I have found that the folks here that are politically active do it within a venue condusive to that end...there are several clubs here that match pretty much each person's political agenda...Most folks just keep their thoughts to themselves unless it comes up in conversation and if it becomes disagreeable in any way it just simply ends...that is my personal experience and I'm currently dating a member of the Women's republican federation and yes she knows I'm a democrat..We rarely talk politics...I do believe the conservative agenda is alive and well here as that is the leaning by the developer,and this place does play host to just about every republican candidate you can imagine...the governor is here frequently and there have been several nationl level republiccans here in the past,Including George Bush,though I'm sure he had help finding the place (LOL)..c'mon Ritchie,that was a joke...
