What if there ARE sleeper trolls? Most of us will not be influenced by them. Plus FR is not big enough to be enough of an influence* in any national election. Who are we kidding?? Many times, we can’t all agree on candidates, and we are an echo chamber about the great constitutional conservatives but can’t make a DENT in national voting.

In here, I am often fooled that we have a chance.

I don’t see the need or the usefulness of sleeper libs coming in here. Waste of time for them and us.

*we may have kept kerry out of the White House - we provided a great platform for the Swift Boat Vets. But he’s in there now anyway...

I think shills come in to float trial balloons, or to create a sense of momentum where none exists. And I believe that RINOS are likely the worst offenders, though I believe they may be actually paid by Media Matters.

We are not as big as some sites, not as small as others.

Trolls don’t care! LOL!

If I wanted to read rollicking debate about candidates, dirt/no dirt and all, I'd come here. I have seen ideas posted here appear in so many words elsewhere afterwards.

Those ideas, the quality of debate, can influence others who carry that onward. So, yes, we can have an impact, whether we FReepers get credit for it or not.

As for Kerry, we helped expose him for what he isn't. That stigma has only been reinforced, imho.
