Very well put - I agree wholeheartedly. I think we can't wait and hope for the RNC to say the things that need to be said, and therefore will repeat my call for letters to the editors. Newspaper readers really do read the letters, and some well-reasoned opinion, like your post, is what is needed.
OK, you and Endeavor have inspired me on this Independence Weekend.
I wrote the Florida GOP today and volunteered to shuttle voters, man phones, anything they need me to do on election day or earlier. GWB's victory is assured here in Alabama and I'm only an hour away from the Pensacola, Fla. area. I can easily vote here then drive to FLA for the rest of the day...well, let's hope the election ends in one day this time!
I've even mulled over "moving" to Florida that week so I can register to vote there. Who's to say anything if my "plans change" the next week and I "move back" to Alabama?
