Think he will be voted out of office? I doubt it.

Really think Ard should put a ban on people who make political posts.

Maybe one week for first offense

Lifetime for 2nd

That would clear this crap up real quick

OP would be banned in about two weeks

I wasn't necessarily pointing out OP. All of em. Both sides

Just my opinion

The above forum, if people would use it, would be a great place to discuss such items.

You weren’t, but I did. Seems the only reason he shows up is to do what he did above.

Spent much of the weekend discussing Va Tech game which I attended. Have plenty of football related posts.

I just posted an OT post about hypocrisy in government. Didn’t post anything to start an argument. In fact, I don’t think anyone could argue with the post’s title if you read the article.

Kinda like the same SoBs who profess their heart break and prayers for the victims of Vegas yet gladly take money from the NRA? Oh too soon???? Orlando then. Too soon? Aurora. Too soon? Sandy Hook? .....,, you get the idea.

 

[cwbarr1]

Yep, just like those that accept millions from countries to their foundations for “favors”.

 

[gardentiger]

A long long time ago I mistakenly posted a political rant in the middle of a Batson thread or something. First reply was, "dude, you just took a huge dump in the middle of this." Still laugh about that.

Especially during football season...jeez

 

[amynhop]

Yeah let's not have any political posts but let's fill up the board with lots of other non football related shvt. Some of you people infuriate me.

 

[tigers71]

Round table is just for this. Please move this and all politics there. If I wanna debate politics or other non sports stuff, I'll know where to go. Wish others would figure that out soon.

[kgwillison]

I didn’t try to fool any one. I made it clear it was OT. I made it clear it was about Congress.

Then people come into the thread and complain that it relates to politics!!

No one put a gun to your head to read the thread. Sheesh.

 

[tigers71]

This board used to be so cool, but times finally caught it. Why I don't post much anymore. Too many agendas on here. PLEASE DON'T HURT MY FEELINGS, BUT MY MESSAGE WILL BE HEARD NO MATTER WHO I HURT. SORRY, BUT MY VIEW IS MORE IMPORTANT AND IF YOU GET MAD SO BE IT. JUST DON'T HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW OR HURT MY FEELINGS. THATS JUST NOT RIGHT.

You know why people don’t like you. You have a different opinion.

I take nothing from the NRA. I sure as hell have paid my dues and been a proud member for over 45 years.

@TAINT_PAINT time to take out the trash.

20 posts since the OP and none have addressed the topic.

Idk shit about that Congressman but the story reminds me of this song

The point is that politics shouldn't be on this board. Period

Lots of people feel the same way

Unfortunately, the owners do not.

But it wouldn't take much to prevent it.

I would like to hear a rationale as to why people use a Clemson sports message board to discuss something so polarizing.

Again - not pointing the finger at you. But all political threads

Maybe we need a group to just go in and wreck political threads on purpose to get them moved

But YOU opened the thread on your phone or computer. Are you upset that a thread took space on your screen? Do you open every thread and read every post and are now upset that you wasted precious time reading a thread about a hypocritical congressman?

This post is very hurtful.

Ignoring people on a message board is some hardcore beta cuck shit.

lol are you calling him the sheep? the guy who recognizes the connection between republicans who refuse gun control measures and the donations which they receive from the gun lobby?

Thank you.

Im a registered Republican and have voted the party line in every election since I was 18 (except this last one).

Enough is enough. I’m not for banning guns, but all any private citizen needs is a revolver, shotgun or a bolt action rifle BUT no one can even have that discussion because it’s never “the right time”.

If that makes me a sheep .... ok, I’m fine with that.

I opened it for the sole purpose of starting a discussion on moving it.

Bottom line is they dont belong on the sports board. And I know many others feel the same.

Guess what? It got moved to the appropriate place. Place where it should've started.

I DGAF what the political thread was about. That was not and is not the point.

Well, this place is not TI - Facebook; TI - CNN; nor TI - FoxNews

There is a place for political posts. Its own special place.

IDGAF if that infuriates you.

Many people are glad that political crap is now being moved almost instantly. Way overdue

What infuriates me is you hypocrites who bitch about political posts but have no problem with restaurant, tax, lawn care, or which socks to buy threads. Off topic is off topic. If one is allowed on the main board why should the other be moved to the RT?

And IDGAF that you don't want to see a political post on the main board. DON'T OPEN IT. Problem solved.

again, for the 3rd time.........not the point. The problem is the location. I think it is clear that the posts getting moved as quick as they are is making my point.

Sure, I don't open them. The fact you don't understand that there is a board that has been created for political talk tells me all I really need to know.

I hope going forward you (and others) can find a place where you can anonymously argue politics.....(maybe Round Table, maybe some political forums)

If you want the West Zone to be Tiger Illustrated Facebook, Im just not sure that is why the website was started. Good luck with that

Let's be clear..... just because I don't share your same viewpoint doesn't mean that I don't " understand" as you put it. I'm entitled to my opinion. We don't agree and aren't going to.

And LOL at you feeling the need to throw in your crappy because "I don't understand " ( in your opinion) tells you all you need to know insult. That insinuates I'm dumb and that tells me all I need to know about you. Move along.

I very rarely agree with @amynhop but I'll give her credit when I think she's right! I don't care about lawn care either, why should it be allowed in the West Zone and not politics? You know what's not polarizing enough? Lawns. They're a lot of work and bad for the environment. I wish society didn't care about a well manicured lawn.

@amynhop and I certainly don't get along on Politics, but she's dead on here. There are always posts on the West Zone that are OT. And I salute the posters that label it as such. I mean how many posts are there on "cutting the cable cord". There are always a few on lawn care, investments, and of course what you can and can't wear. When the posts are labeled correctly, I don't mind at all. There was one on here just the other day asking for help with a golf swing. I don't play golf and don't give a damn about it in general, much less some random guy's swing. I didn't open it... problem solved. I usually do the same for the investment posts, but who can REALLY resist the what not to wear threads?

Personally, I like the political ones. As most of you know, I'm to the left on this board which is strongly conservative in general. And I love to play the devil's advocate, so that's fun times for me...

BTW, for those of you who don't do tech much... It's really not a big deal to move a thread. If it takes a mod more than 10 seconds to move a thread to the round table, they are doing something wrong.

Agree. You and I don't share the same political views but we are always respectful of each other. I appreciate that. You are one of the good guys.
