Excellent, well said! Bears repeating.
I vow to completely blow off the never satisfied extremist activists who are always threatening blackmail. The ones who only bitch, moan, and encourage others to stay home. Always sending a message, never once acknowledging successes by those who followed through on as many of their demands as was possible at the time.
Perhaps the worst recent example of this was an article about Jeb Bush preparing to leave office, where he once again stated that he believed what happened to Terri Schaivo was wrong and that he is still bothered that he wasn't able to stop it despite his efforts. He didn't have to bring it up, and the conventional wisdom (rightly or wrongly) right now is that taking such a stance is political poison. Yet some backstabbing idiot then posts a picture of Herod washing his hands with Jeb's face superimposed.
Goodbye and good riddance to the kooks.

What is thine libertarian self smoking?
The religious kooks: 2-termers RW Reagan and GW Bush.
The lame-o has beens who couldn't cut the cheese because they wisely stiffed the religious right: GHW Bush and Bob Dole.
It's so hard to argue with you. You're just so right, you know the way these religious-appealing people just can't win.
AMEN!
