“It’s very funny watching them take positions diametrically opposed to other positions of theirs; the most important thing is ensuring that you never agree on anything with someone branded with the wrong political label.”
Shortly after I started posting FR in 2004, I came to the conclusion that I was more conservative than many of the people posting here. I found that funny, given that at the time I was an open and notorious Democrat.
I still find the rhetorical pretzels that some FReepers bend themselves into ironic to say the least. You could put a GOP label on a dinner plate and they would go onto explain how life as we know it would end if we didn’t vote for the dinner plate.
It’s kind of like “Animal Farm.” GOP good, anything else baaaaaaaad.
Bob Barr = dinner plate
