1. Why?
I mean...why would you want to?

They are not going to change their minds.

3. Yahoo News discussion
But there really isn't much point. You might as well argue with a rock.

a great quote I stole:
Those who interact with Trolls should remember this "Reasoning with one who has abandoned reason is like giving medicine to a dead man"....Thomas Paine.

6. Here's one spot:
www.able2know.com

Well moderated, no flaming permitted, lots of topics besides politics also.

Lots of right-wing freaks, lotsa us.

7. The most reasonable bunch can be found at
redstate.org http://www.redstate.org/

There are actually intelligent people at this site who you can hold a conversation with. It's nothing like free republic.

That said - keep in mind that they are still solidly GOPers.

Good luck!

8. http://www.itshappening.com
go to the rant and rave section. There are quite a few in there. There are good dems too, but the repubs are pretty rabid.

12. I used to post at the St. Pete Times Forum
You can try it if you like..... http://forums.sptimes.com/Forums/ubb/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

There used to be some reasonable people trying to debate the repukes. Probably still are. Unfortunately, some folks are hopeless and I just felt dirty reading their shit after a while.

13. The community board on a disney site
The Community Board on a disney related board has a number of political debates. http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=33 the conservatives who post there are mostly idiots but they will argue and quote talking points from Drudge and Newsmax.

14. I know of plenty of places. Some are political boards and
some are political rooms of Christian boards.

http://timeforachange.bluelemur.com/newsbooks.htm#forums for the politics boards.


For the Christian ones that have a lot of conservatives, this place has some rather vicious conservatives.
