the moderator hasn't deleted all my mesages in this thread yet. Guess they're slipping. Too bad they don't take the time to read all of 'em. Guys, come on. If we don't get a little bit tough we're gonna keep getting walked on. I don't think Howard Dean or Dick Durbin needed to apologize, and I don't think I do either. If we can't gather here as friends and stir up a little dust, where and when can we ever do it? This is important. It's our country and our lives. I can take the criticism and I'll always respond in the clearest way I can to express myself. But I do occasionally like to "upset the apple cart just to see which way they go a'rolling." If I call you an ass, I am not attacking you. I am, however, stating that something you said caught my attention and I have a strong feeling about it. I just want you to respond. If you are offended by my take, I will let it drop, promise. But if you want to discuss it, I'm there as long as you are. I may change your mind, you may change mine. But I've gotten just a bit scrappy since the year 2000. We need to work together. If we're too afraid to roll up our sleeves and air our dirty laundry amongst ourselves first, we can never, ever expect to go out there and give as good as we get from Karl Rove. That's all I'm saying... I expect to be delisted anytime now. It was nice knowing you all. I actually regret that I was too rude for your august company.........
