It's really hell raisers like Dixie and thoughtfull pundits like the Bare Knuckled Pundit and Midcan that attract new blood. A big part of the problem is that, politically speaking, there's not a whole lot going on.Arguing against borderline retarded people who think that Obama wants to euthanize old people isn't that fun.
Maybe this is a comment on Obama's brief tenure in that there's not been a whole lot really to argue about. TARP and UHC have been about it. With Bush hardly a week went by where his administration didn't create some asinine controversy, which sure makes life a lot more interesting in this place.
In other words, there's not a whole lot to argue about right now with out making shit up.
