I'm a Democratic-leaning independent voter that has lurked on the site for some time. Although I don't agree with the viewpoints of many here, I've learned quite a bit from the research necessary to fairly appreciate both sides of the issue. Pretty much the same reason I listen to Hannity and Rush.

I also belong to DailyKos but likewise rarely find myself in lockstep agreement with the left, either, on any issue. I'd be the first one to admit that both sides often have valid points. I just wish politicians would do a better job of acknowledging that, instead of unmercifully demonizing the other side in playing to their constituencies.

Hopefully, questions I ask along the way may enlighten other non-conservatives who occasionally browse FreeRepublic.

Maybe he is just a slow typer.

C'mon Freepers...

..he started a thread....his first post!!...

..and LEFT

Why are folks still replying to him?

[BykrBayb]

What was your name before the Bug Zapper Thread^TM?

[BykrBayb]

Because we’re running low on trolls these days.

Look for the definition of the word ‘kos’ in the farsi language. I can not tell you the meaning in this venue.

“Just seems like one of those lost souls standing in the middle of the road. You know, a moderate.”

They turn into grease spots... I have heard.

“Democratic-leaning independent...”

Just like Al Gore at the moment.

What is your point? Do you like playing in a sandbox full of bullcrap, eat it and digest it but something is telling you it’s not healthy?

Just a reminder potential troll, bullcrap is not something you want to be eating, let alone play with, at least if you value life and your offspring’s life.

So you are voting for Rudy?

"Maybe he is just a slow typer."

Maybe, I heard a rumor Rudi used RaisingPaine as an alias. Then again, it could have been just a drive by shooting.

[Nasty McPhilthy]

Can’t Believe I made it.

[saganite]

Remember that Loudon Wainright song “there’s a dead skunk in the middle of the road”? Perfect description of a moderate.

[#1CTYankee]

"Because we’re running low on trolls these days."

Don't worry, things will pickup as the primaries get closer.

I wish I had that caption of McCoy for for the inevitable. ;-D

Is his computer plugged in?

You’ve noticed, I’m sure, that Democrats don’t debate ideas.

Liberals have no principles. They only have fashions. They’re for whatever the self-righteous idea of the moment happens to be.

So, like Rosie O’Donnell, Liberals lecture and hector—but run away from a discussion.

[LibLieSlayer]

We have PLENTY of trolls... some just pretend to be FReepers!

[LibLieSlayer]

Yep, I remember it. :-)

Just curios RP, while a member of the DailyKos, how do you put up with some of that tolerant daily vitriol about killing all conservatives?

Just wondering. You guys wrote the book on tolerance and moral issues right? Like sucking the brains out of a viable baby, I mean fetus and calling it late term abortion.

Come on, share some of your wisdom. We are hungry for your opinions with baited breath.
