Reply #43: I've tried a few but not much luck. I like reading other posters opinions [View All]

and beliefs presented in a rational manner, those from the left and the right. I will not discount a rational post from either side and like it may contain a link to some information I was not aware of so could not have taken into consideration regarding my stance on an issue. In one way I like that DU has the entire spectrum of those on the left but on the other hand it does get a bit annoying hearing those further left proclaim if you don't agree completely with X,Y and Z issues you are not Democrat. Or the childish references of "freeptard" and other nonsense that I don't think is called for and certainly not conductive to any form of rational discussion, Reps pull this same crap, funny how each side is bashing the other but act just alike. One of the sites I liked for a while began to be over run with childish insults and zero debate between the fanatical wingnuts and the zealot moonbats becoming a place to whine and cry rather than intelligent debate.
