Well in that case the "In the News" board should be replaced with "Democratic and Liberal spinned information...agree with us or we will call you a blind Bush follower" board.

This board actually has plenty of Dems quacking about and sharing their POV's here...sorry it is the Republicans or Conservatives who seem to be winning the debates ;)

The Cons aren't winning the debates, they're just louder and more obnoxious spouting the same twisted lines/lies over and over and over...The truth can be told more quietly.

By the way, have you voted in the board election? http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-elpoliticsto&msg=3384.1&ctx=128

The results will probably surprise (most of) us!

Wow... I didn't know this board was all about winning or losing. I thought it was a place to come and discuss the issues, and heck- maybe even try to open your mind and to see things from someone else's point of view. Guess I was wrong about that.

Better they sit and spew at their own kind than go out and sway the undecided. Use this board as many of us do - as motivation to get out and register voters and talk to people face to face. You can also use this board to sharpen your debate skills. Comes in handy when talking to people face to face and you don't have time to check the facts on the internet.

Hang in there. I've run into a lot of Republicans who are feeling pretty cocky - Republican White House, Congress and Senate, some argue Supreme Court, even the media. They think they're the only ones allowed an opinion. Best way to shut them up - vote them out. Get out there and get involved.

Then there are the sane Republicans who are willing to listen and debate without name calling. I learn the most from them. There are a few here on this board. You just have to take the good with the bad. Unfortunately it takes time to get through their posts and it's about 1 good post to 10 name calling baseless ones.

But in the end remember we all agree on one thing - this country is worth fighting for, as is our freedom of speech. :-) Keep fighting the good fight no matter what side you're on. In the end we'll all realize the power we have on November 2nd (assuming the Diebold machines don't miscount!). :-)

Spouting the same twisted lies/lines? I know I am getting sick of those libs doing that...they don't want to face any facts except those spun by their very own...it get's very tiring going up against that kind of mentality. ;)

Err, yes I do know what debate means... but thanks so much for cutting and pasting the definition! :-)

I visit this board to read articles and stories that I might not see elsewhere and to read other's opinions, because I learn something new by looking at the issues from the other side. Just wonder if that's the case for some others here. I'm not here to "win" anything.
