How many of the askers in YA politics are actually operatives working for the parties? ?

paranoia is not necessarily a bad thing.....

you are being watched and recorded 24-7

What diff does it make? It's an open forum, and people are entitled to express their views on it.

>>>this is getting sooooooo old....you aren't going to get Palin off the hook by blaming the moderator.<<<

No offense, but you don't appear to get it.

Ms. Ifill has a CLEAR conflict of interest here.

An Obama victory helps her book sales.

A McCain victory hurts them -- if not totally destroys them.

I don't know how to make that any easier for you to understand.

She has a financial interest in seeing one side win over the other.

Thus, she should recuse herself.

"Conflict of interest" is not a difficult concept to understand.

And it's not hard to see that it clearly exists here. Once you get past your own biases.

"Operatives?" LOL More like angry or involved Americans and/or otherwise bored housewives and college kids. Plus a few socialists from foreign countries and I have NO earthly clue why they spend so much time on this board.

I can definitely say I'm not but I've heard they waste hours a day here pumping blanks into anyone willing.

A lot?

Its hard to tell, everyone has an opinion so in a way they all are.

Obama 08

I am a covert operator for the neo-isolationist party and proud of it.

In case you haven't noticed, there is an epidemic of "brain drain" on here.

Probably very few. Most of them are just your average American citizens.

I wish I were! I'd love to make money for stating my opinions!:)

Utterly none by what I can see.
