They are opinion shapers. we have all seen screen names recently that we've never seen before although they signed up years ago. They come here to stir dissent and create an atmosphere of anger and drive a wedge between Republicans.

Peach, the problem is that there are conservatives who are legitimately upset with certain things this administration has done. Falsely accusing those of us who have been GOP supporters for years does not help the conservative cause either. It just drives people away from the Party. I know there are trolls on here, but that doesn't mean any conservative who is very upset with Bush right now is a troll.

And I never said there wasn't room for legitimate dissent and anger. I'm not delighted with some things the president has done either. And don't get me started on the Republicans in Congress.

What I'm talking about are posters who we've never seen post before but they signed up years ago. If you check their posting history, they waited until now to post and don't post anything except criticism of the president or Republicans.

And when those same posters start talking about third parties or staying home to teach the Republicans a lesson, then I think they are opinion shapers and trolls.

No one has even come close to suggesting such a thing.
