I don't mean that there are people that are leaning republican, I mean that there are people who are republican disingenuiously posing as democrat (or liberal in general) as a means to divide us. I'm sure of this, but I won't cite names or anything, they do have their right to their opinion where ever they may choose to post it providing it adhears to the same set of rules we must adhear to. However, I will continue to argue with them as I find them on a case by case basis with the intention of honest debate. And naturally I wouldn't accuse them of anything, but I can't claim not to recognize an increasing amount of odd positions found in amongst what is generally considered a liberal community in Democratic Underground. Of course I could just be paranoid. Mind you a paranoid man need only be right once, whilist a cynical man need only be wrong once.
Cheers, NTF
