If Badger is a registered Republican in the state of Ohio, then why the hell shouldn't he have a R-OH avatar? I find his constant trash talking of, well, pretty much literally all things Republican to be quite annoying lately (he at least used to be clearly a Republican who simply had more liberal views than the average Republican, now he's gone way further left), but he's still a Republican, and it would probably have a positive effect on politics in general if we had people like Badger SOLIDLY aligned with the GOP and people like Santender SOLIDLY aligned with the Democratic Party and not waffling ... ideological diversity within parties leads to a less nasty polarization.
Tom, you realize this is a joke thread, right?
