I wasn't referring to your calling JR 'an idiot'...that was funny, because I thought you were just having a little fun and trying to lighten things up a bit. It worked for me, because I laughed. I was referring to JR calling Peach an idiot, plus other insulting remarks. I never called him a despot - that was my complaint about him - he didn't follow the guidelines he set for HIS forum.
I am a fiscal and social conservative, and I want to win as much as he does. However, we may have a different approach to winning. I won't compromise my conservative principles, but I prefer to win by trying to be smarter, not louder and nastier. Some of those who left for whatever reason, were trying to explain why they were supporting someone that I have no intention of voting for. I don't see why their opinion couldn't have been posted and ignored if you didn't agree with it! If you wanted to disagree, do it civilly w/o the name-calling and insults. That's just my opinion, and I will be of sound heart (and I hope sound mind) and strong will. You keep your sense of humor and spread it around. I'd rather laugh than to moan any time!
