I would like to have a debate about their issues based on the substantive reasons they disagree with the current administration, and for that matter with the GOP.

I agree. Personal insults and name calling do nothing to advance the argument from either side. Let your conviction stand on its own.

I assure you, I'm not angry I voted the way I did

What about all those leftie nuts burning Bush in effigy all those years?

The left should be scared of the tea partiers - older folks vote.

Oh! I didn't realize he'd had a change in style, if not a change of heart. This must have happened during my enforced absence. I was assuming the guy who likes to challenge people to fist fights over cars was still here. I guess I ought to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Now, for a serious response to the OP's OP.

I think having a dedicated Tea Party Forum isn't any more desirable than having a dedicated Liberal/Democrat or Conservative/Republican forum. These various perspectives can be (and are) expressed quite adequately within the context of the PC Forum as a whole. There's no need, IMO, to "Balkanize" this place any more than it already is.

Insults aside, I still think your dog is ugly.
