Clearly, whether one mentions our two Senators or not has no reflection on the merits of the positions taken by these posters. What if I were to say that you have no standing to be critical of either Boxer of Feinstein because you've never cast a vote for their opponents as I have? That statement would be nonsense and irrelevant to your criticisms against Boxer and Feinstein.

Similarly, whether a poster or radio host actually has a double standard or not has ZERO relevance to the issue at hand. It may go to the integrity of the complainant, but the statements, complaints, and positions stand despite the possible faults of the messenger

That all sounds nice and fancy, but the real life fact remains that the majority of these posters spitting blood at Hutchinson, get all upset when the real life fact that they don't criticize their elected representative in DC.

Hey I'm used to be attacked as the messenger, to bad John and Ken can't take the heat.

Let me revise the above italicized passage, the last sentence should state,

get all upset when the real life fact that they don't criticize their elected state representative in DC.

Don't doubt that you understood me, but some on FR with correspondence PHD's in Semantics, probably didn't, thus my revision.

They don't even know you exist. You are not even a mosquito (which might carry West Nile virus) but a gnat, a "no see um", maybe even a dust mite.
