It seems that a lot of political questions I've read are on the attack. I'm not saying it's wrong... I'm just wondering if it's an honest attempt to see if someone can give a well thought out answer, or just an excuse to blast the republicrat target of your choosing?

Way to go Aztec! I was wondering how long it would take for a politically motivated answer. 4th answer is actually longer than I thought it would take! :-D

It's mostly an excuse to be snarky. But so is 45% of all answers on Yahoo Answers. It gives people an excuse to act as if they are more intelligent then everyone else. It makes them feel better so it's o.k.

I ask very few questions, but when I do I honestly am curious about the possible answers. I may disagree or agree, but it gives me some needed insight from time to time as to why some people feel a certain way about something or how and why they see it differently than myself. I probably won't agree with them, and may refute their answers in "add'l details" but it helps me to understand sometimes why they feel the way they do, whether I consider it wrong or right.

It's a rhetorical question, which I often enjoy answering. Debate!
I'd say that's most of the questions here.
I have asked my share, and occasionally given the best answer to someone with whom I disagree but who raised a good point.
PS I generally avoid the extremely loaded and/or insulting questions here.

Snarky.
But a question can be "politically skewed" and still present a validate point for debate.
Although 99.9% of Bush-basher questions are pure emotional vomit.

Most likely the latter, and I see this from both Democrats and Republicans.

I think it is both. People are looking for agreement and to pick a fight at the same time.

Many people just want an anonymous forum to vent their views, whether they know anything or not.

They are TROLLS just looking to get people upset.
The news message boards are down, they have nowhere else to go.
