Liberal in the Land of Conservative

To anyone who is so inclined, I invite you to join me in the official Liberal in the Land of Conservative chat room located along the left sidebar. Tonight, among other things, we will be discussing the increasing obstructionism of the Republican Party on the Transportation Bill. Perhaps we can get a few Republicans willing to defend their party in offering nothing while voting NO on everything.

In order to participate you need to do one of two things:

1. Click on the big smiley face to start chatting. Once the Welcome to Geesee message comes up, simply click on the X in the upper left hand corner and you are ready to chat.

2. If you would like to expand the chat so that it can be viewed full screen, simply click on the button with four arrows pointing to the four corners. Once in the room, you must click on the big smiley face and you are ready to chat. a welcome to Geesee message will appear that will eventually disappear. DO NOT click on the button entitled Full Chat!

You will not need to sign in or create a username and can remain entirely anonymous.

Yesterday, a politically active conservative friend of mine emailed me to ask about some thoughts I had on the current state of the Presidential race. What I realized from that email is that I haven't been paying much attention to the state of things ever since my preferred candidate dropped out in Iowa.

So, to get back into the swing of things on a national level I have created two polls in the left sidebar to gauge the level of support in both the Republican and Democratic contests here in Minnesota. I will leave the polling open until Monday, February 4th. The only thing I ask is that ONLY people living in Minnesota participate and that you vote only ONCE.

To top it off, I am inviting ALL visitors to participate in the first ever Liberal in the Land of Conservative political chat on February 4th.

1. At 6pm, on February 4th, you can come to this website and click on the big smiley face in the left sidebar to participate in this live discussion. You will not need a log in name or a password and can remain anonymous if you choose.

2. If you would like to expand the chat window, simply click on the button with the four arrows pointing outwards to the four corners. That will allow you to chat in the full screen version of the room.

Given that the following day is Super Tuesday, we will discuss the prospects of Democratic and Republican candidates for President. Other topics of discussion may include the Senate race here in Minnesota or simply politics in general.

Disclaimer: As the moderator of this chat room I reserve the right to ban anyone or boot anyone who cannot abide by basic rules of civility. So, let's keep things respectful and perhaps these will become a regular feature!
