Re: OT Please No more US Presidential Politics
No Bill, you are mistaken. Politics violate the group's charter.
This is a Jeep newsgroup. Please take your politics somewhere
appropriate.
If I have to start filtering a group after all these years, I will
certainly have to rethink if this is the place for me or if it is time
to move on.

Re: OT Please No more US Presidential Politics
I couldn't agree more. I didn't say I condoned it, or liked it. I just
said good luck in avoiding it. Reporting posters to their ISP's may have
some sucess but I doubt it make make a big difference in the long run. I
could be wrong.... seems there's been less filth around here lately. Maybe
that is a result of Mike and Bill and others reporting a lot of stuff to the
ISP's.
I'm already dreading a family reunion with most of my family being complete
political opossites of me..... At least it happens after the election, when
there won't be much to argue about anymore (unless it's another close vote).

Your family's like everyone else's. If you're not liberal when
you're young, you have no heart, but if you're not conservative when
you're old then you have no brain!

Oh, I love family gatherings because mine is split 50/50 and each side is as
rabid as Bill about their point of view. I've been know to walk into a room and
toss out something sure to **** off one side or the other. They will get all
over me like "flies on stink" and then the other side will come to my defense.
Those guys will go on for hours. I guess I'm just a troll with my family. <lol>
I find it much more easy to incite the conservatives in my family than the
liberals. Maybe it is as Bill suggests that the young are liberals and the
older ones are conservatives. And by having had that change of heart they some
how feel the need to convert everyone to the "correct" way of thinking. But the
youngest adult of the group is a Rush Limbaugh kool-aid drinker, <g> so that
only goes so far.
Too bad we're not having a get together before the election, I could catch me a
mess o' suckers. <rotfl>
