If I had to make a choice betweew a presentation by Aero Guy or Saganista, Sag would get my vote any day. I know a salesman when I read him and do not trust a word he has written.
I've actually been accused several times of being a paid contributor, which I think is ridiculous! LOL I see myself as less of a defender of the GOP and more of a defender of conservative principles. My main schtick is personal responsibility....no one has approached me to pay to tout that message, unfortunately. LOL

LOL...Greg i'm not a salesman in the slightest. In fact, you'd be surprised at my distaste for the sales profession! It borders on being unhealthy!
If it is a range of topic, OK. But there are people who only seem interested in one topic. To me that is suspicious, after all this board covers every topic one can imagine and I don't know anyone who is only interested in one topic in private.
I am not surprised you showed up in this thread
And again, why is it suspicious for a person to have a specific interest in a given topic? What is your process of reasoning to come to such a suspicion?
Maybe the person reads the rest, but only likes to respond in a specific topic because it interests them or they have more knowledge in that topic?
I just don't see any logical progression of thought that can reasonably establish such a suspicion as being anything more than blind assumption.
As for your last comment, why? Again, please explain your reasoning.
Sounds like the liberal media is getting tired of "anonymous posters" discrediting their propaganda-posing-as-news in the comments section.
Soon they'll require "anonymous posters" to log in with their social security number and mother's maiden name before they'll allow you to post, and even then it will have to be "approved" by somebody making sure you "comply" with arbitrary "discussion rules".
Perhaps but the quality of many of these posts is so low that I suspect many are just virulently partisan and roam around posting the same junk.
Easy way to check is to see if they only post in political and also have a lower post count because to be effective you'd just want to start a thread and then move on to another website and so forth.
I suspect, the people that are not paid will hang around arguing and bickering rather than toss the molotov cocktail and run.
I actually thought it was ones with the higher posting seems they have a lot of time on their hands to run all over CD. Some of us just choose certain places to waste time, rather than posting all over to get reps.
Some only seem to go to certain Obama threads......

I think that's all quite obvious. Either you get it or you don't, who cares...
I think when you see that kind of stuff coming from someone with low reps and their account is brand new with very few posts you can pretty much figure out what's going on.
We aren't talking about trolls, these shills are very active. The posts are mainly distractions away from the subject, and attacks on the messenger or the poster.
Did you catch one poster who believed it was more from people on the right and less of this garbage from the left.......now that's
I agree most provide links and you can read them or not..........
Note that the shills are not the ones providing links to back up their opinion. Their purpose is to smear and discredit, without offering alternative links to prove what they say.
