Okay, someone should give you a serious answer. Being an arch liberal, I was appalled when I first read the Sun. Now, I read it for the activities and the ads and the Letters to the Editor to indulge my basic masochism. I get my news from other sources, but it is a good way to see the perspective on the other side of the fence (and I don't particularly like their view, sorry gang).

The Morses own the paper. They are beyond Republicans IMHO. During the Presidential primaries, we had a plethora of Republican candidates here, up to and including Ms. Palin. The Dems had to show their candidates outside of TV. So, if you want unbiased reporting, don't look to The Daily Sun -- like most businesses, it will reflect the attitude of the boss.

In all seriousness, there is in fact a Democrats Club. I don't know when they meet but if you're really interested, just contact any of the rec centers and they'll look it up for you.

The reality is the majority of those residing here are Republicans. Some are even so conservative that they think the Republican party is liberal. However, many here will happily debate politics with those who are "bent the wrong way" (as I was once told). Or, as was said, we just don't discuss politics and enjoy ourselves regardless.
