I may very well be completly wrong here, but IMO there is no place for politics on this list. Cryptography, by its very nature, is an anti-political thing. All politicians who try in increase the power of government are against the cypherpunk agenda of increasing the use of encryption, it doesn't matter what party they belong to. This discussion is simply a bunch of messages that bait people with different political alignments than the sender's, please take it elsewhere.
