To the contrary. The splitting here has been instigated by and fostered by the leader of this forum and those members of the far right who cannot accept any discussion of a candidate who doesn't meet their "social values" test. And yet, these people have become so marginalized, that I doubt it's long term effect on the Republican Party, if the Party decides to broaden its scope to bring in those some here have gone out of their way to keep out. But yes, there is a definite split here on FR, and it will likely be fatal in the long run.
Discussion is healthy. Name calling is not. I can agree with that. Besides, how else are we going to convince you that you are wrong?
How about a little intellectual discourse? But those days are long gone here on FR. It has become nothing but oneupmanship on these threads, and I don't see much that's going to change it. If I get on here and say, here's the reasons I like so and so, I will likely be met by sarcasm at best and vitriolic name calling at worst. There is nothing positive going on here at all. Yes, discussion is healthy. We might want to try it again some time.
