It's by a long shot the worst board on this site. Unless you are ridiculously hardcore tea party, it's pretty much impossible to post on there without being gang banged. It'd be like if I posted positively about any team besides Bama on the SEC Rant and constantly got belittled for it. That board's overall consensus opinion makes Richard Nixon look like Jimmy Carter.

Don't worry, any view left of Rick Santorum or Michelle Bauchman is instantly ridiculed as liberal on that board.

I think the board would benefit from having another admin with a more liberal or neutral mindset to negate any bias. Just my 2 cents on the matter.


That will happen after Obama appoints conservatives to his administration

SEC Rant is actually.

If the left leaning posters didn't just spin every Obama failure, good discussion could be had.

PoliBoard is entertaining, I like to see how the hivemind is spinning things and taking it all way too seriously.

Awful place for actual discussion though.

I think after tonight's debate, it needs to be renamed the Republigasm Board.

He voted for Obama in '08.


I stand corrected then. Like I said, I don't have a problem with him. The problems on the board have way more to do with the inmates than the guards.

Just because someone voted for Obama in '08 doesn't mean they're liberal or leaning that way.

LA has expressed his political beliefs on the board before and they're very close to my own.

However, the constant childish personal attacks that contribute nothing to conversations and discussions should be cracked down on, in my opinion.

I used to post on the poli board a good bit, but just avoid it now. Hell, toothpick would appear downright civil on the board today!

If it bothers you that much, move on.

Exactly. Obama supporters are in full spin mode after last night. If you can't handle his failure, I'm not sure you are ready to discuss politics.

Oh yeah, Obama supporters are the only one that spin things. Let's overlook all the spinning about the 47% comment or the meltdown in a stickied thread about the unemployment rate being down.

That board is full of spin and little political discussion.

Now you can't post anything that isn't conservative without getting berated or attacked.

You might be more welcomed on the SR Politics board. My banishment there tells me that's true. Just sayin'.

Right. Because if the same things were said about Romney it would be alright.
