out adversarial positions in order to find an argument or create one if none exist. Human nature.

No one is forcing folks to post here, they do so because they want to or feel compelled to. In the end, everyone loves a train wreck.

Hey, at least Obama generates some passion, love him or hate him. He gets much more coverage in the press and also in these forums. McCain - what is there to talk about really?

An elderly gentleman who served his country honorably once upon a time. And by the grace of God and an incredibly weak Republican field now finds himself waking up as a Candidate for President.

God Bless the old codger. But Passion? hmmm.
