Could care less about them actually.

How about comments about how the election was rigged? How about how the Bush family acts like they are American Royalty? How are his daughters excused from duty?

It wasn't- hasn't been- so what? That's not my perception. It's a volunteer military- they choose to not volunteer- shall we bring back the draft?

And, finally, how about some emotional disgust with all of the body bags being sent back here from Iraq. Those bags hold our people, our fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers.

Who knew what they were going into- who are more honorable than any of the armchair generals sitting safely here deciding how things REALLY are over there.

That is disgusting to me. And, your constant remarks about Dems and how you can't imagine them keeping their word, etc. etc. That is so, ah, narrow minded? Democrat is a political stance, and, if you knew some who lied or whatever, that doesn't mean every single Dem does.

You see, that is where I, as a Dem, differ from you, a Republican. I do not lump people together and then insult them all, of course, all the while presuming that I am better.

Bullshyt- you just did.

Which is what a lot of your posts do.

Said from the safety of the majority around here.

Thought I'd point that out because I just don't think you get that.

I see you came out here and had a great time, people welcomed you and were eager to meet you. People are people. This constant knocking of 'dems' is really getting old. I know this is a political time but I think enough is enough.

Just my .05c

And a freakin' good morning.

Spare me-

Conservatives get just as knocked here. I don't like the democrat party- and I will say so.

I said I HOPE they do keep their word- but I DOUBT IT. That is not narrow minded- I am trying to be positive about things and hope for good things.

But I have my doubts-

I don't think I am better- but I am sick of explaining that to anyone.

People are people- the guy who called my politics evil gave me a hug at the wedding. I LIKE the people- I loathe the politics on the left.

I am not backing down from that- anymore than the left backs down from hating the politics on the right.

I am having a freaking good morning thanks-despite the sanctimonious stuff here!
