They don’t hear or see or care what ordinary people think. This site is way too intelligent for them to read - good sense scares them. Stick around - and could you temper your sarcasm a bit - we DO have some Democrats we respect, like and have high hopes for in the future.</p> No point in pounding on Republicans.

I’m fairly new here and apparently I’m a member of the “troll” community (can someone please explain the meaning behind “troll”?), and I’m amazed at how you guys whack Democrats. I don’t read conservative blogs, but I can’t imagine they’re any harder on Dems than the folks here are.</p> <p>Anyway, this site is certainly lively.</p> Yes, I can certainly see that.

I know that your views are much different than mine but I don’t understand why you are so spiteful and angry. None of us have harmed you nor did the Kennedys. What is your problem?

I’m not angry, Twain, I’m actually quite cheerful when I do this. But I just feel a compulsion to tweak b.s. and hypocrisy, regardless of whether it comes from the left, right, center, or anywhere else.
