i know Republican people don't like this show

in fact they get anger with it, which i find it amusing...

Is it because the show asks questions that normally they, as conservatives, prefer not to think about the consequences of their actions?

Well I have no ties to the Rep. party. I vote for who I think is best regardless of party lines.

But I don't care for this show either. Far too much politcs and I know what's going on in the world. I don't need to learn from Hollywood filmmakers. Most of the episodes are just a build up to views.

I find it rather annoying. I don't mind subtle hints, but its like you're being beat over the head with it.

well as we all know (and I should know since I used to be almost 20 years a right winger...) republicans can't be given subtle stuff, otherwise they can't get it...

Subtle? There is nothing about this show that is subtle!

I just started watching through it, didn't hate the first episode but wound up on these forums while watching the Awakening. It's like the ending of a bad children's movie. I also found it patently ridiculous that you have the U.S. arguing with China and Russia about military issues, when either country would have launched a full strike without even speaking to the rest of the world more likely than not. Politics has nothing to do with it, this is just plain bad writing.

It drives me nuts you have the audacity to call this subtle. And if you used to be right wing and couldn't understand subtlety... well, that sort of calls into question your own abilities in discerning subtle undercurrents more than anyone else's.

This is extremely late and it's unlikely you'll ever see this, but his point is that it's not subtle because right-wingers wouldn't get it if it were.

Hence the reason you can boil it down to this simple conclusion, right?

No they don't. Or I don't anyway, and my voter registration card says I'm a Republican. There are fanatics out there who will froth at the mouth if anyone speaks against a neo-con TEAbagger talking point. But those so-called Republicans don't always come in-line with the basic GOP standards of less government intrusion, fiscal responsibility, and personal freedom. Heck, most liberals don't have a problem debating sensibly and politely when us normal Republicans bring up those basic issues. There are many points of those that both agree upon. No, the posters here are that are raging about "preachy" and "liberal-bias" are:

A - Acting out of a very deep seated persecution complex that makes them RATHER see that everyone is against them than reality. Which is of course these stories are FICTION and don't have any bias against anything outside of each story's established reality (which does not include the real world.) I mean, I could claim that "Watchbird" had a Gungudandian Party slant. It could have, that could have been the supporting party in that story. But since I just made that party up, it has no basis in reality, see. That is what FICTION is.

B - Just sick of being baited by liberal dicks.

Wasn't Heinlein a Republican?

Not that it matters as there is barely a paper wall between the two hard right wing American parties.

Republicrats indeedy...
