Meh. Typical....talk like you've got some sense and people automatically suspect you're not really a conservative.

Speaking of which, what's Jon Huntsman doing these days anyway?

If you look at the list of his comments, he's obviously a republican. What does all this prove?

It's not some fake, democrat dreamed up letter to stir shit up on this forum. It's a Republican who's unhappy with the direction the party has taken... and now we've seen it so it's open for our discussion as well.

Clear as mud? :P

Apologize for my internet ignorance. Where is the link to his forum with the 2000 posts....?

Exactly...where is the link to the 2000 posts?

Let's try post 9, page 1 of this thread.

EDIT: the 2,194 comment karma actually refers to how many positive votes that user's comments have generated over the course of their account history.

I could go down the line, but let's just look at "abortion"/"contraception" as a campaign issue. Well, if we pay close attention we will see it is not the GOP candidates making an issue of this. These issues are brought up by the MSM trying to trip up the Republican candidates (mainly Santorum) to make them look limited and fanatical. The candidates have never instigated a conversation on these issues.

A person who invested in the time to post more than 2000 times.

But that's okay... anyway, I have good news for you! You know that rumor that we have troops in Afghanistan? Well... considering how most of what we hear about it is online, and we don't know if the people who post said stories are lying, and we don't know for sure their real names and addresses... we can pretty much conclude that we don't really have troops in Afghanistan.

JOM... turning denial into solutions since 2006!

And how this guy claims to be a conservative and yet sounds just like a liberal. I've seen letters to Penthouse Forum that were more believable.

All of the alternative energy programs CAN be viable, but actually, underwater turbines are without a doubt the best way to go. Only, it will take about thirty years to lay the cables...

Solar does not pay for itself, quite yet, but soon it will. Wind only pays for itself in areas with high winds. But water turbines never stop - ever.

Why not? There are people who fit this demographic exactly to a tee. Are they less people than you or I? Why in the world are you demeaning someone you do not know? And, in the age of ISP's it is child's play to figure out WHO wrote it.
