Yet, here is another political thread and he's locking horns like a champ.

The problem with Vendzilla is that he reads websites and news that are totally slanted in one direction and accepts them as fact without any verification.
A great example is the town that made firearm ownership a requirement. That's wonderful that Vendzilla believes in our 2nd amendment, but don't buy into the propaganda that the NRA spits out. That silly little town that the NRA writes about has a crime rate three to four times my home town - and my home town doesn't have a firearm requirement.
The gas prices is another example. Instead of accepting the fact that the price of gas rose three times under a Republican President (and an oil man at that), he wants to bitch about how gas has been over $3.50 for years and then wants to tell us about how gas went down twenty years ago under Reagan. The price of gas now is a direct reflection of the prior President allowing the price of gas to triple over his two terms, and what Reagan did twenty years is is completely irrelevant.
Vendzilla says "People keep trying to put me in a GOP guy, I really don't give a fuck about the parties" yet.... He somehow brought up Reagan, which is the best thing that ever happened to the Republican party.
