I think we have a winner...in fact, I'm almost convinced that one day Darrin crawled out of one of Chumpy's dark crevices....
While that maybe true, before this forum it was near heresy to badmouth the GOP in Texas. What generated all the complaints to Kori and Tim in 'the olden days' wasn't what I was writing about the resident idiot in chief, that was all true or I never would have lasted, but that I had the gull, the sheer audacity to badmouth the GOP in red Texas....I don't claim to be the driving force toward any ideological change in this forum or anywhere else, but claiming that this forum hasn't given people the opportunity and the capacity to voice their free opinions without being overwhelmed by forum group-think is just plain ignorant.P.S. -- It might just be that the reason that there is more Bush bashing here is that increases in membership have brought more outspoken posters who disagree with this Administration. Despite the foregoing, I'm not believe that Dan is the causative force in the shift of the putative majority on SpursTalk.

Yes Dan, when I think of you I think, Courage. How could someone have the courage to bad mouth the GOP of Texas while anonymously sitting behind his computer and chatting on a message board that is dedicated to an NBA franchise. You're a true hero.
You're a delusional idiot.............and a loser..........
Or claiming that this forum has changed political discourse -- that people are so fragile that they won't post their real beliefs on the internet for fear of reprisal (really, what reprisal is there on the internet?) unless there's a friendly forum in which to post -- is just plain self-aggrandizing.
Certainly, I can only speak for myself, but there's never been one time that the fact of living in Red, GOP Texas has ever stopped me from expressing my honest political views, regardless of the side of the debate I'm supporting.
What's even more curious about your "I've made the difference" assertion, though, is that I'd bet that a significant percentage of those who post in this forum don't live in Texas.
Ultimately, I still think that the difference from 2004 to 2008 is the increase in membership and the diversity of viewpoints that increase brings. Here's a for instance: looking down the list of those with the most posts on this site, I checked and saw that CBF joined in March of 2005 and is member number 1216. Since that time, membership has increased ten-fold to 12,837 screen names. Now, I'll grant that a significant number of those are trolls, but even if fully half of the new members are trolls for existing posters, that means that membership to SpursTalk has increased five times over since early 2005. It's not as if that sort of increase, on a site dedicated largely to the posting of opinion, won't bring with it a significant number of opinionated individuals who choose to talk about politics.
True for the most part.
Giving credit where it is due, however; Dark Reign is about the most open minded poster who hangs around.
Yeah, whoops....I meant Tony Montana.
(cant believe I ed that up)
Bam. Opinions increase in numbers when the number of available opinions increase. Who knew?
This is one of the more self-fellating posts I have ever seen. Especially the last sentence. As if somehow, youve been a beacon of light in a dark forum. That you have somehow shown the path of dissent to the oppressed.
Whilst it may be true you were/are vastly outnumbered (politically speaking)being a Texan, theres a fine line between objective dissension and dissent for dissent's sake.
A line you routinely cross. For all the lackluster non-news stories that get their own thread here based off some sound-byte or editorial partisan opinion article, youre solely responsible for over half of them.
For as much as you try (and fail...routinely) to come off as objective and informative, those that see your overall contribution tag you for the partisan hack you are.
At least gtown, boutons, xray, etc dont hide behind some air of objectivity. Theyre stated, blatant partisans. They dont pretend to be something they are not.
You on the other hand...
That goes both ways...and then some.
A girl I know was pretty much a complete communist up until around 30. Then she got engaged to a rich guy and suddenly became very pro-market, since free-market economics now benefitted her
Quick Dan, change the subject to 9/11 so as to avoid any further virtual slapping that you are receiving in this thread.
Yes, I agree. That's why I didn't say anything yet.
I don't think Dan is worried about it. I wouldn't be. I'd just slap your ass back.
Let numb nuts speak for himself. And for the record, I said "virtual slap".
Now go back to lying to all of us about how content you are with your life.
I love my life. Now go back to ing about how pathetic yours is.
We know dude, you lie to us about it ing constantly.I love my life.
Link please.Now go back to ing about how pathetic yours is.
link please. I don't have to lie. I love my life and I'm sticking to it. Feel free to leave yours at your earliest convenience.
Whatever you have to do to sleep at night.

Close my eyes.
Well played JoeChalupa..........................plus we have found common ground.
Nice Joe....but just remember that winning a argument with JohnSmith is still like winning the Special Olympics...
Man, you're also very original.
Not only have you won the hearts of minds of people all over the globe Dan, but you've also come up with a joke that was invented in the 1970's.
By the way Dan, when was the last time you won an argument with anyone on this site? Last I checked, you routinely emberass yourself in the 9/11 threads and then everywhere else when someone disagrees with you, you just stop posting in that thread.
I'm awake and alive and kicking!!!
