What in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, is going on?

Ok, ok, Josh is back as a Republican but he has a French flag and avatar and now he's socially liberal and economically conservative?

Have we been played for five years now?

And then there's Josh who changes with the weather.

Honestly, the kid was definitely a populist recently. And what the hell is with the French conversion?

You don't understand the history.

Josh started out as a solid populist, anti-gay, Christian Right, Republican
He became a solid populist, anti-gay, Christian Right, Democrat
Then it turns out that he is gay
Then he hates the Religious Right
Then he is a big liberal
And now....

     I know. Josh's PM score was once something like +1,+5. I also know about the infamous leadership conference. I was trying to be tongue-in-cheek since I sensed Phil was doing the same.

I went to a leadership conference and I've hardly changed.

     Yes, you told me. He however was not so lucky.

Don't know but I'm savoring it, at least while it lasts.

Does anyone remember that image he posted (perhaps it was in his signature) of a hot dude with his junk in a birthday cake?

Sounds like he hated himself then finally just came out and now has a hard on for Huntsman.

Soulty misses at least one step. IIRC, the infamous leadership conference turned him libertarian. Also, he wasn't solid populist to begin with. He was hard-line Republican, then turned populist Republican, then populist Democrat turned libertarian (possibly vice-versa) then gay and following that liberal Democrat and now apparently log cabin Republican.

I'm not saying a persons views can't change, in fact you are kinda sad if life expirience doesn't have that effect on you.

However, in my case, for instance, I started out as a S: +3 E +4 on the political compass.  And then you can track a slow, measured drift of my views toward the negative column, Socially, then I went I little bleeding heart, there on economics, for a bit, but am now back to probably around an E +3... over the full time I have been in college.  Or, sometimes, someone might do I total 180, after they have some "realization" in life.

But Josh has had a total 360 and then some.  He has covered all corners of the political compass in about a 3 year time span.

I also think Josh is the only forum member who has had all possible avatar colors not as a joke.
