I disagree. And as luck would have it, I'm the guy drawing the lines

We operate this board on the premise that everyone here can behave like a grown up. We like to have a place where we can talk to each other without people trolling and screaming along the way. Take Glen and me. I am from Belgium, and he is from Idaho. There is probably very, very little common ground between us in the realm of politics. That doesn't prevent us from discussing things without being abusive or hateful or deceitful.

This way, everyone wins.
Everybody except the trolls of course, but there are plenty of other habitats for them on the internet

Unit, your mom is probably an Obama voter.

Until the republican party stops making abortion and gay marriage major issues in their platform, they don't have a chance to win a presidential election, IMO.
Stick to the economy, small government, and individual rights (basically, be more libertarian) and they win in a landslide.

It does amaze me that so many of you guys that are not Americans are so involved and concerned with our politics, and our way of life, so much so that you are offering your opinions...

Honestly I couldn't tell most of you who your leaders are, what their stances are, what your Health systems are, or Tax systems are or Welfare systems, and better yet I don't really care, unless I lived there, it really isn't my business...

Ive only become so interested because for the last few months that is all that has been on the news channels and in the newspapers in the UK. Its been huge over here. I cant remember it being as big as this 4 years ago

If you only knew. She is VERY strong minded about politics.

I'll give you a pass on this one, but be careful, my friend.
