This isn't a political site, it's for fiction. In the past, I've allowed a few political blogs that had some connection to the TG community. But not right now.
No political blogs AT ALL from now until November 15, 2008, or a week after the current US presidential race is decided, whichever is later.
After that, political blogs will be allowed on a case-by-case basis depending on MY judgement of their interest to the TG community and lack of incendiary potential. My volunteer editors may unpub a blog I have not seen, or remove it from the front page but they will consult with me for a final decision.
This isn't about fairness in political discourse, it's about the survival of this site as a fiction site.
Hugs,
Erin

I Applaud Your Stance
I think we are all tired of seeing enough of it on our TV and I for one, will be glad when it is over. Thanks for being a neutral zone and a place to get away from it for a little while.
Hugs,

There goes my idea for a Rufus T Firefly for President blog here at BC!

I agree 100%
Thank you, now if you could only come up with a way to stop the automated phone calls for political idiots. I hate being interrupted while ready a story here the president or the governor or anyone else asking for a vote.
Personally, Dora the Explorer would get my vote.
I 2nd that 100% Answer!
ERIN; I agree let's keep the site totally NUETRAL on POLITICS! Richard

Agreed, but Rufus T firefly would be an outstanding leader
Duck Soup is a favorite movie.
The musical numbers in particular are gems of satire.
Though if you want ficticous or dead candidates I say lets nominate the late Pat Paulson. On the shortlived 1988 revival of the Smothers Brothers Show he came on one and talked about how he had traveled all over our great land in the intervening years -- since the show was cancled in 1969 -- and said something like how he had heard the sad tales of the poor, the complaints of the working class, how the small business man could not compete and so on and he ended up saying something like.
"I have heard all these voices and America I have to say ... stop your bitching and moaning!"
Hang on gang, it's only a few more weeks. Do vote for the candidates of your choice but please don't pester me about it. I like to make up my own mind, thankyouverymuch.

Erin I applaud your stance as I have seen nothing but Political Garbage everywhere else and I am glad you will not let that stuff happen here.
