GDP has been very successful and it's absence is already plain. I don't want to be part of a fan club, I want to be part of a vibrant community, with a variety of opinions, that are expressed in a civil, and reasonable manner.

I think it's up to Skinner when we go into campaign mode, but I suspect it will be whenever the GOP has a de-facto nominee, which my best guess is February. It's looking like Newt and at that time it's going to be important to have a semblance of unity. I think many people have forgotten how united we were in the months leading up to the 2008 Presidential Election.

I think it's an acceptable use of the BOG group - a group for Obama supporters, but also for people who want to respectfully put their two cents in. We now have even more power to define the meaning of respect and enforce it. I'm against arbitrary decisions with no justifications and believe such decisions should be open to group purview.

That's the Democratic way:thumbsup:
