You think Riot is really any different than Del, Joey, RBE etc? She may take things to a bit more of an extreme and can be condescending, but jeepers...the Republicans aren't? You just disagree with her opinions so attack, attack , attack...
I, along with many others (right and left) don't post here much anymore. It used to be fun to have conversations about politics, but....and maybe my head is in the sand...I just don't think you can argue politics with a Conservative. At some point their natural instinct is to just lash out. I have my definite opinons but don't claim to be correct 100% of the time. I think righties do and even if they may have their doubts about an issue, the default is being a Liberal is a small step from being a communist, socialist or even the devil. I have never voted for a repubilican and loathe most of their platform, but still enjoy the debate. I wish that could happen more.

I guess you don't read here much anymore. Riot and her lackey Big Run have hijacked this section with their constant attempt to impose their views on others and dismiss even a hint of criticism to their agenda. I am hardly a tea partier or conservative, but probably come across as one as I have fun ridiculing them when I am bored. I have no problem engaging in discussions of issues, but there is no debate with those that are so far on the left, which tends to be the problem with the extreme liberals. So I just play their stupid game for entertainment value and allow them to make fools of themselves.
I know your views and don't have a problem with them since you can engage like a decent human being. But really, to still be taking the tact of attacking Cheney and Palin when they have no present relevance is just asking for someone to call you out and I have to think you know that. Like you, I agree that it would be nice to have an intelligent debate. But even though I disagree with much of what is stated by those you have named, you can't seriously put them in the same category of Riot and Big Run's constant defense of everything she throws out there.
