How did Beach Bum (PhD) ever become a moderator here?

[War-Horse]

Ive got to say that this is a great board.  I have alot of respect for our members and when an event happens during the day, i always wonder if it will come up here and what your take on it will be.

Im tough on hh6 and bb and others, but the truth is it makes it interesting.  Ive learned a huge amount of info on this board and had some good laughs with you guys too.

Its true that theres no true republican here....just neocons....   a ron paul type guy would be cool.

[windsor88]

We both know BB has said that people who don't agree with his views shouldn't have 1st or 2nd amendment right.

We conservative republicans feel a void here, Ozzy.  Can you please email ron@ronpaul2008.com and see if he will be a mod here?

lol.  Sadly Ron Paul would still get the shaft here at GetBig as well.   His posts would get deleted, BB and Coach would unite for a smear campaign.

differing points of view make this board work.

if we all thought alike.....it would suck BIGTIME !

What's wrong with BB?

So what?   I don't know about you, but my goats don't come free.  maybe you should stop letting him get yours soo easily.

If "you republicans" feel a void, send your concerns to the white house.

Hey, what about me? I thought I made people here sick with my RP views.    haha There's also MB772, as well as RonPaul fan.

Anyway, things are fine the way they are, even though I feel like putting my head through the screen with some of the comments, overall people do listen to opposing views and there are good laughs at the responses.

cool. my efforts have not been wasted.   

[Bindare_Dundat]

I would actually have to read your posts for them to have any effect, fortunatly for me I ignore most of your nonsensical comments.

the creepiest thing about Beach Bigot is that he just might be for real

[2ND COMING]

As a lurker in the politics board, I find BB to be doing a good job.

as a lurker also, i couldnt disagree with you more

[OzmO]

How so?

I'm interested as to why you think that.

[MidniteRambo]

Nothing wrong with BB.  The board is infested with maggot-infested FM types.  BB is what we call Affimative Action (we know those  liberals all respect "diversity of opinion"-- HAH!!).

[2ND COMING]

How so?

I'm interested as to why you think that.

from what i've seen.. whether it be objective or not, factually acurate or not...his comments are usually snide.

does that answer your question?

[MidniteRambo]

well from what i've seen.. whether it be objective or not, factually acurate or not...his comments are usually snide

does that answer your question?

God help us,  "snide" on a message board!  Is that the best you can do?

[Deicide]

Eerie how BB is strangely absent from this thread, non? 

[2ND COMING]

God help us,  "snide" on a message board!  Is that the best you can do?

what? are you calling me out via internet? I answered the guy's question. Go bitch to somebody else, random.

[MidniteRambo]

what? are you calling me out via internet? I answered the guy's question. Go bitch to somebody else, random.

And what an answer indeed, BB is "snide"!!!! Was he also quibbling, was he quite obstreperous, ill-tempered?

Someone call the police.  BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

quite pompous are you? it's ok, your not inferior in this dimension, the internet that is..

 

[MidniteRambo]

Ahhh . . pomposity . . . even worse than Snideness.  Now I am forever DQ'd from being a moderator!!!   What shall ever I do???

[Hugo Chavez]

I'd say you look at the base of the republican party, Berserker.

In the group that calls themselves republicans, are there more "neoconservatives", or are there more "constitutional republicans", who would be to the FAR right of the neocons on religion, spending, nation-building, war, and borrowing.

Since we know the nation is basically 50/50 repub/dem... and we know that Bush is at 25% approval rating, it's a safe bet that AT LEAST 50% of repubs do not approve of neocon agenda (and that number is low - it would mean every dem in america is against Bush).

So, if we can agree that 51% of republicans are NOT neocons - then you have a problem here.  You are using a moderator who is a member of a FRINGE WING of the republican party.  If 51% of republicans are constitutionalists, then I contend that you are DISENFRANCHISING them here.  They are simply not represented. 

You have a neocon moderator (which we have proven accounts for 24% of voters at BEST), we have a moderate moderator (ozmo) and far-leftish (berserker) to split the other 50%.

What about the 26% or more, who consider themselves "constitutional republicans".  You know, the Ron Pauls, the Bob Barrs among us.  Berkserker, you remember that Ron Paul won in a LANDSLIDE in the "who would you vote for" thread we had here.  It's safe to say that a majority of your political board members are NOT being represented.  Instead, you have a FRINGE group like the neocons.

I think its time you reassessed the constituency.  BB has 1/3 of moderator powers here, and he represents less than 1/4 of your readership.  You have at LEAST 26% of your readers as constitutionalist republicans - way over 50% if you read the voting results - and they aren't represented at all.

I guess everyone forgot how much I like Ron Paul.  The only reason I chose to support Obama is because they railroaded Ron and Obama seemed like the next best thing.  I would still choose Ron over everyone else, but he won't even be in the race.

Ron Paul won the getbig primary, there's plenty of RP supporters here.

Very good point.

I don't see much of moderating from BB, which suggest that he's doing a good job.

Most importantly, just like Berserker and every other mod here, he seems to be able to separate his personal beliefs from how he's moderating.

It's not like he's locking or moving threads because of attacks on him.

This thread BTW, should probably be on the Question board, still he hasn't moved it. Just goes to show that he's pretty thick skinned.

He's a democratically sound citizen from all I can tell.

[War-Horse]

I guess we do have true republicans on the board.   MB and bindare and hugo and myself....among others.    The neoconns are midbimbo, BBum, hh6...etc.


Hey this is great news.  We have no libs here!!!!     Only the neocons think us true republicans are libs.
