I agree with Mr. Lawson here. It may make sense to discuss/debate ramifications of the various political party's plans for technology, but beyond that, it would be nice to find a different outlet for the not-technically-oriented mudslinging.

Folks, I think we are straying quite far from the "Vermont UNIX enthusiasts" charter, here. We may be VAGUE, but I think most people signed onto this list to talk about UNIX, Linux, FOSS, and user group meetings. The (non-FOSS) political discussions are not appropriate for this list, IMHO.
