Those are all valid reasons as to why these guys would do it. Honestly, what percentage of actual traders do you think would vote Obama? I bet the percentage is incredibly lopsided to the GOP (notwithstanding the 2008 election) OR libertarian. So the idea that a whole slew of libs just happened to descend upon a trading message board is ludicrous. The fact that we always get a whole new group of liberals that just "happened" to find this message board and immediately find their way to P&R is equally ridiculous. Besides, pspr has caught a few of these guys red-handed...even that coward Ricter who created his own sock puppet to create "consensus".
Oh yeah, the whole "balance" charade again. I think you should try to find some "balance" with the fucked up neurochemistry in your brain. I'd bet Henderson, NV has plenty of facilities for whatever ails you.
