Shame what crap passes for vanities on FR these days. Bush makes history by dragging his party across the finish line in November in truly incredible fashion. We here on FR spent days, weeks, talking about how well the GOP did and how vindicated we felt that the Rats had been whipped. But idiots like this Billy Baldwin or whatever the posters name is, don't realize it is Bush and his, give an inch to the Rats, take a mile for the GOP strategy is what made our vicotry possible. Posters like this are the ones who like being in the minority.

I agree.

I don't mind vanities, IF they are more than idle speculation and present information in a FACTUAL fashion, instead of the author just spewing his opinions as though that was enough for credibility.

I wish the owners of this site would require in vanity posts, that the author provide references, supporting opinions, footnotes, or at least what you would expect to see in your average high school english report.

What we have are a lot of editorialists, thinking that their opinions matter as much as those from highly credible sources. They forget that those sources are fact-checked on a daily basis.
