I was surprised to read that Daniel's a fan of Michael Moore. Maybe I wrongly assumed that born again Christianity goes hand in hand with conservatism (that sounds like a jab, but it's not). Well, Daniel, whether you're a liberal or you just enjoy keeping an open mind, it's nice to know that there are some non-Republican (or at least closer to the middle of the road) poker players out there. Maybe tax beliefs make conservatism more accessible to the lifestyle of a poker player, or maybe poker players are a little more self-involved and a little less preoccupied with the rest of the world, but it seems like most card players slant to the right. But that might not be true, either - just the impression that I get.

I don't think its fair to make an assumption like this, about poker players slanting to the right. Thats like saying football players are all liberals, or suburban men are all republicans. Neither are true and you cant figure someones political beliefs from what they do for a living.I know it was just the impression you got, but be careful of those impressions

You don't seem to understand that that is his point. He wants show you can be the complete opposite and still make sense.

Daniel had posted some comments about racism in the Southern US about a month ago and I was very surprised he made a general comment like that. After reading that comment, I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out he's a fan of Moore's.His comment led me to believe his opinion is perhaps swayed by the media, just like most of Moore's clones.

Kind of like your 'Jewish agenda in Hollywood' comments a while back? Sounds pretty racist, specifically, anti-semitism. Your comments hold no weight because you, yourself, are racist.I guess the word R.A.C.I.S.T. is vulgar on here since it was censored.

Go read something like " The enemy within" by michael savage...just skip the part where he talks about english being the only language in america...his statements on that are just ignorant and should be taken with a grain of salt...but everything else is just great. Oh and flame away all the liberals who probably despise michael savage with a passion

[NikolaiPutin]

You have to understand Daniel is from Canada, and they're a bunch of frozen back bacon eatin', beer swillin', tuke wearin' commies up there, eh. :wink:

[Smasharoo]

Having worked as a political consultant for a long time in DC, I can tell you that Republicans feel exactly the same way about people like Michael Moore. That guy may have helped re-elect GWB in some small degree with all his foaming at the mouth craziness. Just putting his name in a fundraising mailer means millions of dollars to the RNC.For a guy that worked in politics (and still does to a lesser extent), I myself am pretty agnostic when it comes to parties. In the words of Hunter Thompson, they're both parties of swine at times. But, of course, what fun would politics be without the crazy wingnuts on both sides of the political spectrum? Love 'em.Shane

I can tell you that Republicans feel exactly the same way about people like Michael Moore.Of course they do. Mainly because they're just not that bright. When Savage's movie does 100 Million give me a call and we'll compare the two.

Have you heard the expression "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt?"You just verified it's veracity.
