I too love talking politics particularly with lefties.
Hey...where do all the lefties go here at the HOP? It seems they always quit. Pockets is the sole exception and THC too, but he is a mod....so he does not count.
I have found that many libs are not capable of reasonable civilized political debate. They usually resort to screaming hysterically and personal attacks. Just as they do on college campuses and elsewhere, where they disrupt conservative speakers by acting like fools. Conservatives do not try to silence libs. But, libs sure do all they can to silence conservatives.
My wife's closest friend is a commie lib. She stayed with us this past weekend. She disagreed with me that the rich pay most of the income tax and that Bush's wars are not soley responsible for the huge government debt. She actually believes Bush went to war in Iraq for oil. How can you debate someone who is uninformed? She even asked where did I get such information and further stated her information is different. When I showed her the tax rates FROM THE IRS, she still refused to believe it. CRAZY!!!
