I didn't think too much of it, but I saw a posting from "microbial" a name I didn't recognize, only here since the 10th, 89 posts and only in P&N... so I searched and all his/her posts are Obama's talking points. I know the chances are slim and I know I've been suspicious of all of you on the left for a while ;) but if we had such a person....

I could very well be wrong but what are the chances ;)

Let's just assume for a moment that your suspicion is correct even though I don't believe it is true at all. Let's assume that there are a couple people here that are like that. Do you honestly believe that if we were to some how magically have prevented any of them from posting on this forum that the actual content and discussion on it would change at all? We have plenty of supporters of both Obama and McCain here. We have plenty of people that data mine information and present arguments all of the time and very quickly after said information is released for that matter.

You see my point? It doesn't matter if there are some of those people here from either party. Nothing on this forum would change at all. Therefore, there really is no reason for them to come here in the first place. Not when you can simply send information to the news media or host the same information on websites that may or may not include any kind of web forum. Sending "infiltrators" here is both a waste of time and money.

Such is the state we are in, with the fanatical echo choir.

There is hope. Obama just spent an entire half hour of political advertising without once saying a negative thing about his opponents.

HMMM...

Microbial registered 10/10/2008 and has only posted in P&N and always supports Obama and slams McCain. Interesting....

You're a silly little bitch.
