How many people on here claim to be a normal liberal/conservative and in turn, post an insulting question? I am a fiscal conservative, but I have seen cooks on both sides. And people, don't deny it, I know many of you DO throw insulting (and at times, stupid) questions back and forth.

Chi Guy, not quite what I was going for...

And ywho, you are one of the people that I have noticed post the stupid questions/comments, because I believe you are one of several multis. Now pipe down a bit.

Oh, and Chi Guy, I thought you were a Libertarian, guess I was wrong.

Normal Independent. Some rightfully ask if I am an Independent then why do I harp on neo-cons so frequently. The answer is simple, because they are doing the most damage to the US and the world, far more than any other group at this time. If it were Dems doing the same thing, I'd go after them in the same manner.
I never insult personally YA posters even though SOME neo-cons have called me every name in the book.
edit: Sorry

I am liberal. I can honestly say that I have never posted an insulting question. I HAVE answered in a smart alek way but only in response to a question that is posed in a similar vein.
Frankly, I was just considering not visiting the politics section at all any more. It seems pretty futile. The same people post the same questions and no one's mind is changed. It seems to be just an opportunity to get someone else to agree with your opinion and to make fun of the "other" side. It's gotten rather dull and usually sophomoric.

I do not find any of my questions insulting. I know there are liberals who do. I used the term anchor baby a while back and had my account suspended twice. They found it offensive, and so did some of the communists at Yahoo. It is a legitimate term that explains illegals coming here to have babies so they can be a citizen.
I do not waste my time with name calling like what is seen here. I call it literally and like I see it.
There are trolls on all ends and sides of the spectrum. That is the way it is.

I only say what I believe and ask what I am genuinely curious about.
I am strongly conservative and siding with the republicans(though not 100 % of what they are for)
At the begining of joining I genuinely believed that the people on the Democrat side should be able to debate and disagree, but much of what I see from their side of the aisle (Not all of them but a large portion on Y/A) is treasonous against the country I founght for and gave up my ability to run. (Disabled veteran, Severly damaged ligaments in right knee deemed unrepairable compounded with arthritis due to the injury)
I do think a large part of what the country is doing to Veterans returning is wrong but I also believe that I can voice that to my elected leaders (Which I do) and to publically spout things like that is Sedition and only serves to spread hatred and distrust of the nation.
Likewise I also think that any American who disrespects the military does not deserve the freedoms they have been given by the military.

I try not to get into the insult throwing, sadly though, even I sometimes do, usually after I've had insults thrown at me. Doesn't make it right, so I'll take this chance to appologize to any that I've offended. I have taken "cons" to task about asking/answering in inflaming terms, and have defended "libs" right to ask/answer in their own way.

It depends on the question or the questioner on how I answer.
If the question is just a load of troll crap,I answer it that way.
Or,if the questioner has a habit of that kind of crap,I'll hit back.
Also,when someone post an attack on another user in the form of a "question",I tend to get very rude.
Edit-And idiots who call users they disagree with traitors are garbage and cowards.

I really try not to and I feel like I haven't. Though you are welcome to check me out and see for yourself. I stand by what I've written on here and mostly say things that I would only say to a person's face. Also this is my only account.
I am a liberal.

I try not to - and unlike many members I am not ashamed of what I have posted before so anyone is welcome to look through my questions and answers to demonstrate anywhere I may have been insulting.
