As long as there is interest by members, and discussions are to discuss views and opinions and not insult other members...does it really matter?

what's funny to me is that as soon as someone on some thread says this site is "too boring" or "not interesting enough", we start getting political or religious threads. Is it simply to heat up the kitchen? As long as we can all respect each other, I think it's great

That's what I was thinking when I wrote the original post.

IMHO - Greg is trying to generate some interest in politics for the upcoming Election Board - and to hopefully entice someone to take the moderator spot. Any Takers?

To get people to start looking at the other boards at MyCoupons to escape boredom.

I'm sorry, I'm kind of a political junky. With the big election coming up next year and the primaries just about to start, I figured folks would be interested in a little debating and there is nothing in this world (other than my wife and golf) that I love more than a great debate.

Plus I wanted to see if we needed a board dedicated to election race or if it should just be another friendly topic here in the cafe.

Greg,

As a fellow junkie, you should know there is nothing "friendly" about discussing opposing political views.

Spirited, maybe. Friendly, not so much.

I'm all for the political threads. People should be informed.

Well, ofcourse I'll sign up if its FREE! Now, to figure what a republican,democrat,and mormon and all that is so I can figure out who to vote for.
