Talking I'm going to start a political blog

Subaruguru and I have decided to take it up. It'll be my 5th website and the only one not dealing with business. I post here everyday so why not do the same on my own portal?

What should I name it?

It will undoubtedly have a conservative flair with the exception of the commentaries from those with more liberal views. So we don't want a conservative name... we want something that's neutral and inviting. Something that doesn’t dash the hopes of a unique visitor that doesn’t have the same view(s) as we do. We want participation.

If salty has a grain of sense, he won't let Hella near it.

Gotta retain some credibility. Hella's not even a conservative.

It's funny you mention that because I actually remembered your location and thought of the exact same title. It's quite good... There's enough California-based politics to center the blog around while also tapping into other Blue states and general topics.

As I said before... we don't want to chastise the views of liberals and people that tend to have a liberal view on a topic. We think we can still welcome debate even though the blog with have a conservative flair.

I like the title idea… I just don’t know if it comes off as too conservative? I would like Purple Faced in a Blue State but it doesn’t snap. Or does it? Seems like it could be mistaken for a blog on homosexuality.

EDIT: Seems to be a popular idea: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Red...&cop=&ei=UTF-8

hehe... that made me laugh.

Dont worry about how your title comes off. I have read enough of your BS () to know that you aren't a complete inbred unabomber conservative.

Be sure to post a link once you create it... I would definitely check it out.

Cheers,

Commonwealth entrophy....because that's exactly what it will be. If you get opinions from both sides it should be a very informed and worth while site. I'll def. be sure to visit it.

Or.........democracy + entrophy= dementrophy. BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

We should really just allow people I-club "politics forum only" logins for those that aren't active in the Subaru community but want to see our so educated and professional political debates. For a car site I think we do pretty damn well in the politics forum.

I was wondering if it would be possible for people to log into only the politics forum of I-club. That way you guys can tell your friends to...........ah nevermind. That'd be straying from the point of a car website and can "politics only" oriented people really take us that seriously.
