I totally agree with what PTurner stated. As an non-activist uninvolved Republican, I have never discussed politics with anyone in TV that didn't first let me know of their leaning. Each time it was friendly and nothing to be concerned about. I can also say the same in reverse!

If you're concerns are based on the remarks against the Sun you're reading on this thread, I encourage you (or anybody else) to go to the following link and read one of those articles that the Sun is being criticized for and judge for yourself if there is anything in the article that would justify such criticism against the publication or if it's much adieu about nothing! Enjoy TV and don't let the perceptions of others deter you from doing so! It's a fantastic place!

This thread is being moved to the political forum unless or until the Admin deems it belongs elsewhere. The tone and content of posts have veered off course from any non partisan discussion of the Daily Sun's publishing policies.

I have lived here 7 years and I can tell you that politics does not come up as a matter of course here in TV.

Most people make absolutely no use of their political bent in the normal day to day living whether here or anywhere else. I believe categorizing TV as conservative or liberal or white or black or what ever is a distorted statement.

When is the last time you had to determine what the political affiliation was of anybody before you:
moved out?
Moved in?
Went there on vacation?
went on a cruise?
went to a particular restaurant?
joined a particular club (unless it was a political club)?
Wouldn't it be a shame if you had to consider which church based on political slant?

It just does not happen in day to day living.

Recognize the Daily Sun for what it is....the developer's promotional organ...

So those of you who are considering moving here or anywhere else, don't let the perceptions of the minority sway you.

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...

Hopefully it bothered you as much when liberals denigrated Bush and members of his Admin istration?

As one poster mentioned news comes to us from so many sources. I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, Orlando Sentinel, Daily Sun and numerous magazines along with e-news letters

I have learned to ignore politics when around the health center and on the golf courses. I go light on them when out to dinner.

Even in this forum I make a good attempt at addressing politics and avoiding personalities

Very good. I also made myself a promise, as many already know. I promised to give this President the same amount of respect that the Democrats accorded former President George W. Bush. I believe I've held true to my promise and I'm proud of it.
