Yes, sure Copying and inverting someone else's statement often yields ridiculous results... Have you already prepared excuses if Obama gets reelected?

It is kind of fun to see all of the excuses you are able to come up with so that you can keep ignoring facts...it is impressive. You should go into sales...you would fit right in.

Why? These people are omnipresent in the political forum, many of them in a pretty aggressive way. It is striking they did not participate in the poll...

Sometimes you have to dig deeper to understand what looks like facts at first glance...

I hate sales

You hate sales? Really? You have been ignoring statistically relevant data to push a view that has no support other than your own opinion. If that isn't sales, I don't know what is!

You are pretty good at it too! Who needs facts when you have a decent salesman pushing their personal opinion?

It always seems more "left" to me.

This may be because, as is commonly known, it is moderated "left,"
therefore the nasty remarks by lefties are allowed
while right-leaning remarks are deleted and/or scolded.

If moderation were done evenly,
the forum would come off as more balanced.

As it stands, one side is allowed liberties the other side is not.

(Me? I'm a moderate.
But I don't appreciate the disparity
and it does affect how the forum comes off, unfortunately.)

Feel free to have your opinion, others agree with me and for a good reason...

How is this forum moderated left? Why would there be numerous more or less openly racist threads if that were the case?
I myself am more to the left obviously, and I get my share of infractions and lots of my posts have been deleted.
All in all, this board is moderated well and in a balanced way.

Sure...it is easier to claim a poll is wrong than it is to admit you are wrong. Not sure if I would call it a GOOD reason...
