Every now and then some fairly interesting political discussion happens
here, I have a question for those who like to participate in that
discussion. Where is a good forum for that kind of discussion?
I am considering putting up a political web site that mostly will
involve people in, or running for the US Congress, and would like input
on my ideas. A few hours ago I posted a message with some of my ideas
for the site at 'alt.politics.usa.congress', but it seems like the
extent of the discourse over there doesn't amount to much more than
"Bush is a lier" or "Hillery is a evil". I was hoping to find a forum
with a little more intelligent discussion.

Don't think there's an "intelligent" forum anywhere on Usenet dealing
with politics in any shape or form. :-))

Human nature being what it is, even if someone posts something
"intelligent" in the way of a question or a comment, it usually takes
about 4 nano-seconds for someone to say Bush sucks, or Hillary's an
asshole; America is the land of evil; take your pick :-)))
