BULL!!!! You advocate the problem that got us here -- SPINELESS leadership from the rear premised upon what others think...

Exactly where did I advocate that? I'm talking about tone, not substance.

How will you determine how to offend the least amount -polling? Is truth based upon majority rule?

I won't have to given that I've never advocated that. That would be the worst approach to take, because you can't accomplish anything of significance without offending a lot of people. It elevates winning elections over meaningful accomplishment. Reagan ticked off a lot of people, but he didn't do it unnecessarily. The point is to not offend more people than is necessary to accomplish your goal. In other words, offense is find. Gratuitious>/i> offense that simply makes you feel good but loses votes you might otherwise have gotten is not.

Get a clue!

Well, since we're now offering advice, here's mine: Try thinking with your head, not your emotions. Example: capitalizing words and adding multiple exclamation points doesn't make your argument any more persuasive. It just makes you look like a hothead.
