Its honestly not worth the hot air. The rules only apply when the politics go against the mods beliefs. It wont change.

Actually, the number of political posts that we have pulled that agree with the majority of the mods (not all of us have the same affiliations) out numbers the others.  You just don't see them before we pull them. 

And just because a post has a candidate's name, doesn't mean it's political.  But, news, polls and other stories that suggest one candidate is better than the other, are political.

For example, a post that states "Today Obama shaved his head" is not political.   Yet one that says "Today Obama is leading in the polls" is political.  They both might be facts, but the latter fact will more likely cause a politically charged discussion than the other.  Yet, if the former fact lead to a politically charged discussion, then yes, it would also be pulled.

People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

I agree SCHRO...... this is an awfully fair Forum. That comment was just an act of "baiting".
